This might be unpopular, but a lot of permaculture advice seems to reject efficiency on principle. Stuff like avoiding simple irrigation setups, refusing annuals, or acting like yields don’t matter as long as the system is “natural.” Meanwhile, people still want food, not just a nice ecosystem vibe.
I get designing for resilience and low inputs. That part makes sense. What I don’t get is why practical shortcuts are treated like cheating.
Is the inefficiency the point, or is this just a culture thing that grew around permaculture over time? Genuinely curious how others square permaculture ideals with actually producing food reliably
