If I've only got a short time, I like to talk about the principles and
the process of integration of diversified systems (via zonation, etc.)
to reduce work. I focus on the function of perennials and the
importance of managing water in the system.

Earthworks (keyline, ponds, swales, diversion drains, etc) for erosion
control and water (and fertility) management is my principle emphasis
with farmer clients. Addressing the functions of trees would also be
high on the list.

for a syllabus of the Fundmentals course.
