The Permagarden Approach differs from other home garden approaches because it uses a systems design process that engages agroecological principles (building soil health, improving biodiversity, and managing rain and wastewater effectively) to ensure gardens work with and improve upon the environmental conditions present at the site, even in the absence of high-quality land, large amounts of water, or expensive inputs. The Approach is context-specific and farmer-led, which ensures that garden designs are informed by the knowledge, aspirations, and desires of the community members themselves.
