What is Social Permaculture?
Permaculture is more than just a design system for sustainable landscapes—it’s a way of thinking that helps us reimagine our relationships with each other, our economies, and the ecosystems that sustain us. Social Permaculture takes these principles and applies them to human systems, helping us create regenerative, resilient, and flourishing societies, organisations, and relationships.
