Permaculture, Polyculture, and Guild
What do all these words mean? Let's discuss...
I see permaculture not just as a planting scheme, but a design system that mimics patterns and relationships found in nature. Permaculture attempts to arrange land, water, plants, animals, paths, light, work, and timing so all the pieces augment each other. The goal is over time is to provide less outside input with increased sustainability.
In hierarchy, permaculture is a design philosophy. Polyculture is the practice of growing different species together instead of one crop alone. A guild is a small intentional plant community within one of the above larger systems.
Syntropic agriculture is a type of polyculture that organizes plants by succession, stratification, timing, pruning, and function.
A food forest is another type of polyculture with layered perennials.
