Biggest permaculture literature review ever published (journal)
Permaculture is an agroecological
movement with a broad international distribution and a unique approach
to system design. Despite a high public profile, permaculture has
remained relatively isolated from scientific research. Though the
potential contribution of permaculture to agroecological transition is
great, it is limited by this isolation from science, as well as from
oversimplifying claims, and the lack of a clear definition. Here, we
review scientific and popular permaculture literature. A systematic
review discusses quantitative bibliometric data, including keyword
analysis. A qualitative review identifies and assesses major themes,
proposals, and claims. The manuscript follows a stratified definition of
permaculture as design system, best practice framework, worldview, and
movement.
