Re: research on pc projects needed, 3




  Yes, that is one very important function,.  But I also suggest that bringing the multi-disciplinary tools of Permaculture into the aid agencies could help these go in the direction that they are trying to go, out of the neo-colonialist top-down approach to a facilitative function  of local realitites.
    As to documentation, I would ask what do we actually document in Permaculture
  This is the difficult part, isn't it? 

  In this vein, I thought Sharon´s suggestion really interesting: how many of the total necessities are being furnished by the farm. This kind of survey before and after ( allowing a space of some years!) could be a very interesting way of testing the effectiveness of sustainable farming programs, something that might not be measured by other ouputs,and I would also like to thank her contribution, which was a great insight.
