1) Start a research organisation similar to ATTRA but it would be devoted to
Permaculture.
It would give farmers of all scales, information on well proven techniques
for their bio-region. We
would also start a library of research that has been done on techniques such
as alley-cropping
silviculture, mechanical harvesting of perrenial polycultures, agroforestry
etc. These studies
would be made available to farmers in a simplified practical format.
2) The development of a software program that can bring together the
enormous amount of
information that a farmer needs to consider. From this info, the program
could reccomend
how the farmer can minimize their inputs, reccomend remediation strategies
etc. We could napsterize
Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland, Monsanto, etc........ ;)
Whattaya reckon??
