the Sustainable Agriculture Research Institute
Permaculture
(permanent agriculture) is a system of agriculture that combines landscape
design with perennial plants and animals in such a way that each element
supports and enhances each other element. It offers a safe, sustainable
agriculture for town and farm. In an age of famine, poisons, erosion,
population explosion, dwindling fuel supplies and receding forests, it
promises a low energy, high yielding agriculture for the whole world.
Jeff
Nugent has over twenty five years experience in teaching Permaculture Design and a
longer history as a Permaculture Designer. He is co-author of the book Permaculture
Plants - a selection and author of Permaculture Plants - Agaves and Cacti.
He is currently working on other Permaculture Plants books
and a futuristic novel. He has worked in four continents and has taught courses in Australia, North America
and Africa.
The
