Harness the power of permaculture to change yourself and become a regenerative force for the planet

I am encouraged that so many permaculture practitioners, designers, teachers and activities are finding their voices ... and I personally wish you well with the book.- Dr. David Holmgren, Permaculture co-originator
The coronavirus pandemic has upended our food system, requiring us to rethink it quickly and in broad strokes. The principles for doing so, to the benefit of people and planet are all contained herein. Accessible, well-grounded, and profound. - Richard Heinberg, author The End of Growth, Senior Fellow, Post Carbon Institute.
AS CLIMATE CHANGE, the global pandemic, and ecological and social breakdown start to bite, rapid, positive change is needed now. Rather than looking to others, change must come from the inside out: transforming the "I" to "we," changing the world by changing ourselves, and re-establishing our deep connection to nature.
Human Permaculture is a richly-illustrated, forward-thinking guide that uses permaculture principles of ecological design rooting in people care, Earth care, and fair share for redesigning your life and community to align with the resources available on the planet. Coverage includes:
  • Human permaculture principles
  • A nine-step ecological and social life-design process
  • Discovering your personal niche
  • Stimulating the "edge effect" for efficient teamwork
  • Rediscovering our deep connections to water, soil, and nature.
This guide is for everyone who wants to find their own meaning in life, put their talents at the service of the environment, live ethically, and navigate the great transition we face in a world of profound disruption.
An outstanding book bringing together the theory and the practice of a most enlightened way of living in harmony with our precious plant Earth. - Satish Kumar, author, Elegant Simplicity, founder, Schumacher College
Applies design science to one of the oldest questions ever asked: what makes a good life? The younger you are, the sooner you need to read this. - Albert Bates, author, The Biochar Solution and Burn
