While Permaculture requires the 3 ethics (and the principles) it also requires design. We are designers and have hundreds to thousands of tools at our hands to create permaculture design.
Permaculture design is a systematic approach to planning and creating sustainable land-use and agricultural systems using the ethics, principles and practices of permaculture. Permaculture design involves understanding and working with the natural characteristics of a specific site, such as its climate, soils, water resources, and existing vegetation, to create a productive and sustainable system.
Social design is a branch of permaculture that focuses on the application of permaculture principles and practices to the design of human communities and social systems. It is based on the belief that the same principles and approaches that are used to create sustainable and productive land-use systems can also be applied to the design of human communities and social systems.
Design for the 2022 NPF in Vesilahti, Finland. Part Three, the Action Phase. We have the team, the processes and the technical side set-up, so it is time to get rocking. I describe some problems we encountered in the team and how they were solved…
Design for the 2022 NPF in Vesilahti, Finland. Part Two, setting up the team for the task, including team building and management with the goal of ethical and principle-based co-creation of the 11th annual Nordic Permaculture Festival.

This design is to show a data driven approach to assessing and accrediting permaculture places. It was driven by the frustration I got working with the LAND (Learning, Action, Network and Demonstration) system in Finland.
At Beyond Buckthorns we combined a curated plant database with geospatial data to create a digital twin, extending the edge permaculture design and fostering a connection of the online and natural world.
In 2022 we run our first PDC here at Beyond Buckthorns. Dominik designed it using permaculture ethics and design. Read about observations and the design.
