Integrated Forest Gardening: The Complete Guide to Polycultures and Plant Guilds in Permaculture Systems Quotes

“We have our favorite resources and things we gravitate toward: comfort food, say, or a favorite sentimental blanket. Of course, things change and many times those resources no longer provide us with everything we need. If we are to enjoy a diverse diet, we need diverse sources of information to guide us in making decisions. Valuing diversity in all things helps us build resilience and buffer the extremes.”

“Many times creatively responding to change immediately puts us on the edge of culture and friendships. People who ride the edge are marginalized until others accept the new reality and the new adaptation. Those with diverse points of view who are willing to make changes in their living systems and risk loss of status are crucial pioneers. How else can solution be adapted unless early adopters take the opportunity?”
