Permaculture Australia

Permaculture International Limited (PIL) (more commonly known as Permaculture Australia) began in 1987 with a focus on publishing the Permaculture International Journal, taking over from Terry White who had published the magazine from the late 1970’s.PA published PIJ for over a decade, until 2000. PA was also established to provide a vital nexus for permaculturists, nationally and internationally, to support each other, share information and promote permaculture through education and information services.PA has evolved as a member-based, democratically controlled national body, with a particular emphasis on operating a charitable hub (Permafund) and supporting Accredited Permaculture Training.
