Summary

This classic DVD is an introduction to Permaculture (Permanent Agriculture): the design of an ecologically sound way of living in our households, gardens, communities and businesses in co-operation with Nature. This DVD, whose aim is to inspire people to start their own permaculture projects, shows how it is practised 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 café, 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.
