Permaculture is a theory of ecological design which attempts to develop sustainable human settlements and agricultural systems modeled from natural ecosystems.
A course of Permacoltura is a practice of cultural diffusion and contamination of principles and techniques that enable people to face the changes towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
The practice of Permacoltura is wide recognised as one of the operational tools in order to establish more sustainable models from a social and environmental point of view. The participation of urban gardeners to a Permacoltura course can enrich them, culturally and technically.
