permaculture

["Darrell E. Frey" <defrey@bioshelter.com>]

On a more thorough reading of this I find it a specious and unnecessary 
argument.  Why do they say these things indeed ?

[Why do they say these things. Agroforestry comes under the umbrella of
permaculture. That ought to be obvious.]

*"Which Approach to Use?*

One way to think about the difference between agroforestry and permaculture
is that agroforestry is a discipline and permaculture is a worldview.
*Agroforestry* is a set of scientific practices designed to achieve
financial and environmental goals. *Permaculture* practices are largely
based on environmental observations and ideas about nurturing relationships
between the land and people. *Using one or the other approach when
designing a community food forest will lead to slightly different planning
and management decisions.*

So, what do agroforestry and permaculture look like in a community food
forest? Permaculture can provide vast and growing stores of human energy in
the form of volunteers and project leaders from broad networks. Many people
practice permaculture, and it continues to grow in popularity. Use of
permaculture practices such as forest gardens, water catchment (a piped
water system), and zones and sectors can shape the overall layout and
visual quality of a community food forest.

Agroforestry provides the science that can help with technical design and
maintenance strategies of a food forest project—how to manage combinations
of trees, shrubs, and crops. Some agroforestry researchers are interested
in studying community food"
