I think this is underrating Permaculture a bit. It IS a system, that can be
used for many Sustainable purposes. The Design section is just one part of
the overall picture.
Permaculture is an adaptation of Peasant agriculture systems, so is
more
than Organic agriculture, as it tends to look at the overall planning of the
integration of systems, & tries to keep systems self sustaining (like a
Forest) as much as possible. (This last point is incredibly hard to develop,
but is an aim.)
