What is Permaculture?

Permaculture is a contraction of the words permanent and agriculture and permanent and culture. Permaculture is a way to live Debra presenting 2013 websizesustainably in a region for many generations, taking care of people and taking care of the environment at the same time. Permaculture uses ecology as the basis for designing sustainability into food production, housing, appropriate technology, and community development. It is  a worldwide movement for regenerative design and implementation with many thousands of projects completed in over 120 countries. As Permaculture designers we study the patterns found in nature and the lessons found in natural ecosystems. We follow these patterns in designing and implementing home sites, farms, and neighborhoods, as well as less tangible structures like community economics and food distribution systems. Come join us on this journey.

Sonoran Permaculture Guild is located on ancestral Tohono O’odham land and the land of all cultures that have called the Tucson basin home since Paleo-Native people hunted game and gathered plants here starting about 10,000 B.C.E.
