Permaculture Association UK

The Permaculture Association is the UK’s leading organization for promoting permaculture design and regenerative agriculture. Based in Leeds, the association connects practitioners, educators, and projects across the United Kingdom, supporting the growth of a community dedicated to ecological design and sustainable land use. Permaculture integrates principles from ecology, traditional agriculture, and systems design to create productive landscapes that minimize waste, maximize biodiversity, and build long-term resilience. The Permaculture Association provides training, resources, and networking opportunities for individuals and organizations working with permaculture principles in gardens, farms, urban spaces, and communities. The association maintains a directory of certified permaculture designers and runs an internationally recognized teacher training program. It also supports research on permaculture systems and contributes to policy discussions on agroecology and sustainable land management. Through annual convergences, online resources, and collaboration with education institutions, the Permaculture Association helps disseminate permaculture knowledge and inspire practical action across the UK.
