Abstract Permaculture is an environmental movement that makes us revaluate what it means to be sustainable. Through innovative agriculture and settlement design, the movement creates new communities that are harmonious with nature. It has grown from humble origins on a farm in 1970s Australia and flourished into a worldwide movement that confronts industrial capitalism. In this volume, Leahy unpacks the theory and practice of this social movement. Drawing upon research from the community, as well as extensive interviews with practitioners and organisations from around the world, the author explains the many ways permaculture is understood. --From publisher description.
