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.
