Permaculture originated from the term Permanent Agriculture to emphasis the relationship between people and their environment. It was later adjusted to come from permanent culture to also incorporate social aspects of the agriculture system.

"Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless labour; and of looking at plants and animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single product system".
- Bill Mollison, often referred to as the father of permaculture.
According to Mollison and Holmgren (freepermatculture.com, 2021 ):
Work with nature, rather than against it.
The problem is the solution. “You don’t have a slug problem, you have a duck deficiency.”
Make the least change for the greatest effect.
The yield of a system is limited only by the information and imagination of the designer.
Everything gardens, and is in relationship to its environment.
It is not the number of diverse components in a design that leads to stability, it is the number of beneficial connections between these components.
All design is ecological design, in that all designs, whether intentional or not, affect their environment.
