Permaculture (permanent culture) is the conscious design and maintenance of cultivated ecosystems that mimic the diversity, stability and resilience of natural ecosystems. It harmoniously integrates landscape, people and technologies to provide food, shelter, energy, and other needs in a way that will sustain present and future generations. It also supports community structures such as economic systems, finance and trade systems, as well as land access and cultural concerns.
