I think of transformation of products form farms based on permaculture design, Casitas Valley in California is one, they grow food, have livestock and have a creamery, I think they butcher the meat (not sure) and every enterprise is standing by itself followed by different staff I think.
Yes, I agree. If you are not a farmer, maybe find a great way to help the farmers as an income stream (starting a co-op store, for example). Or, maybe you can help those helpers of the farmers (starting a natural-products-only cleaning business to clean the co-op)...Lorenzo Costa wrote:Maybe we could think of systems that function all in a system that creates an alternative economy locally based.
One could have a nursery but not want to sell vegetables. Or have a restaurant and buy from a permaculture farm and think of a menu that is directly designed on permaculture principles.
Or build and sell tools and alternative energy stuff
I guess that sums it up--if the wage-earning is helping to build the local economy--without taking a toll on the citizens or the ecosystem!--I think that it is truly Permaculture-related.Lorenzo Costa wrote:really so much is related but it has to sort of stay in a vision that is related to community building, local economy.
