David Holmgren's 12 Permaculture Principles Explained by Jack Spirko
This is a commercial free version of Episode #2808 of The Survival Podcast, the original can be found here. http://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/understanding-permaculture-principles
The principles of Permaculture covered today are the 12 principles offered by Permaculture’s co-founder David Holmgren. There are far more than these 12, we are just going to cover these today as a way to expose our audience to what Permaculture is really all about.
I feel the discipline is largely misunderstood, either as simply organic farming on steroids or some hippy dippy lefty mud rolling eco leftist ideology. It is really neither, rather it is a design science used to create systems that work with nature to support all of humanities needs.
Join Us Today to Discuss…
Why permaculture really should not be described as permanent agriculture
Thinking about the difference between techniques and principles and why it is so important
David Holmgren’s 12 Permaculture Principles and my thoughts on Them
Observe and interact – (before, during and after)
Catch and store energy – (create batteries for more the electricity)
Obtain a yield – (systems should be producers, vs. consumers)
Apply self regulation and accept feedback – (give before you take)
Use and value renewable resources – (think in lifetime cost, beyond money)
Produce no waste – (pollution is a wasted resource)
Design from pattern to details – (design with the end in mind)
Integrate rather then segregate – (function stack and explore all connections)
Use small and slow solutions – (obtain the greatest effect with the least effort)
Use and value diversity – (nothing natural is a mono-culture)
Use edges and value the marginal – (systems edges have the highest productivity)
Use and respond to change – (the only thing constant is change, all change is opportunity)
