What is a permaculture?
Permaculture, as defined by Geoff Lawton is: 'A system of design that provides all he needs of humanity in a way that benefits the environment'.Primarily associated with food production, permaculture is a culmination of the words 'permanent' and 'agriculture'. Devised in the 1970's by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren of Tasmania, Australia. Permaculture aims to design and create sustainable, productive systems which and modeled on natural ecosystems.Three essential ethics underpin the Permaculture vision:Care of the EarthCare of the PeopleA Return of SurplusPermaculture based design can be applied locally or globally. To small scale production to large industrial scale farming. It also provides an essential framework for sustainable business models and has produced numerous educational courses available to the public such as the 'Permaculture Design Certificate', 'Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design' and more recently degrees in 'Integrative Ecosocial Design'

What does 'permaculture' mean?
Permaculture is a design system that aims to create sustainable human settlements while imitating natural ecosystems. It promotes practices such as organic gardening, renewable energy, and integrated water management to create productive and resilient systems. Its principles focus on working with nature rather than against it to meet human needs.
What are the advantages of permaculture?
Permaculture is advantageous because it provides for the continuation of all life systems. Without the earth's ability to maintain it's ecological balances, human beings couldn't survive. Second, permaculture provides that human being have a right to those resources they need to survive. And it also calls for the reuse and/or reinvesting surpluses back into the life systems for the continuation of those life systems.

How do you compare and contrast using words and images permaculture hydroponics and aquaponics?
Images are beyond the scope of this forum, however; Permaculture is the over-arching definition of a created, sustainable agricultural system that may or may not contain aquaculture or hydroponics. Aquaculture is technically "the rearing of aquatic animals or the cultivation of aquatic plants for food," however this definition is now inadequate, and has come to mean "the rearing of aquatic food animals in concert with other permaculture practices in a closed, self-sustainable system," the upshot being that the fish water is used as a nutrient for the plants, which filter the water for the fish--although aquatic plants also play a part. Hydroponics is simply the production of food species without the use of soil, by the introduction of nutrients in solution into a growing medium that hosts the food plants' roots. While not generally used in Permaculture, which seeks to amend, maintain, and even create new soil regularly, hydroponics may be accomplished in an organic permaculture scenario also, and there is no reason that aquaponics could not furnish the solution.
