permaculture

[Keith Johnson <keithdj@mindspring.com>]

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.
