permaculture,
hugelkultur, permberms, ... There are a lot of definitions related to what boils down to "farming in partnership with nature" . My USA background and schooling (Agriculture Engineering, BS 1970) was in monoculture and animal confinement type farming. 42 years later, I am here to express my strong opinion, based upon my farming
experience, science, and the knowledge that I have learned in that 42 years, that we must and can "farm in partnership with nature" in a more profitable and productive way. There is evidence of this and many examples of this around to world. It is our job as "individuals of integrity" to change our present culture of high
energy input monoculture farming to efficient high production polyculture farming ("farming in partnership with nature"). The building blocks are available to do this. We plan on doing it on our family farm. May I suggest some sources: permies.com, richsoil.com . We all need the help, so we can get this paradigm change made to our world food production systems (garden to farm size). As we all know, we have to vote with our actions to change to these practices and demand our food be produced with these practices ("farming in partnership with nature"). We face strong powers (companies that lack integrity and some government bought politicians that lack integrity). We need to reach critical mass of profitable polyculture operations. Then change will happen fast.
