Permaculture:
Principles & Pathways
Beyond Sustainability

By David Holmgren

Essential reading for permaculture designers and accessible to a wide range of critical thinkers.


This book draws together and integrates 25 years of thinking and teaching to show a whole new way of understanding and action behind a simple set of design principles. It is relevant to every aspect of how we reorganise our lives, communities and landscapes to creatively adapt to ecological realities which shape human destiny.

For students and teachers of permaculture this book provides something more fundamental and distilled than Mollison’s encyclopedic Designers Manual.

For the general reader this book provides refreshing perspectives on a range of environmental issues and shows how permaculture is much more than a system of gardening. For anyone seriously interested in understanding the foundations for sustainable design and culture, this book is essential reading.

Although a book of ideas, the big picture is repeatedly grounded by reference to Holmgren’s own patch, Melliodora and other practical examples.
