"For several years following its official creation by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in the late 1970s, permaculture had remained a marginal approach practiced by a small number of individuals.
Today, as we become increasingly aware of the amplitude of environmental and economic crises, more and more people look for solutions to problems created by the industrial civilization. Many of those who discover permaculture find new inspiration and a set of tools that make regenerating human and natural ecosystems a realistic, tangible project.
As the ideas of permaculture slowly permeate society, a growing number of people seek to learn the skills necessary to apply its principles in their own lives."
