This publication, "Capitalizing on experiences on permaculture in Europe and Central Asia: Review report of implementation, constraints, and opportunities", is the first part of a two part publication. The review report provides an in-depth look at the practice of permaculture in Europe and Central Asia, exploring its ethics and principles, as well as its benefits and application.The publication examines the concept of permaculture, its origin and its comprehensive approach to farming and food production, with diversity being at the heart of the permaculture approach. Multiple functional connections created by diversity make permaculture production similar to self-regulating natural and semi-natural ecosystems. It outlines the ethics of permaculture, which are covered by three pillars and 12 design principles, exploring each principle and the benefits these bring to farmers and food producers. This publication also presents an overview of the implementation of permaculture activities in the region, as well as good practices from selected projects which reflect the multifaceted and multilevel character of the permaculture approach.
