Welcome to the Permaculture Institute of Thailand’s knowledge base. We are just starting it. Please be patient. It will be a digital warehouse of “best Practices”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Permaculture is a holistic integrated approach to designing stable, productive, natural, wildlife friendly farms that support adjacent ecosystems. It is a practice shared now in over 100 countries. The yield’s are stable and resilient food, “greater quality” and often “quantity” of nutrient rich foods than support our personal and planet health in total contrast to our current chemical and poison spray based agriculture food industry.<\/p>\n

It is based on permaculture humanistic ethics, nature’s eco-system supporting principles and design approaches, taught in the Permaculture Design Course created by Bill Molission and David Holmgren and is based on the book “Permaculture a Designers Manual”.<\/p>\n
