Beyond just gardening or sustainable living, the integration of permaculture design principles can offer us a surprisingly useful framework for social change. The first of these principles is Observation and Interaction, which like other permaculture principles transcends the agricultural context, offering invaluable insights and methodologies applicable to social change endeavours guided by design and systems thinking. In this episode, I explored the permaculture principle Observe and Interact through a systems and design thinking lens for changemakers, and in subsequent episodes each month throughout 2024 we will explore the other 11 permaculture principles.
