What are the three pillars of permaculture?
Permaculture, as articulated by David Holmgren in “Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability,” operates on the foundation of three core ethics: Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share. Permaculture is an approach to land management and settlement design that adopts arrangements observed in flourishing natural ecosystems. It includes a set of design principles derived using whole-systems thinking.
What are the three core ethics of permaculture?
The three ethics are: Earth Care, People Care and Fair Shares. They are not exclusive to permaculture and were derived from the commonalities of many worldviews and beliefs. They are therefore shared by many throughout the world. The big three of morality (autonomy, community, divinity) and the big three explanations of suffering.
