A permacultura e as questões ambientais: análise histórica e a implementação prática

Abstract

From the beginning of 1960’s it was noticed a concernment with the environmental questions along with a movement that was going with the behavior of the moment. Many international meetings were realized trying to reach enlightenment and to find solutions over the environmental problems induced by the human being. It is important to highlight that the concernment about natural resources and its fixedness to the new generations was already an addressed topic. However, “Sustainability” and “Environmental Education” were only added in the world leadership vocabulary after of the 60’s. And right after this period that Bill Mollison and his student David Holmgren showed to the world the Permaculture. It is a design to create a sustainable environmental and to promote a socially-equitable development. Starting with a literature review of this topic, the goal of this study is to deliberate and evaluate the relationships of Permaculture, Sustainability and Environmental Education. Also this study tried to implement permacultures actions in a small village in São Gabriel/RS city.
