Why permaculture should be introduced in classrooms

Why permaculture should be introduced in classrooms

The Hindu
Sunday, March 16, 2025 2:32 AM GMT

Discover how permaculture offers solutions to climate change through Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share principles in education and communities.

Climate change is an urgent reality that we can no longer ignore. Rising global temperatures, unpredictable weather patterns, and environmental degradation threaten our well-being and survival. But, amid these challenges lies a promising solution: permaculture. First introduced in the 1970s by Australians Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, permaculture — a blend of “permanent” and “agriculture” — is not just a farming method but a holistic approach to life, guiding us towards resilience, sustainability, and environmental harmony. Its three core principles — Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share — hold the key to addressing our environmental crises.

The first centres on respecting and working with Nature. By mimicking natural ecosystems, permaculture fosters balance and resilience, ensuring that the Earth’s resources are used wisely and regeneratively. In a world where environmental degradation is common, Earth Care invites us to collaborate with Nature, creating systems that restore and sustain rather than deplete.

Permaculture also emphasises human well-being, advocating for communities that thrive together. It recognises the universal need for food, shelter, and safety and emphasises a shared responsibility to provide them. By focusing on collective well-being, it helps create communities that are not only self-sustaining but also connected through shared values of support and care.

The third encourages us to limit our consumption and redistribute surplus resources. Whether through sharing food, knowledge, or time, Fair Share aims to create a just and equitable system that serves not only people but also animals, insects, and even microbes. It involves sharing the produce and space, such as farmland with all living beings — allowing birds to pick grains, squirrels to enjoy fruits, and microbes to thrive in the soil, rather than harm them. It teaches us that sustainability is not just about abundance, but about mindful, responsible living.

Permaculture is not just a field of study; it is a transformative approach to education. By incorporating permaculture into classrooms, we can empower students to become active participants in shaping a sustainable future.

Fosters hands-on learning: Provides students with the opportunity to design and manage their own sustainable systems, whether through school gardens or water conservation projects. Students gain practical experience in applying sustainability principles.

Critical thinking: Students observe ecosystems, analyse problems, and create innovative solutions thus developing analytical and problem-solving abilities, which are transferable to other areas of life.
