The Power of Permaculture Principles

In 2026 The Power of Permaculture Principles was published by Permanent Publications. In this collaborative book author Wilf Richards along with over 40 experienced permaculture teachers explore the wealth of permaculture principles to emerge over the last few decades, acknowledging all of the teachers that have contributed to the principles over time. The book shares the definitions and histories of the principles, why they emerged in the first place, the use of principles in the design processes and even how they were used to help write the book. It brings the principles up to date on their convoluted journey, adds in their complexities and cautions and how they are now being used, understood and applied. Permaculture principles have evolved from Indigenous knowledge, observations of nature’s cycles and the practices of permaculture over the past 50 years in many different climates and cultures. They can be applied to our personal, economic, social and political lives. The principles are a living evolving system that we need as we try to move towards a more sustainable regenerative life.

In an interactive talk Wilf will answer your questions about the book and share aspects about the books development including defining principles, history of the development of the principles, where the principles came from, why this book, the principles in the book and their applications and how do we use the principles in a design process.
