Thank you Jonathan.

The article goes on to say that the only way it would likely to be adopted was to include biocides and genetically engineered plants. They also talked about it as if there weren't anyone on the planet actually practicing it (except for Wes Jackson) whereas in reality MANY people are. The article even quotes one source saying, “humans have produced food from integrated polycultures for approximately 98.5% of farming history”, but do they see that it continues still? No. The corporations are always looking at these things through very distorted lenses and they generally fuck it up as a result.

Corporate capitalist agribusiness must NOT be conflated with permaculture.
Permaculture is fundamentally an ethical framework based upon Care for the
Earth, Care for People, and Surplus Share; none of which modern capitalist
structures fulfill in slight comparison with what is possible or what is
done in non-capitalist, non-centralized economies like parecons
(parecon.org)

perennial polyculture may be utilized without going through the
organizational modes of permaculturally implied systems.
