Many people are growing unsatisfied with the ways in which our food system has degraded their individual and community well-being. Permaculture is an agro-ecological system, rooted in a set of ethics that in recent decades has sparked the interests of people far and wide, with varying backgrounds, to become more self-resilient and build healthier communities.

  • The Urban Food Forest  Creating a Public Foodscape
    THE URBAN FOOD FOREST CREATING A PUBLIC FOODSCAPE by XIAOYING SHI (Under the Direction of John F. Crowley) ABSTRACT With the rapid growth of the worldwide population, the urban food forest has risen in popularity in the last few years. The need to improve the sustainability of urban agricultural landscapes, to solve environmental issues as well as the problem of food security has driven this new concept. However, if the urban food forest is considered as an element of urban development, we should think not only about how it might improve the urban environment, but also how to blend it better into urban spaces. This thesis will explore how we can create multifunctional urban food forests that can be integrated into public places. In addition, the thesis will look at the urban food forest as a provider of food and space that encourages public and community participation. By comparing the spaces and functions of urban public places with the specialties of urban food forests, the “from food to space” design guidelines will be summarized. Finally, these guidelines will be applied conceptually to the City Hall area in Athens, GA, which has been proposed as a “family friendly” park space in the 2030 Athens Downtown Master Plan.

  • Introduction Section 2: Principles of Natural Systems and Design
    Section 1: Introduction Permaculture Ethics: “Care of the Earth” ― includes all living and non-living things, such as animals, plants, land, water, and air. “Care of People” ― promotes self-reliance and community responsibility. “Give Away Surplus” ― pass on anything surplus to our needs (labor, money, information) for the above aims. Implicit in the above is the “Life Ethic”: all living organisms are not only means but ends. In addition to their instrumental value to humans and other living organisms, they have an intrinsic worth. Permaculture is an ethical system, stressing positivism and cooperation. Section 2: Principles of Natural Systems and Design Guiding principles of permaculture design: • Everything is connected to everything else • Every function is supported by many elements • Every element should serve many functions What is design? It is composed of two elements: aesthetics and function. Permaculture design concen- trates on function . Functional design is: 1. Sustainable ― it provides for its own needs 2. Provides good product yield, or even surplus yield. This happens when elements have no prod- uct unused by other elements, and they have their own needs supplied by other elements in the system. If these criteria are not met, then pollution and work result. Pollution is a product not used by some- thing else; it is an over -abundance of a resource. Work results when there is a deficiency of resources and when an element in the system does not aid another element. Any system will become chaotic if it receives more resources then it can productively use (e.g. too much fertilizer can result in pollution).

  • Key Practices for Growing Polycultures
    v Key practices for growing polycultures Polycultures are two or more useful plants grown on the same plot, usually at the same time. From an ecological perspective, they try to mimic natural cycles. Like natural systems, they offer benefits including reduced pest damage, soil conservation, and can even increase crop yields per area compared to monocultures. Polycultures are the traditional way of growing food and are still widely used in the tropics, temperate market gardens, home gardens and allotments. Growing several crops together offers growers a diverse nutritional range, greater security of production and income, and efficient use of space. Although specialisation of machinery and economies of scale have led to widespread use of monocultures (large fields of a single crop). Polycultures offer significant advantages, for example, they can enhance: • biodiversity • nutrient cycling • soil and water conservation • carbon sequestration. They can also offer improved regulation of pests and diseases and can be more productive per land area than growing each crop alone. © Permaculture Association This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and Find out more: growobservatory.org @GROWobservatory innovation programme under grant agreement No. 690199 v Methods of growing polycultures Choosing a combination There are several ways to grow polycultures. The crop plants can be mixed Consider: (mixed cropping) or grown in single or multiple rows of each crop (row, or strip intercropping). A second crop can also be planted amongst a first just before it is • the height that different crops will be (pick ones that use complementary harvested (relay intercropping). spaces) • how much space each crop needs to spread (decide how many to plant and In mixed cropping, seeds can be combined then scattered over an area how close together) together, or crops planted around each other.

Diverse food forest projects are conceived from urban food initiatives to integrated conservation and restoration planning. Currently, the Galiano Conservancy Association is creating two food forests in the heart of a mature Coastal Douglas-fir landscape on Galiano Island, British Columbia, which is protected under a conservation covenant, in pursuit of sustainable food production, education and contribution to ecological restoration and conservation efforts. To investigate the relationships between emerging food forestry and ecological restoration and to identify key indicators to measure best practices of food forestry in the context of ecological restoration, I conducted 16 semi-structured interviews with food forestry and ecological restoration experts.

    PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE (PDC) Accredited with the Permaculture Research Institute (PRI), Australia, and, the Permaculture Association, Britain PDC FACILITATOR PDC Facilitator: Ezio Gori, www.permaculture2012.co.za Contact details: Email: [email protected], Mobile: +27 83 300 2385, Address: F24D&E Alverstone Road, Alverstone, Durban, 4001, South Africa. Qualifications: M.Sc Construction Management, MCIOB, Diploma of Applied Permaculture Design (UK). Experience: My 25 years experience in the development sector in Southern Africa has spanned a wide spectrum of projects, ranging from development planning studies, large scale land reform and public housing, infrastructure delivery improvement, labour intensive construction, community agricultural projects, agri-business plans, ecovillage designs, and, teaching Permaculture and Design for Sustainability. My website contains a portfolio of some Permaculture type projects and a host of other related information, including examples of my project management applications. My forte is in programme / project management, especially in the project conceptualization stage and the packaging thereof to project teams that can design, implement and operate such projects; and also, in establishing programme management systems. This forte extends through to Permaculture design, which in turn, has provided an invaluable approach for a more holistic application of project management processes. PDC APPROACH The PDC facilitator cannot teach on his own. Every PDC class has students with unique life skills experience that can contribute to any PDC. To this end, the facilitator draws from this collective experience in order to enrich the PDC class with a more holistic understanding of the PDC applications. For this reason, the course is taught in a participative and interactive way which uses “think and listen and feedback” discussion loops in order to facilitate the understanding of the course material and to reinforce the key lessons.

Let’s embrace sustainability because we love the things we love about right now” - Larry Santoyo This book is dedicated to the beloved World Community. We acknowledge the information in this text, passed down from pioneers of Permaculture, has deepest roots in the traditional cultures of the world. We recognize and give gratitude to all of the traditional cultures and their people as the source of permaculture and ecological knowledge. The permaculture movement is the modern expression of a lineage of earth centered understandings that is inherited from all who have come before us. We hold the deepest appreciation and thanks for all the Traditional People who have shared their wisdom and learnings from the natural world so that we can in turn reconnect and heal our relationships with ourselves, each other and the land. As settlers to the traditional territories where we reside, we are all grateful to live, work, play and help steward the land. We acknowledge that it would not be possible to be where we are without the ancestors of the land, their many contributions and sacrifices. We honour all of the living Indigenous Peoples who continue to steward the lands and carry the torch of their ancestral knowledge.
