“Design for Catastrophe” in Your Livelihood

Become more resilient by preparing for the shit to hit the fan

In the Permaculture Design Course curriculum, a key module is “Design for Catastrophe.”

Put most simply, the aim with permaculture is to deeply consider: “What is vital for the health and well-being of the humans and lifesheds here, now and into the future?” and then use the process of design to put the structures and processes in place towards that aim.
