The Permaculture Magazine Prize, established in 2018, recognizes outstanding permaculture projects around the world that demonstrate ecological, social, and economic regeneration. The prize, supported by the Abundant Earth Foundation, also includes a Youth in Permaculture Prize for individuals under the age of 25 who are working to restore the environment.
