A call to arms for permaculture research (#journal)
Despite a
paucity of detailed peer reviewed research published on permaculutre and regenerativeagriculture,
there is overwhelming evidence both that the methods work and they may
offer the means to address a number of prevailing environmental
challenges. What is lacking is a proper scientific study, made in hand
with actual development projects. This
article is intended as a call to arms to make serious investment in
researching and actualising these methods on a global scale. Since over half the World's population lives in
cities, it seems likely that strengthening the resilience of these
environments, using urban permaculture, may be a crucial strategy in
achieving a measured descent in our use of energy and other resources,
rather than an abrupt collapse of civilization.
