		<description><![CDATA[Permaculture acknowledges a basic life ethic, which recognises the intrinsic worth of every living thing. It strives to take a benevolent approach, restoring habitat and allowing all things their place. The creation of refuge is one way to achieve this aim and increase yield at the same time.

การเกษตรแบบ permaculture ให้ความสำคัญกับหลักการดำเนินชีวิตแบบเรียบง่ายที่ยอมรับในคุณค่าของทุกชีวิต จากการที่มันเป็นระบบที่เป็นมิตรที่ดีต่อสิ่งแวดล้อมรอบด้าน ในด้านหนึ่งจึงเท่ากับเป็นการฟื้นฟูที่อยู่อาศัยของชีวิตต่าง ๆ ไปด้วย ซึ่งการสร้างที่อยู่ให้ชีวิตเหล่านี้นอกจากจะเป็นทางหนึ่งในการบรรลุจุดประสงค์ดังกล่าวแล้วยังเป็นการช่วยเพิ่มผลผลิตได้ในเวลาเดียวกันด้วย]]></description>
