Taranaki Permaculture Design Certificate

Permaculture - pathway to new possibilities.

Humanity is at a critical turning point in its relationship with nature. This is an unprecedented time of opportunity. Help to forge a new path for humanity in the transition to sustainable systems.

Permaculture means designing and maintaining a way of life that has the diversity, stability, resilience and self-organising qualities of natural ecosystems.

Permaculture is the harmonious integration of the land and people in such a way that the needs of food, energy and shelter are met without diminishing the natural world.

Permaculture design works with the cycles of nature and is relevant in all human activity.
