Permaculture is a design/holistic/integrative science, whereas the mainstream/academic science is reductionist &#8212; that is, to understand how things work, scientists break a system and study the tiny parts.
Nevertheless, permaculture can benefit from [...]]]></description>

Tony Rinaudo&#8217;s IPC10 conference presentation was one of the highlights of the event for three good reasons &#8212; 1) because of the scale of impact his Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) work has achieved (more than 30,000 km&#178; of re-greened, regenerated land to date); 2) the utter simplicity &#8212; and thus doability &#8212; [...]]]></description>

One of the highlights of the tenth International Permaculture Convergence was meeting Tony Rinaudo of World Vision Australia. Tony is a living example of the posture required for the development of truly regenerative systems. Tony has come to see patterns of people, plants and landscape which allow deserts to grow trees again. [...]]]></description>

Chop-N-Drop is a Permaculture term used to describe a simple, yet highly-efficient system of creating mulch. Plants that make good mulch are pruned frequently and the cuttings are dropped directly on the ground below. This creates a beneficial layer of organic material that helps conserve water, reduce weeds and create food for nearby [...]]]></description>
