Harness the power of permaculture to thrive, not just survive, the
great transition from fossil fuels Caught between climate change
and a fossil fuel-driven economy that demands ever more growth, the
world faces a great transition—by design or disaster—away from
fossil fuels to an alternative renewable energy future. But what
proven tools are available to aid in making a successful,
deliberate transition to resilient and sustainable living? For the
first time, the power of permaculture design has been brought to
bear on the great transition problem. In the process, acclaimed
permaculture teacher and designer Ross Mars has distilled his
considerable knowledge into the ultimate permaculture resource for
resilient and sustainable living. The Permaculture Transition
Manual is packed with information on permaculture design
principles, gardening, soil building, nutrient-dense food growing,
including top plant and tree selections for all climatic zones.
Coverage extends to rainwater harvesting and irrigation, human
waste management, and strategies for rural properties plus a unique
focus on applying permaculture to small urban spaces for
decluttering and efficient food growing. Also covered are hand
tools, food preservation, alternative renewable energy production,
low-carbon housing, and a plethora of nearly forgotten and cozy
skills such as soap making, basket weaving, seed saving, rope and
candle making, and more. On the desert island of a world in decline
this is the one-stop guide to vibrant, resilient and sustainable
living you'll want to take with you. Ross Mars is a scientist with
a PhD in Environmental Science, entrepreneur and highly-regarded
permaculture teacher and designer. Author of The Basics of
Permaculture Design, he manages Candlelight Farm, a permaculture
demonstration site and training center in Western Australia.
