Foreword

This Wikibook is, of course, a collaborative research project. It developed between 2008-2010 and remained its early stages. Over the years the idea of Permaculture got bigger and a larger "domain" approach realised in the international and multilingual Open Book of Permaculture and this will migrated or stays as a simplified version.

Introduction

Plan drawings for a herb spiral. Herb spirals are commonly used to teach introductory levels of permaculture design

Permaculture has its origins in the designs of produce gardens, farms, houses and communities, and so the examples and references in texts are dominated by such. It is hoped that over time, this text will collect references and examples of permaculture design processes being applied in a wider range of contexts like the extension of Open Book of Permaculture and Open Book of Ecovillages and Eco Communities

This book aims to provide a theoretical overview of permaculture to serve as a starting point for the research and application thereof. It does not aim to serve as an encyclopedia as there are other resources for that (see Other Resources).
