I recall many years ago reading that the trouble with permaculture is that it sacrafices productivity in favor of sustainability. That put me off the idea. But it seems that was fake news!

Thank you, AshDiane Hunt. I recall many years ago reading that the trouble with permaculture is that it sacrafices productivity in favor of sustainability. That put me off the idea. But it seems that was fake news! Here's an article covering the topic, and it seems credible to me anyway.

It seems that permaculture is not only sustainable, but it is more productive than industrial agriculture. It takes time to implement permaculture so we had best begin the transition sooner rather than later.
