About the book
Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability is Holmgren’s seminal work, drawing together and integrating 25 years of thinking and teaching to show a whole new way of understanding and action behind a simple set of design principles. Relevant to every aspect of how we reorganise our lives, communities and landscapes to creatively adapt to ecological realities. Essential reading for permaculture designers and accessible to a wide range of critical thinkers.
Originally published in 2002, Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability explains the systems of permaculture in 12 design principles that together with three central ethics provided a foundation for a diversity of ecological solutions that characterise permaculture design, teaching, development and activism.
Fifteen years on the book was revised and redesigned, translated into nine languages and has proven to be the seminal text for extending permaculture beyond its agrarian roots. Although a book of ideas, the big picture is repeatedly grounded by reference to Holmgren’s own patch, Melliodora, and other practical examples.
