Permaculture (permanent agriculture) is the conscious design and
maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the
diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. It is the
harmonious integration of landscape and people providing their food,
energy, shelter, and other material and non-material needs in a
sustainable way. Without permanent agriculture there is no
possibility of a stable social order. (Bill Mollison).
Evolution from
Contemporary Agriculture
to a Permanent form of
Agriculture, hence
Permaculture
A 3 to 8 year Transition Period to
change over from Contemporary
Agriculture to Permaculture.
Basic changes involve:
• replacing animal forage grains
with tree crops
• increasing forest cover
• adopting low to no tillage on
remaining croplands
• retrofitting the house for
energy conservation
• producing some (if not all) fuel
on the farm.

LANDSCAPES
The benefits of swales on contour planted with
vetiver grass and acacia albida trees ;- 1
• promotes rainwater harvesting
• re-charges water tables
• reduces need for irrigation
• mitigates against soil erosion
• provides windbreaks that reduces wind burn and
creates beneficial micro-climates
• draws up vital minerals for plant use
• improves biodiversity BHOBHOYI FARMERS GROUP
• contributes to biomass that mitigate against HIBISCUS COAST MUNICIPALITY
Climate Change.
2
The benefits of raised beds prepared with a ridge-
bed-maker;-
1
• promotes limited till agriculture with minimal soil
compaction
• reduces need for heavy plant and equipment
• reduces need for irrigation
• enhances drainage from excessive stormwater
• establishes raised beds requiring minimal
maintenance and with improvements in soil
fertility.

The combination of swales and raised beds can

reduce irrigation needs by up to 50% and
Use of swales on terrain improve crop yields by up to 30% to 40%.

The Agri-Village Model AGRI-VILLAGE MODEL – FORM AND SHAPE OF AN AGRI-VILLAGE

AGRI-VILLAGE MODEL – FORM AND SHAPE OF AN AGRI-VILLAGE

• A Co-operative with a difference (36 families and 220 beneficiaries)

• An Agricultural Community, the members of which each have equal
shares in the village and it’s activities.
• Each family has:-
• a one hectare plot for homestead food security.
• a five hectare share in the village commercial agricultural system.
• A village that handles it’s own processing and value adding
• A village that creates it’s own jobs
• A village with it’s own school, crèche, social services, church and
training centre.
• A village owned and run by it’s people

THE NEED FOR A COMMON STRATEGIC

HUMANITY’S TWO GREATEST CHALLENGES
FRAMEWORK FOR SUSTAINABILITY
There is a wealth of foresight for Sustainability, but, there is no common policy, values, strategy,
measurement, action plan, targets, political will and leadership to implement Sustainability, hence the
need for a common approach. This presentation contains very few new ideas, but rather, compiles
some key foresights for Sustainability into a common Strategic Framework for Sustainability.
