Design Systems that work with Nature
Coined by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, the word ‘permaculture’ combines ‘permanent’ and ‘agriculture’. At its core, permaculture is a design science for human settlements. It helps us understand how energy, water, waste, people and land interact, and design systems in which each element supports the others. From a balcony to a farm, it guides us from consumption towards production, helping us meet our needs while regenerating the natural systems that sustain us.

Experience permaculture in motion: book a farm tour at Aanandaa and see how once-barren land has become a thriving ecosystem of trees, food, water and wildlife. This transformation is the foundation of our Academy. Backed by 15 years of practical experience and tangible results at Aanandaa Permaculture Farm, our teaching connects design principles with proven practice. Come and discover what regeneration looks like on the ground.
What our Learners Say
"After this course I see permaculture as a complete design system for working with nature rather than against it. Every module challenged me to think differently and gave me practical tools that I will be able to apply to my own farm design. Manisha's ability to simplify complex concepts and back them with real-life examples made the learning both engaging and inspiring. This course has given me the confidence to design with purpose, observe more carefully, and make better decisions."
Tavy A, Chester UK
"The course structure was very well organized — each week included a set of videos to watch along with workbook exercises that helped apply the concepts in a practical way. Manisha is an excellent instructor with deep knowledge and extensive hands-on experience from running her own permaculture farm. I had no prior farming experience, but after completing the course I now feel confident and comfortable starting my own permaculture farm."
Ravi G, Vizag India
