It seems to me that the correct way of formulating this would be to say "permaculture is a total concept that can use natural agriculture, terramechanics, terraforming, local food production, wildscaping etc. " In other words, permaculture is not just another parallel concept to wildscaping, local food production, natural agriculture. Permacultue IS the total concept design system, which may use any number of sub-systems like wildscaping, natural agriculture, terraforming, etc. to achieve its goals. This seems to imply a narrow vision of permaculture as forest gardening with a design manual, or orchard keeping, when in fact permaculture is a total design concept under whose wings the rest of these strategies can rest comfortably and productively.

combine permaculture, natural agriculture, terramechanics and terraforming into a total concept
that includes local food production, wild/forest/landscape/farmscape/permaculture systems design and installation
plus local craft and trade guilds to put a new face on living on the earth in communities or sparsely on farms in in
nearby or remote woodland zones.
