We have complimentary medicine, a label preferred over alternative medicine
by some practicioners and advocates.
To define a role for permaculture in large scale food production systems we could always rename agriculture
complimentary agriculture or permaculture integrated agriculture to help lead the way toward a more natural form
of farming, one integrated with a farm tract's surroundings, working with it
rather than against it to help develop
a more sustainable form of agriculture, one that produce healthier, higher
quality food, fiber and forage.
[permaculture] complimentary agriculture,
