According to the associate professor of sociology at the UniversityChristina Ergas, Tennessee, permaculture can reduce the harmful effects of monoculture growing on the environment. Moreover, this is not just a special way of farming, but a full-fledged way of life.
Permaculture has several key principles.It is caring for the Earth, caring for people and sharing the surplus. Accordingly, such use of natural resources will allow them to be evenly distributed among all the inhabitants of the planet. And this will solve another problem that harms the poor as a result of climate change.
The researcher was personally in two similar communitiesin the Pacific Northwest and Cuba. There, people sought to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change through egalitarian social organization (when all members of society are equal) and regenerative agriculture (allows you to restore the natural cycles of the soil).
In addition, as part of permaculture, people usegenerally regenerative methods. These practices aim to keep soils healthy, reduce waste, conserve water, and protect wildlife habitat. More often than not, foods grown this way are rich in nutrients. Sometimes people even get more yield than on industrial farms.
The population of the Earth actually consumes more,than the planet can replenish, and also creates waste faster than it can be absorbed. Therefore, the distribution of surplus among people as a way to limit consumption can be effective.
