We are no longer updating the Research Digest. All content remains.
The Permaculture Research Digest has summaries of newly published permaculture-related research. All items are hyper-linked to the original publication.
The 'January 2013' archive contains 60 items published in 2012.
Items marked with a # have restricted public access, although abstracts are freely available.
Every day, we are presented with a range of “sustainable” products and
activities—from “green” cleaning supplies to carbon offsets—but with so
much labeled as “sustainable,” the term has become essentially sustainababble,
at best indicating a practice or product slightly less damaging than
the conventional alternative. Is it time to abandon the concept
altogether, or can we find an accurate way to measure sustainability? If
so, how can we achieve it? And if not, how can we best prepare for the
coming ecological decline?
In the latest edition of Worldwatch Institute’s State of the World series, scientists, policy experts, and thought leaders tackle these questions.
