Permaculture, a portmanteau of “permanent” and “agriculture,” represents a holistic and sustainable design approach that extends beyond traditional farming practices. Originating in the 1970s, the concept was coined by Australian ecologists Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, who sought to develop a comprehensive system for designing regenerative and self-sustaining ecosystems. Over time, permaculture has evolved into a versatile set of principles that can be applied not only to agricultural landscapes but also to urban areas, addressing the challenges of food production, waste management, and community resilience in densely populated environments.
