About Permatil

THE ORGANIZATION THAT CREATED THE ORIGINAL COMPANION BOOK

The original version of the Permaculture Resource Book was developed

in response to Timor Leste’s immediate agriculture and environmental

concerns. It was created as a contribution to Timor Leste for a sustainable

path for the future. The information for the book was gathered from

5 years of working with farmers and communities in Timor Leste as

well as experiences in other countries, books, and the Internet. It was

developed by Permatil (Permaculture Timor Lorosa’e), an East Timorese

NGO that works towards sustainable development in Timor Leste

through education, advocacy, demonstrations and partnerships with

local Government, NGOs, and community groups.

About the Companion Resource Book

This book is designed to work in conjunction with “A Resource Book

for Permaculture - Solutions for Sustainable Lifestyles’, which has

been developed using simple language and many detailed illustrations

to ensure that the information contained is accessible to all those

interested.
