Also agreeing with the whole killing insects for our animals.
We can't just have no effect, we must rejoin evolution.
Oh and your comment "permaculture...will reduce all the species in the world" I hope you are joking. Current culture kills 200 species a day. That kind of culture would (at lowere populations) never extinct any species unless they were singular small species that lived in your back yard. But if we don't grow, then once we have all settled. nothing at all will be exterminated.
However, if you take that damage done on premaculture farm and compare to our culture.
Changing to this way if life will be hard, especially with 6.5 billion people. So one of the major steps is to stop breeding like rabbits.
Lower population, and start living naturally.
It would be better if we could even be hunter/gatherers aswell as it is less damaging. However because of the damage done, there isn't enough for hunter/gathers to exist YET.
If small farms are interspersed with natural areas... along with practices such as allowing fence rows to grow naturally... both humans and other species, could co-exist
to say that we are manipulating evolution is to assume that we are not part of evolution. We are the force, the natural force, that has begun a mass extinction event that could well wipe us out as well. Clearly, assuming that humans will continue to prosper, we will need to investigate deep ecology and other ways of being and/or thinking.
Cool. I was playing around with this software before. Cool stuff. Now onto the topic at hand. Permaculture.
I think anything we do is going to change the world around us. Jane Goodall recognized this when she studied the chimps- that her very presence would change the chimps behavior.
I think, ultimately, it must come down to balance and trying to be the best stewards we can be, leaving the smallest print we can. Of course this is hard with 6+ billion people.
Anyway, at least in the US, we waste so much on our yards and chemcials that it makes a lot of sense to use this space for food. Also, it would reduce some of the runoff and if done well, provide for a more varied ecosystem.

Good luck

Hello, nice to meet you. I really like your style of videos and animation. Is there way u could show your farm this way?
