Fern said (permaculture Digest, Vol 55, Issue 4):- Permaculture is a
profession, and as a profession it is best to have a representative body.

Paul Cereghino said (permaculture Digest, Vol 54, Issue 30):- "The
critical step in a movement however is making everyone into designers -- the
path back to stewardship of land -- "

I think Paul's comment here is close to the mark if Permaculture Principles
are to ever pervade & form the basis of a "Permanent" Culture.


Scott Pittman said (permaculture Digest, Vol 54, Issue 34):- "Permaculture
is more a way of relating to the world than it is limiting ones professional
life. It is also a language of design that addresses all aspects of human
endeavour. Perhaps architecture is a garnish on the full plate of
permaculture."

Yes and perhaps overemphasis on the "Professionalization of Permaculture"
will limit the full plate of Permaculture being fully realized as it seems to
be predicated on a belief that Permaculture is something that others can do
for you.
Questions:-

What is the role is envisaged for the "Professionalization of Permaculture"
in the longer term?

Or is it just a transitional thing?
