------------------------------------------------

Here are four great books on permaculture design:

Permaculture is a permanent, self-sustaining system of agriculture, adaptable to both urban and rural situations, designed to produce an efficient, low maintenance, optimally productive integration of trees, plants, animals, structures and human activities within specific environments. The ultimate goal is ecological stability and diversity in a system designed for conservation of soil, water, energy and all other natural resources.

Listen to David Holmgren, co-originator of permaculture, talk in depth about the implications of peak oil for for food security and a post-petroleum future (streamed via Global Public Media).
