PERMACULTURE DRYLANDS MAGAZINE - NOW ONLINE!
Founded by Scott Pittman circa 1986, PDJ was (and remains) the only publication in the world with the specific focus on Drylands Permaculture. Published for 11 years (1986 - 1997) by the Permaculture Drylands Institute, operating out of Arizona and New Mexico, this publication has lots to offer to permaculture students even 10 years after its final issue was delivered.
Permaculture Institute has posted most of articles on its website for free public access. Please note, if you would like to reprint any of the articles by the Permaculture Drylands Magazine, you need to contact Permaculture Institute for permission.
