We are no longer updating the Research Digest. All content remains.
The Permaculture Research Digest has summaries of newly published permaculture-related research. All items are hyper-linked to the original publication.
The 'January 2013' archive contains 60 items published in 2012.
Items marked with a # have restricted public access, although abstracts are freely available.
There
are many different reasons as to why there is such a divide in the
living, social and health standards of Indigenous and non-indigenous
Australians, but one reason however, seems to have had the greatest of
impacts - the loss of traditional land practices. It is only recently
that we have understood the intimate connection between Aboriginals,
land and spirit and the deep understanding that their whole-of-life view
directly contributed to their health and well-being. A fairly new
design principle, permaculture, which
seeks to integrate humans into a sustainable ecology, has the ability to
re-connect Aboriginals to their land and spirit through social
understanding and sustainable techniques and therefore, reconnect
Aboriginals to their natural healthy ecosystem.
