Beautiful Covered Terrace Ideas To enjoy your outdoors even during autumn, the focus is on a covered terrace, which will protect you from cooler temperatures. For more inspiration, discover 10 outstanding ideas for covered terraces that will make you love your outdoors in autumn as much as in spring.

To have lunches in your outdoors while being protected from the cool atmosphere, you can benefit from a wooden cabin in the garden.
Utopian Permaculture Farms Look Like Floating Fantastical Islands Dietmar Koering of Arphenotype’s utopian visions for the future of farming are both beautiful and completely self sufficient. His synergetic design is a floating permaculture, comprised of many green systems including wind power. Made possible by a grant from the Bakema Foundation and partnering with the Netherlands Architecture Institute and A10, Koering’s system is radical, futuristic, and would float about the North Sea. Floating Permaculture offers a solution to the inevitable depletion of fossil fuels and its effect on food. “Normal” farming as we know it puts a strain on fossil fuels, as produce is often trucked hundreds of miles to consumers, which contributes to traffic, air pollution and carbon emissions.
Procedia Environmental Sciences Volume 34, 2016, Permaculture, a Tool for Adaptation to Climate Change in the Communities of the Laguna Oca Biosphere Reserve, Argentina The Laguna Oca y Herradura del Río Paraguay Biosphere Reserve, have a Formosa City, as a part of the plain alluvial system and ecosystems, being observe serious issues to socioeconomic, cultural and environmental levels. According to the above, it was suggested that the habitants lifestyle from Biosphere Reserve, are unsustainable within the sustainability paradigm and by permacultural practices sustainable livelihoods will be generated. The study focused in assembling a database, about the reality experienced by these communities and the lifestyle of its habitants, was analyzed within the sustainability paradigm. The methodology used, was based on the territory diagnosis and model Survey Evaluation Sustentability Comunity, with a multivariate analysis information.

Journal of Environmental Management Volume 209, 1 March 2018, Local scale water-food nexus: Use of borehole-garden permaculture to realise the full potential of rural water supplies in Malawi Local-scale opportunities to address challenges of the water–food nexus in the developing world need to be embraced. Borehole-garden permaculture is advocated as one such opportunity that involves the sustainable use of groundwater spilt at hand-pump operated borehole supplies that is otherwise wasted. Spilt water may also pose health risks when accumulating as a stagnant pond.

SCI. 30/10/18 Effects of Permaculture Practices on Soil Physicochemical Properties and Organic Matter Distribution in Aggregates: A Case Study of the Bec-Hellouin Farm (France) Introduction Agriculture is probably the human activity that has the greatest impact on terrestrial ecosystems, given its global scale (Hathaway, 2016). Increasing awareness about the environmental limits of modern agriculture(Altieri and Nicholls, 2009; Stoate et al., 2009) has led to the need for a transition toward a more resilient and biodiverse agriculture model (Ferguson and Lovell, 2014). In this regard, micro- or mini-farms, inspired by the permaculture model (Mollison and Holmgren, 1990; Holmgren, 2002) and biointensive micro-gardening (Coleman, 1995; Jeavons, 1995), could potentially play a key role in this transition (Morel et al., 2017). Permaculture and biointensive micro-gardening practices aim to optimize the interactions in the soil-plant system for an efficient use of their ecological functions and ecosystem services (Mollison and Holmgren, 1990), while realizing high yields from a small area and sustaining soil fertility (Jeavons, 2001).
