Well, there's tons and tons of potential literature, given the scope of 
permaculture design.  Perhaps a 'bibliography' object can be part of the 
DB at some point...harvest literature references from users!

Maybe their wordlview is simply not one that would enable a functional 
response to this.
In other words, "work where wanted," as Tom Ward says...don't spend time 
trying to fit into grantor paradigms that we simply don't fit into.
Food is (aside from fresh water) our most basic need as living critters. 
 If they don't get that, and don't wonder what all those dense urban 
people are going to eat when fossil fuel factory farming winds down, 
seems like a waste of time pursuing them.
