A look inot the histroy of Permaculture adn its roots. Then a look into the state of the world very briefly. Following that an examination of each of the principles laid out by Bill Mollison in the book Introduction to Permaculture. Finally ending with a few pictures that provide looks into Permaculture Management techniques reflecting these design principles.

1. Permaculture Design

2. What is Permaculture? " “ Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple.” By Bill Mollison

3. Permaculture is the harmonious integration of all life kingdoms into agriculturally productive ecosystems and socially just environments, producing sound economic consequences. It’s a design science reflecting patterns in Nature that seeks to build interconnections allowing for energy efficiency and abundance of yield.

6. Bill’s Inspirations

7. Huge Monocultures No Diversity- Globalization

9. FIELD

10. PLOW

11. DESERT

12. Which way will we go??

13. Design Science “ A beneficial assembly of components in their proper relationships”

17. In commerce

18. zones ...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone. Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter." - Bill Mollison

20. Permaculture Principles

21. Relative Location- Making Interrelationships

22. Multiple Functions for Every Element Mulberry Tree: Shade Forage Food Nutrient absorber Protection Soil Builder Entertainment

23. Multiple Elements for Every Function ( slow and sink water) Rain Garden Rain Cisterns

24. SWALES Swales are water harvesting ditches and mounds on contour .

25. Chinampas: Reconstructed Wetlands Ditch and Mound Increase land increase water Increase productivity

26. Contour Hedgerow

27. DAMS GABIONS

28. Keyline Design

29. GreyWater

30. Energy Efficient Planning

31. zones Zone- Placing Elements in our Design based on Intensity of Use

32. Sector Analysis - Mapping wild, oncoming energies Wind (Summer and Winter) Sun (Summer and Winter) Noise Pollution View Wildlife Fire

34. Nitrogen Fixing Plants

37. Use of Biological Resources Chicken Tractor Weeding Fertilizing Tilling

40. Energy Cycling Source To Sink

42. Small Scale Intensive 20 million Victory Gardens in 1943 They were producing 41% of the vegetables being consumed in the USA

43. Food Not Lawns A house with two cars, a dog, and a lawn uses more resources and energy than a village of 2000 Africans.
