      5 **[[Permacomputing]]** is both a concept and a community of practice
      6 oriented around issues of resilience and regenerativity in computer and
      7 network technology inspired by permaculture.
      8 
      9 There are huge environmental and societal [[issues]] in today's computing,
     10 and Permacomputing specifically wants to challenge them in the same way as
     11 [[permaculture]] challenges industrial agriculture.
     12 
     13 Permacomputing is also a utopian ideal that needs a lot of rethinking,
     14 rebuilding and technical design work to put in practice. This is why a lot
     15 of material on this wiki is highly technical.
