Permaculture (permanent agriculture) is an ecological design system
that draws on knowledge of natural ecosystems, traditional
indigenous practices, and modern scientific and farming techniques.
A permaculture approach is one of working with rather than against
nature. Permaculture offers a proactive approach to meeting human
needs in ways that are sustainable for future generations.
This design course is hosted by La’akea Permaculture Community, an
intentional community focused on sustainability. The 23-acre La’akea
site is full of the results of hands-on design projects implemented
by permaculture students and community members, and offers a wide
variety of real-life examples of sustainable living techniques.
Facilitators and teachers:
Tracy Matfin of La’akea Community
John Schinnerer of Eco-Living
Wade Bauer of OnoScapes Hawaii Edible Landscaping and Permaculture
Design
Dona Willoughby of La’akea Community
