Permaculture (permanent agriculture) is the design of an ecologically sound way of living in our households, gardens, communities, and businesses in cooperation with nature, and this DVD aims to inspire people to start their own permaculture projects. It shows how permaculture is practiced in four very different settings: a Hampshire back garden belonging to the editors of Permaculture magazine, including fruit trees, vegetables, bees, chickens and ducks; a City Challenge project in Bradford close to a housing estate with 10,000 residents, tackling the problems of unemployment, environmental awareness, and backyard food-growing; a community co-op in Devon, which involves a cafe, allotments, and local composting scheme; and a small farm in the Forest of Dean where innovative marketing schemes ensure a close link between producer and consumer - including meat production, a vegetable box scheme, and locally produced charcoal.
