Productive systems
AAA secretary Narsanna Koppula said that permaculture is a philosophy and practice which helps people to design and establish productive systems to provide for their food, energy, shelter and other material and non material needs in harmony with nature. It is more relevant to India given the declining water resources, soil health and bio diversity.
