An interesting and useful article. My one gripe is that the author never once uses the word “permaculture” — coined by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in the late 70s as a portmanteau word for “permanent agriculture” or later, “permanent culture,” and now a self-replicating worldwide movement entirely devoted to practicing and propagating a systems-based approach to landscape design and agriculture that emulates natural ecosystems and repairs damaged ones. Permaculture and agroecology are synonyms (along with other terms like “regenerative design.” ) but Mollison and others were first out of the starting gate with a well-developed, coherent, and demonstrably successful schema for the practice of ecological design for human habitat that draws both upon systems science and indigenous wisdom and that has proven successful in all bioregions, from tropical rainforests to deserts to the far north.
