Permaculture is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems.

Without permanent agriculture there is no possibility of a stable social order.
Bill Mollison

Chinese landscape paintings often include tiny figures - as if to emphasize the grandeur of nature of which humankind is one small part.

Think big and live small.
