Syncretic Practice to Applied Scientific Synthesis

Gaia Permaculture is an ecological design and operation system for human symbiogenesis with Gaia. It applies traditional and modern concepts and technologies to human interaction with the planet. It is a ecological design framework for the age of the Anthropocene.  The Gaia Permaculture synthesis scales permaculture practice up from the local - home garden, small and broad scale farm, evo-village and eco-burb, transition town up to larger organisational groups such as bio-regions, states, continents and planetary systems.

Gaia Permaculture is a new synthesis conjoining the ideas and practice of the Gaia Hypothesis, created by James Lovelock, and co-developed with Lyn Margulis, and the ecological design system of Permaculture, as created by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, and developed by many practioners, but especially the creator of the Transition Towns concept, Louis Ronney and popularised by Rob Hopkins. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_Towns

Gaia Permaculture is the application of the principles and practices of the ecological design and management system of Bill Mollison and David Holmgren applied to planet-scale problems such as peak oil, climate change, corporate-malfeasance, global justice. By coordinating the local implementation of sustainable agriculture, appropriate technology, human settlements Gaia Permaculture works from local to global solutions. Gaia Permaculture seeks to work within the natural planetary physiology of the Gaia hypothesis and works counter to high-tech geo-engineering solutions. Gaia Permaculture is based on practical geo-engineering applications such as sequestering carbon pollution in Bio-Char as suggest by Lovelock. 

Gaia Permaculture’s prime directive is to stablise planetary ecosystem design and management so that human permanent culture can be realised. The primary task is the stablisation of atomspheric C02 by sequestration in soil and ecologies and the reduction in emissions via other strategies of the Transition Movement.
