Permaculture: Principles and Ethics

At Community Foodscapes, we practice Permaculture Ethics and Principles.

ETHICS

The 3 main Ethics are Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share

  • We always strive to use the most sustainably sourced materials/resources and minimize waste
  • We care for our staff, clients, and community beyond traditional business partnerships
  • We pay our staff a living wage, having a sliding scale pricing model to keep services affordable for everyone, and donate a percentage of revenue to local community garden management
