    • Geoff Lawton

    • David Holmgren

    • Bill Mollison

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. David Holmgren
    A. Bill Mollison
    Explanation
    David Holmgren and Bill Mollison are considered the originators of Permaculture. Permaculture is a design system that aims to create sustainable and self-sufficient ecosystems. David Holmgren and Bill Mollison developed the concept of Permaculture in the 1970s, with Mollison being credited as the founder and Holmgren as his student and collaborator. They both played a crucial role in defining the principles and practices of Permaculture, which have since been adopted and adapted by people all over the world. Their work has had a significant impact on sustainable agriculture, ecological design, and community resilience.

    You're working on a project in a sub tropical climate in an area with serious erosion issues. To fix the problem, do you plant . . .

    • Lemon grass

    • Elephant grass

    • Vetiver grass

    Correct Answer
    A. Vetiver grass
    Explanation
    Vetiver grass is the correct choice for fixing erosion issues in a sub tropical climate. Vetiver grass has a strong and deep root system that helps in stabilizing soil and preventing erosion. It also helps in retaining water and nutrients in the soil, making it an effective solution for erosion control. Lemon grass and elephant grass do not have the same erosion control capabilities as vetiver grass, making them less suitable options for this specific project.

    You've recently started implementing a small Permaculture design in a dry arid climate. You have a small budget and want to get an appropriate example of Permaculture ideas up and running quickly, do you . . .

    • Build a herb spiral

    • Build a chicken dome

    • Build a raised garden bed

    Correct Answer
    A. Build a chicken dome
    Explanation
    Building a chicken dome would be the most appropriate example of Permaculture ideas in a dry arid climate with a small budget. A chicken dome serves multiple purposes in Permaculture. Chickens can provide eggs, meat, and pest control, while also contributing to soil fertility through their droppings. The dome can be constructed using inexpensive materials like wire mesh and reclaimed materials. It is a quick and efficient way to create a self-sustaining system where chickens can roam freely, forage for insects, and help maintain a healthy garden ecosystem.

    Swales are always part of a good Permaculture design because water is always an essential element.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Swales are not always part of a good Permaculture design because while water is often an essential element in Permaculture, it is not always necessary to incorporate swales. Swales are a specific technique used to manage water flow and prevent erosion, but there are other methods and strategies that can be employed to address water needs in Permaculture designs. Therefore, it is not true that swales are always a part of a good Permaculture design.

    The Permaculture Ethics are

    Correct Answer
    Earth Care
    People Care
    Fair Share
    Explanation
    The Permaculture Ethics consist of three principles: Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share. Earth Care emphasizes the importance of caring for the environment and promoting sustainable practices. People Care focuses on the well-being and empowerment of individuals and communities. Fair Share advocates for the fair distribution of resources and the principle of "taking only what we need." These ethics serve as guiding principles for permaculture practitioners to create sustainable and regenerative systems that respect and benefit both people and the planet.
