The philosophy behind permaculture is one of working with, rather than against, nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless action; of looking at systems in all their functions, rather than asking only one yield of them; and allowing systems to demonstrate their own evolutions. (Definition via TPRI.)

It's really kinda cool.

Hi,I don't understand why you think the video that uses cows is beautiful when you are against raising animals for food? thanks

Hey, 

There are a few people who contribute to the blog and thousands more who read it, so the content varies (eg the posts about veganic permaculture, vs the video that you mention). I was the one who posted the video, and I’m not against raising animals for food in a respectable, humane and well-planned manner. I believe that animals are worth more than just the meat on their backs, and when integrated into a permaculture system, using perennial polycultures, they can rejuvenate the land and be an asset to the environment rather than a drain on it. 

Other contributors to the blog are vegan though, and may not share my opinion. :)
