We are all aware of the social and environmental issues that we face. Sustainability has helped us move forward, but it has become an overused buzzword and its meaning has been eroded by greenwashing. We need an inspiring new lens through which to view these issues. This lens is regeneration.

Sustainability was defined as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs”, but we can, and must, do better than that. Regeneration is instead “meeting the needs of the present while improving the ability of future generations to meet their needs”. How do we design systems to be regenerative? Permaculture.

Permaculture is a design process that is based on science, guided by ethics, and inspired by nature to create a flourishing future for all. This design process can guide projects to improve human, ecosystem, and planetary health.

Oasis Farmery provides education, tools, and consulting to help you redesign your property, business, or community into an source of regeneration.
