How can we live within nature's limits and resources? With global oil production at its peak and the end of cheap fossil fuels, permaculture offers a pragmatic response to the challenges of our time. It uses systems thinking to "consciously develop landscapes that mimic the patterns and relationships observed in nature and provide abundant food, fiber, and energy to meet local needs." In four decades, permaculture has become an international movement, making a practical contribution to the sustainability debate.
In Permaculture , now the definitive book on the subject, David Holmgren theorizes and illustrates 12 principles that can be used to design a sustainable lifestyle and adapt to the "energy descent" that will follow peak oil. Each principle is the subject of a separate chapter.
