in the future an over-riding argument to embrace
GM technology in our food production may emerge,
but for now we remain cautious and protective of

What
is Permaculture?
"Permaculture is a practical design
concept applicable from the balcony to the farm, from
the city to the wilderness. It enables people to establish
productive environments providing for food, energy, shelter,
material and non material needs, as well as the social
and economic infrastructure that supports them".
Permaculture Melbourne exists
to:
promote the application of Permaculture principles in
the design of
 communities
and the landscapes that support them
support its members in the pursuit of these goals and
network with like minded organisations.
Core values:
care of the earth
care of people
sharing of skills, knowledge and surplus production
reducing consumption
recognising that there are natural limits to growth, and
our activities must
restore health to the planet.
Permaculture means thinking carefully about our environment,
our use of resources and how we supply our needs. It aims
to create systems that will sustain not only for the present,
but for future generations.
