PRINCIPLES
1991
Introduction To Permaculture
/ RELATIVE LOCATION...
Efficient function is achieved by careful
placement of elements in relation to each
other.
/ Observe. Use protracted and
thoughtful observation rather than
prolonged and thoughtless action. Observe
the site and its elements in all seasons.
Design for specific sites, clients, and
climates.
Bill Mollison
/ Connect. Use relative location: Place
elements in ways that create useful
relationships and time-saving connections
among all parts. The number of
connections among elements creates a
healthy, diverse ecosystem, not the number
of elements.
Toby Hemenway
/ EACH
ELEMENT PERFORMS MANY FUNCTIONS...
Elements are chosen and placed to
perform as many functions as possible.
Each element performs multiple functions.
Choose and place each element in a
system to perform as many functions as
possible. Increasing beneficial connections
between diverse components creates a
stable whole. Stack elements in both space
and time.
Toby Hemenway
/ EACH
IMPORTANT FUNCTION IS SUPPORTED BY
MANY ELEMENTS...
/ Important basic
functions (such as water supply, fire
protection and energy) are provided in
more than one way
Each function is supported by multiple
elements. Use multiple methods to achieve
important functions and to create synergies.
Redundancy protects when one or more
elements fail.
Toby Hemenway
/ ENERGY EFFICIENT
PLANNING...
Energy efficiency is achieved through
zoning (to conserve human energy), sector
planning (to manage wild energies), slope
planning (to utilise gravity) and by making
the least change for the greatest possible
effect.
Make the least change for the greatest
effect. Find the leverage points in the
system and intervene there, where the least
work accomplishes the most change.
Toby Hemenway
/ USING BIOLOGICAL
RESOURCES...
Use biological resources (5 Kingdoms of
Nature) wherever possible to save energy
and do the work of the site.
/ ENERGY CYCLING...
Nutrients and energies are stored, used
close to their source and used repeatedly
to avoid wastage before flowing off-site or
to sinks.
Catch and store energy and materials.
Identify, collect, and hold the useful flows
moving through the site. By saving and reinvesting resources, we maintain the system
and capture still more resources.
Recycle energy. Supply local and on-site
needs with energy from the system, and
reuse this energy as many times as
possible. Every cycle is an opportunity for
yield.
Toby Hemenway
/ SMALL SCALE
INTENSIVE SYSTEMS...
Good design makes maximum use of
minimal land; using productive human
labour, hand tools and animals, rather than
large machines and fossil fuels; and is
multi-dimensional - utilizing vertical space
(plant stacking & trellising) and overlapping
successional crops (time stacking).
Use small scale, intensive systems. Start at
your doorstep with the smallest systems
that will do the job, and build on your
successes, with variations. Grow by
chunking.
Toby Hemenway
/ ACCELERATING
SUCCESSION & EVOLUTION
/DIVERSITY
/ Diversity
increases productivity and stability, with
polycultures, not monocultures; orderliness
rather than tidiness; and guilds of elements
that work harmoniously together.
Use biological and renewable resources.
Renewable resources (usually plants and
animals) reproduce and build up over time,
store energy, assist yield, and interact with
other elements.
/ EDGE EFFECTS...
Extending and exaggerating the
boundaries between adjoining systems
provides additional contributions from the
resources of both systems, increasing
productivity.
Use the edge effect.
/ The edgethe intersection of two
environmentsis the most diverse place in a
system, and is where energies and
materials accumulate. Optimize the amount
of edge.
Toby Hemenway
/ ATTITUDE
Positivism is what drives Permaculture and
the relationships that we develop as people
working together toward our collective
future.
/ Mistakes are tools for
learning. Evaluate your trials. Making
mistakes is a sign youre trying to do things
better.
Toby Hemenway
/ EVERYTHING
WORKS BOTH WAYS...
Good design turns disadvantages into
advantages; / sees
solutions not problems.
/ Turn problems into
solutions. Constraints can inspire creative
design. We are surrounded by
insurmountable opportunities. Bill
Mollison
/ YIELDS ARE
LIMITED ONLY BY INFORMATION AND
IMAGINATION...
Permaculture uses creative design, rather
than energy or capital, to increase
productivity.
Abundance is unlimited. The designers
imagination and skill is a bigger limit to
yield than any physical limit.
Toby Hemenway
Get a yield. Design for both immediate and
long-term returns from your efforts: You
cant work on an empty stomach. Set up
positive feedback loops to build the system
and repay your investment.
Toby Hemenway
Algae
The protoctista, as the scientists like to call this domain, is a mix of slime moulds and algae. We
have over-simplified this and call these species algae, knowing that scientifically it is not 100%
correct. These are the first ones to have a nucleus.
Fungi
The fungi include moulds and mushrooms and have a rich biodiversity that is largely unknown. We
do not even know in about 95% of the cases how to distinguish a male from a female.
Plants
Plants are the most recent arrival on Earth. There are millions unknown, but their beauty has
inspired poetry and they know how to procreate in cooperation with animals.
Animals
Animals, yes the largest number of species are the worms. We are most likely descendents of
worms, and not of the chimpanzee. It is not a pleasant thought, but it is a recent discovery.
Actually, if we have to believe the scientific hypothesesof Lynn Margulis, then we are
descendents of bacteria, or better stated, descendentsof symbiosis of bacteria! After all about
10% of our body weight are still bacteria.
2. Whatever is a Toxin for One, is a Nutrient or Neutral for at Least One Species
Belonging to Another Kingdom
If a species eliminates toxins within its own system, it will degenerate.
As human's we tend to classify things that are toxic only from a human point of view.
We assume that anything that is toxic for humans must also be toxic for every other
species in every kingdom. Cyanide, is a well known toxin for animals, but several plant
species produce it and use it effectively as a defence against predators. Apples are rich
in cyanide, and so are peaches, though none have to be labeled "dangerous - cyanide
inside."
The elimination of toxins by passing through the other kingdoms does not mean you
have to die first. If you (member of the animal kingdom) are ill, then balance your
system with the presence of algae, fungi, plants and bacteria. The illness that affects
you, will dissapate in the wake of abundance from nutrients and anti-bodies provided by
spirulina algae, reishi mushrooms, acidophylus, bifidus, garlic and avocados.
4. Systems are More Efficient and More Resilient the More Diverse and the
More Local They Are Operating
If non-native species are forced to become part of the local ecosystem, it will
degenerate.
Plants and trees, in co-existance and in co-evolution with species belonging to the other four
kingdoms will create the best, most effective system from within the boundaries of its own
micro system. The more variety, the more fun. No one on earth has ever witnessed a
situation in which a group of plants and trees in a temperate climate feel the need to bring
over some fungi from the tropics. This does not mean that there is no cross-over as migratory
birds demonstrate. Though the core of production of consumption, regeneration of left-overs
of one, as a food and value for another, is local. Transportation is kept to the absolute
minimum.
In our global economy we want everything from everywhere at any place and time. This leads
to a massive transportation system which contaminates our environment and causes
massive introduction of non-native species. At the core are only a few local species left,
which evolved together over millions of years. We have increased the fragility of our own
system because if a few of the remaining links break, the whole system could collapse. The
more local the activities, the stronger they are - and there will be much more flexibility as
diversity increases. A system that is local will be more efficient and resilient.
