Permaculture Or permanent agriculture and permanent culture, is an agricultural view to produce diversity, stability and resilience to natural ecosystems (Mollison, 1995). Permaculture integrates landscape and people through mutually beneficial synergies. As a system of design, it forms a multidisciplinary thinking and practice, including agriculture, water harvesting and hydrology, energy, natural building, forestry, waste management, animal systems, aquaculture, appropriate technology, economics, and community development. “Permaculture is about values and visions, and designs and systems of management that are based on holistic understanding, especially on our bio-ecological and psychological knowledge and wisdom” Holmgren, 2017, para 1). Culture of sustainability and ongoing ecological adaptation and diversification yield outcomes sometimes impossible to measure through the values of capitalism and consumer society. Can we vision different and more permanent (methodological) futures?
