Introduction to Permaculture: Concepts and Resources - Alternative Farming Systems
See outake below:
Introduction
The word "permaculture" was coined in 1978 by Bill Mollison, an Australian ecologist, and one of his students, David Holmgren. It is a contraction of "permanent agriculture" or "permanent culture."
Permaculture is about designing ecological human habitats and food production systems. It is a land use and community building movement which strives for the harmonious integration of human dwellings, microclimate, annual and perennial plants, animals, soils, and water into stable, productive communities. The focus is not on these elements themselves, but rather on the relationships created among them by the way we place them in the landscape. This synergy is further enhanced by mimicking patterns found in nature.
A central theme in permaculture is the design of ecological landscapes that produce food. Emphasis is placed on multi-use plants, cultural practices such as sheet mulching and trellising, and the integration of animals to recycle nutrients and graze weeds.
However, permaculture entails much more than just food production. Energy-efficient buildings, waste water treatment, recycling, and land stewardship in general are other important components of permaculture. More recently, permaculture has expanded its purview to include economic and social structures that support the evolution and development of more permanent communities, such as co-housing projects and eco-villages. As such, permaculture design concepts are applicable to urban as well as rural settings, and are appropriate for single households as well as whole farms and villages.
"Integrated farming" and "ecological engineering" are terms sometimes used to describe perma-culture, with "cultivated ecology" perhaps coming the closest. Though helpful, these terms alone do not capture the holistic nature of permaculture; thus, the following definitions are included here to provide additional insight.

Osaka Sushi, located in Plano at Park and Preston costs about, $20. They have a decent selection of sashimi, maki rolls, and sushi as well as a hot bar with smoked salmon, teriyaki chicken and tempura. If you've never eaten sushi before, I recommend getting a water to drink. Sodas will destroy the flavor of the fish as well as the wasabi. The best part is, you can order a steak and miso soup as part of the buffet price. Oh, and the dessert bar is the same length as the sushi bar and has cake, green tea ice cream, custard and fruit.
Another place is Blue Fish on Greenville. They have an all you can eat dinner for about $30. Because they make your sushi on demand, everything tastes a lot fresher than a buffet does. They don't serve dessert or any other extras as part of that $30 price, however.
