Sadly, the permaculture approach is seldom applied in the modern agricultural world. In our opinion, this is not due to the principles it is based on or the methods it involves, but to communication problems, misunderstandings and prejudices.
Most farmers see permaculture-based systems as an urban fad which has no relation to practical work, even though it is precisely the farmers themselves who would most benefit from taking on board permaculture ideas. In fact, our approach allows farmers to expand their base, fill niche gaps in the markets, reduce inputs, improve the water and nutrient cycles, and much more.
