At the heart of permaculture is a commitment to care for people, the earth, and ensure fair share. But how often do we reflect these values in the way we write and communicate?
We’re excited to share a new resource that will help you do just that: Inclusive Writing in Permaculture – A Handbook to Simple and Respectful Communication, generously created by Mayi Lekuona, a permaculture designer, educator, and co-founder of Maïa Permaculture Cooperative.
This beautifully crafted guide is now available for free download in English, French, and Spanish.
Why Inclusive Writing Matters
Inclusive writing is more than choosing the right words. It’s about ensuring that our messages are accessible, respectful, and welcoming to everyone—regardless of their background, abilities, or language skills. In a global community like ours, the way we communicate can either build bridges or unintentionally exclude.
This guide will support you in:
- Writing clearly and avoiding jargon
- Using gender-neutral and bias-free language
- Honouring cultural and linguistic diversity
- Making content accessible and visually clear
- Applying permaculture principles to your communication
It’s practical, easy to follow, and full of actionable advice you can apply immediately.
