What is permaculture?

“What permaculturists are doing is the most important
activity that any group is doing on the planet” - David Suzuki

Permaculture is a design system for creating sustainable human environments. It aims to bring food production back to where people live and to develop new, sustainable ways of living in our cities and rural areas.

Northey Street City Farm provides its “living classroom” and experienced permaculturists to help people become confident and competent local food producers and earth healers.
