Permaculture can be seen

as a sustainable philosophy

and lifestyle which integrates

different components, like ecological knowledge

(interconnected natural processes which happen

in nature); peoples ability to design production

systems like agriculture and animal husbandry;

using appropriate and environment friendly

technology; and awareness to work together

with the local culture and environment.

In general Permaculture can be

dened as permanent-

agriculture, which means

achieving sustainable

agriculture and

animal husbandry

through protecting

or improving the

natural environment,

and permanent-culture,

which means preserving,

supporting and working with

the local culture and environment.

Permaculture, which is based on the ethics

of caring for the land, the people and the future,

is very benecial in helping us to understand

and create an integration of harmony between

people and nature.

However, the reality is that through fullling our

needs and wants, we have already caused great

damage to the environment, including creating

conditions which are threatening even to

ourselves. For example pollution and damaged

habitats, which has in part been caused by

monoculture farming and animal husbandry

systems which use dangerous chemicals during

production. There is also genetic engineering

experiments which have many risks and

challenge the laws of nature.

IDEP (Indonesian Development of Education and

Permaculture) as a foundation working towards

education and Permaculture development in

Indonesia also feels responsible for all of these

problems and feels obligated to improve these

conditions, and little by little to reverse this

confused paradigm of building concepts and

production systems which are exploitative and

oriented for only short term benets.

As a manifestation of this feeling of responsibility,

we are grateful that IDEP has

succeeded in publishing this

Permaculture Resource

Book which has been

adapted from Permatil

( P e r m a c u l t u r e

Timor Lorosa’e)

for Indonesia. We

hope this book will

be benecial, and

will inspire, interest and

initiate action through all

layers of Indonesian communities,

both for people living in villages and in

urban cities, to adopt and adapt Permaculture

principles and practices which are outlined in

this resource book.

Our wellbeing and the wellbeing of future

generations are dependent on our ability to make

conscious choices and actions for improving the

environmental and social problems which we

have created.
