Permaculture design and ecological engineering are ways of managing land that work with nature rather than against it. Unlike conventional approaches—often shaped by industrial agriculture and intensive logging, which can degrade soil, reduce biodiversity, and damage natural resources—these practices mimic natural systems. The goal is to create landscapes that are resilient, regenerative, and self-sustaining: they store water, build healthy soil, provide food, and support thriving habitats while meeting human needs with our descendants in mind.
Permaculture Principles:
Closely observe land before designing to learn the natural flows and functions- no one-size-fits-all “solutions”
Make the least change for the greatest effect
Turn problems into solutions
Create useful relationships between all elements of the design- everything performs multiple functions
Promote diversity, native habitat, and long-term conservation of flora & fauna
Catch and store water, energy, & materials
Utilize renewable and recycled materials from the land & its inhabitants- close waste loops
Aim for food abundance and sovereignty - short & long-term
Implement slowly, expect failures, evaluate mistakes & adapt
Ethos
“design without design,” where... we’re creating the conditions for the things that we want to see happen rather than trying to force a particular set of outcomes.”
