Taxononomy of the Permaculture Movement

Projects (within CoLab and without) have been doing work for specific audiences in the wider permaculture movement, but there is (to our knowledge) no common language for describing different parts of the Permaculture “movement”.

A taxonomy of (common language to describe) the permaculture movement could facilitate projects and organisations to share ideas, contacts, databases, and a view of who we are working with, and for. It would make it easier for us to communicate, share and collaborate around it, and could make our work more effective.

This is an initial draft of a simple taxonomy, using the principle of designing from patterns to details. It could be enhanced in time to suit the needs of projects and the movement.
