Course Goal / Objective
Permaculture, by definition, is a combination of the English words permanent and agriculture. The aim of permaculture, which was founded by Australian Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in the 1970s, is to create easy-to-maintain, stable and self-sufficient production areas by bringing plants, animals and people together in nature. It aims to provide information about environmental protection, food safety, and the definition and evaluation of sustainable agricultural systems. It aims to emphasize the place and importance of sustainable agriculture and plants in sustainable agriculture.
