This is absolutely not for everyone. It's for everyone who wants to grow their own. Commercially produced food is not all that efficient when you consider all the inputs: fuel, machinery, millions of dollars for operation costs, seed -- and outputs: mass amounts of methane, co2, soil depletion.

The principles we employ at Permapeople take into account all of these things, and promote the growing of ones own food without excessive inputs, and positive outputs (food, compost, more living soil for the next generation).

Bringing food production into the hands of people who WANT to participate is what this is about.
