Our Story

Permaculture, North America: practical solutions beyond sustainability is an 80 page magazine that will be packed with inspiring articles written by leading experts alongside the readers’ own tips and solutions.

We like to think of Permaculture, North America working as a mycelial network does. Mycelium provides a way for fungi to connect and communicate with each other, offering support, even when they are very far apart. PMNA aims to be precisely that. It is a networking force that connects people and communities across the continent to enable the greater Permaculture Movement to thrive and flourish.

Published quarterly, this pioneering magazine is full of money saving ideas for your home, garden and community. It features thought provoking articles on:
• organic gardening
• food & drink
• renewable technology and green building
• education, health and economics
• transition towns and ecovillages
• personal and community development
• sustainable agriculture and agroforestry
• and much more
