4. The Ethics of Permaculture Permaculture is unique among “alternative” farming systems (e.g. organic, sustainable, eco-agriculture, biodynamic) in that it works with a set of ethics that suggest we think and act responsibly in relation to each other and the earth. The ethics of Permaculture provide a sense of place in the larger scheme of things, and serve as a guidepost to right Livelihood in concert with the global community and the environment, rather than individualism and indifference. Care of the Earth … includes all living and non-living things- plants, animals, land, water, air. Care of People … promotes self-reliance and community responsibility- access to resources necessary for existence. Equitable Exchange of the ecologically produced surplus … gives away surplus- contribution of surplus time, labor, money, information, and energy to achieve the aims of earth and people care. Permaculture also acknowledges a basic life ethic, which recognizes the intrinsic worth of every living thing. A tree has value in itself. Even if it presents no commercial value to humans. That the tree is alive and functioning is worthwhile. It is doing its part in nature: recycling litter, producing oxygen, sequestering carbon dioxide, sheltering animals, building soils and so on.

6. The Principles of Permaculture Design Whereas permaculture ethics are more akin to broad moral values and codes of behavior, the principles of Permaculture provide a set of universally applicable guidelines which can be used in designing sustainable habitats. Distilled from multiple disciplines- ecology, energy conservation, landscape design, and environmental science- these principles are inherent in any Permaculture design, in any climate, and at any scale. Observe Observe Observe Observe and replicate natural patterns Obtain a YIELD Functional relationships between and among elements Renewable resources and services. Produce no waste. Integrate rather than segregate Natural plant succession and stacking Polycultures and functional diversity Increasing “edge” within a system Accept feedback Perennialism, build to last, prudent use of non-renewables … .AND MORE!
