Social permaculture 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.
Social permaculture incorporates a wide range of principles and practices, such as promoting diversity and inclusiveness, encouraging collaboration and cooperation, and working with natural systems and processes. It emphasizes the importance of creating resilient and sustainable communities that are able to adapt and thrive in the face of change and challenges.
Social permaculture can be applied to a variety of settings, including neighborhoods, villages, towns, and cities. It is a holistic approach that considers the many different aspects of human communities, such as economic systems, governance structures, social networks, and cultural practices. By incorporating social permaculture principles and practices, it is possible to create more sustainable, resilient, and equitable human communities.
