Permaculture is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. Introduction: The Problem with Permaculture Much of the permaculture content available today is too focused on specific practices. The solution is a clear step-by-step process to design, develop and manage a permaculture property. Step 0: Inspect Your Paradigm Our paradigms influence our principles, and processes and drive system behaviours either downwards, towards fragility, our upwards towards antifragility and abundance. Step1: Clarify Your Vision. Values, and Resources The infinite number of options that you could consider when building your permaculture property can be filtered down if you build a venn diagram that constrains What you want, What you Have, and What is right? Step 2: Diagnose Your Resources for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats Learn how to use form, timing, placement, and scale to simply describe your property resources. Step 3: Design Your Resources to Meet Your Vision and Values Permaculture design is doing something at a specific time, in a specific place in a specific amount with a continuous evaluation of what is ethical. Step 4: Implement the Right Design that will Most Improve Your Weakest Resource Order of property implementation: Geographys, climate water, access, structures, fencing, flora fauna, business, technology, soil. Step 5: Monitor Your Resources for Indicators of Well-being or Suffering Avoid burnout and only monitor what you can manage because you can only manage what you can monitor. Putting It All Together Clarify your visions, diagnose your resources; design your resources to meet your vision and values; implement the right design; and monitor for well-being or suffering.
