Permaculture Magazine - Inspiration for Sustainable Living | Permaculture Magazine Permaculture eXchange | FAQ - Iceweasel Q: Is permaculture just gardening? In short, no. Permaculture is a design system for sustainability, which includes gardening in terms of food production, but it also includes other life systems such as energy-efficiency, water, recycling, and land stewardship. In it’s full form, it encompasses economic and social structures that support the evolution and development of more permanent communities. Q: Is permaculture just theory? Permaculture as a design science is theory, but there are many practical applications that have been put in place since it’s inception in the 1970′s. Many of the appropriate technologies advocated by permaculturists are well known and used in our every day lives, including solar and wind power, composting toilets, solar greenhouses, energy efficient housing, and solar food cooking and drying. Permaculture places a heavy emphasis on perennial food systems, polyculture and multi-cropping to ensure sustainability is built into systems.

Permaculture sans frontières | L'efficacité + l'éthique Permaculture urbaine Durant 5 jours, à travers des espaces symboliques de la capitale ou de la région, qui parfois focalisent l’attention, actions concrètes, débats, moments festifs et réflexions rythmeront ce festival. Au delà de l’évènement il s’agira d’enclencher une action permanente, vertueuse et participative. La nécessité de produire en circuits courts des aliments sains, sans produits chimiques, fait de plus en plus consensus mais les solutions divergent, de même que les priorités. Les terres agricoles représentent près de la moitié des terres en île de France mais seule une très faible partie de la production est consommée localement. Elles disparaissent en moyenne au rythme de 1650 ha par an dans la région, effacées par des projets souvent hors d’échelles, qui se cachent derrière des toitures ou des murs végétalisés et panneaux solaires. Jeudi 2 mai 19h : Rencontre / Débat. Vendredi 3 mai 14h-19h : l’Apiculture en pratique. avec Miel de quartier. Vendredi 3 mai 19h : des abeilles aux fruits.

DIY $2 self-watering garden bed - Grow produce easily, even in the toughest drought conditions - NaturalNews.com Thursday, June 26, 2014 by: Carolanne WrightTags: self-watering garden bed, sustainable agriculture, drought conditions (NaturalNews) "When life gives you lemons, share them with neighbors!" enthuses the Food is Free Project, a grassroots organization based out of Austin, Texas. It all began as a single, front yard organic vegetable garden with a sign explaining that the food was free for the taking. The founders of the project realized that most people don't grow their own food because of financial considerations, as well as the time it takes to maintain the plot. A zany video demonstrating how to build the raised bed, along with a wealth of other gardening resources, can be found at the Food is Free Project website. As wisely observed by Buckminster Fuller, "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. Sources for this article include:

Permaculture Now! Bill Mollison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Iceweasel Bruce Charles 'Bill' Mollison (born 1928 in Stanley, Tasmania, Australia) is a researcher, author, scientist, teacher and Biologist. He is considered to be the 'father of permaculture',[1] however Joseph Russell Smith, was the first to write about a system of Permanent Agriculture in a book entitled Tree Crops, published in 1929.[2] Permaculture is an integrated system of design, Mollison co-developed with David Holmgren, that encompasses not only agriculture, horticulture, architecture and ecology, but also economic systems, land access strategies and legal systems for businesses and communities. In 1978, Mollison collaborated with David Holmgren, and they wrote a book called Permaculture One. He received the Right Livelihood Award in 1981 with Patrick van Rensburg.

Racines et radicelles Les racines ont trois rôles. L'essentiel du système racinaire (ensemble des racines principales, secondaires et des radicelles) se situe dans le premier mètre sous la surface du sol (image ci-contre mesure a). Les radicelles sont les jeunes racines. Racine principale Les racines principales sont les racines les plus âgées.
