Summary:
Cultiver un jardin de ville ou une terre agricole sans perturber les écosystèmes ni trop se fatiguer. Habiter une maison qui consomme moins et qui produise même un peu. Mettre sur pied des réseaux d’échanges dont les bénéfices resteront dans la communauté. La permaculture permet à chacun de concevoir et de réaliser ces projets – et bien d’autres – simplement en imitant les modèles déjà présents dans la nature. Dans ce micromanuel abondamment illustré, Graham Burnett montre en effet que la permaculture consiste d’abord à travailler avec la nature et non contre elle, en minimisant l’effort requis. Le niveau d’intervention optimal, selon l’auteur : « ne rien faire »! Car la nature est économe, pour ne pas dire paresseuse. Son principe est de multiplier les interactions fertiles, d’employer des éléments qui remplissent plusieurs fonc tions, de tendre vers l’autosuffisance et de ne rien jeter.
