Permaculture w<strong>it</strong>h a<br />

Mycological Twist<br />

Permaculture is a concept pioneered by Australian Bill Mollison<br />

and l<strong>it</strong>erally means "permanent agriculture. "His model of biological<br />

divers<strong>it</strong>y and complementary agricultural practices promotes<br />

a sustainable environment via the interplay of natural ecosystems.<br />

Permaculture has gained a huge international following after the publi-<br />

cation of his book Permaculture: A Practical Guide for a Sustainable<br />

Future. Permaculture has become the mainstay philosophy of the or-<br />

ganic movement. Mollison's vision, which borrows from Masanobu<br />

Fukuoka's One Straw Revolution, intelligently combines the factors<br />

of s<strong>it</strong>e location, recycling of by-products from farming and forest<br />

activ<strong>it</strong>ies, species divers<strong>it</strong>y and biological succession.<br />
