Responding to evidence in Dixon and Adamson's (2011) “Challenger Sale” that the sales management system employed by most of today's sales organizations failed to detect and respond to significant changes in the sales environment years ago, this research examines the concept of sales system sustainability. Borrowing from the field of eco-science where the concept of sustainability has been largely developed, this theoretical research introduces Holmgren's (2002) permaculture principles to the sales literature and offers a conceptual application of these principles in the context of industrial selling. It posits that application of these principles will aid the sales organization's acquisition, dissemination and application of knowledge, effectively positioning the organization for greater endurance and sustainability going forward. In addition to offering managerial implications throughout, this paper concludes by providing a road map for future research inquiry.

=====Options for Sustainability in Building and Energy: A South African Permaculture Case Study=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1876610215028398 by Elizabeth May Kruger 12/15 ScienceDirect]

Sustainability of human economies and the environments that we inhabit as part of a globalized society have been debated at least since the 1970s, and solutions to the currently destructive effects on the planet of our economies and behaviours have been sought across the spectrum, from government agencies, NGOs, to the private sector and civil society alike. This paper brings to light one case study that provides some clues to opportunities and challenges for sustainability in energy and building from a permaculture project located in a semi-arid permaculture project in the Western Cape province in South Africa, in the context of South African housing and energy policy that recognizes sustainability in principle but in practice still leaves much room for the implementation of sustainability goals.

=====Revisiting sustainable systems and methods in agriculture=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/permaculture by ScienceDirect]

Permaculture is an international movement and ecological design system, focusing on how perennial agricultural systems can imitate natural ecosystems. It is a system of sustainable agriculture in which all the architecture, hydrology, and agriculture components, including people, animals, natural resources, the land, and the wider environment, can coexist permanently (Holmgren, 2018). Permaculture uses a variety of cultivation techniques, based on traditional methods combined with new research results to optimize productivity in the land, water, nutrients, sunlight, and working hours (Krebs and Bach, 2018). In other words, permaculture designers look to ecosystems and seek to incorporate their self-sustaining nature into human environments. The permaculture system aims to reduce the waste of resources and create increased production efficiency. In permaculture system, polyculture and full-time succession planting are used.

=====Permaculture movement found lacking in diversity=====

[https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/06/160608120736.htm by 8/6/16 ScienceDaily]

Permaculture is a grassroots movement whose participants attempt to live in a sustainable way, taking inspiration from natural ecosystems to “live off the land.” For example, permaculture enthusiasts may grow seasonal organic produce fertilized with manure from livestock raised on their own land, rather than bringing in synthetic fertilizers or annual crop seeds from elsewhere. The idea is to rely as much as possible on perennial crops, to recycle and reuse materials, and reduce waste.

=====Effects of Permaculture Practices on Soil Physicochemical Properties and Organic Matter Distribution in Aggregates: A Case Study of the Bec-Hellouin Farm (France)=====

[https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/environmental-science/articles/10.3389/fenvs.2018.00116/full by Felix de Tombeur1 29/10/18 frontiers]

The limitations of conventional agriculture have accelerated the need for a transition to an environmentally and economically sustainable agricultural model. In this regard, the role played by soil organic matter (SOM) is key. Here, we aimed to study the impact of permaculture and biointensive micro-gardening practices, characterized by intensive cultivation, the use of large and localized organic inputs and the non-use of mineral fertilizers and pesticides, on soil physicochemical properties and SOM distribution in aggregate-size fractions. The physicochemical properties of soils in permaculture farming implemented for 7 years were compared with a soil under pasture. A soil experiencing conventional agriculture practices in similar geopedoclimatic conditions was simultaneously studied. Soils were separated into four aggregate-size fractions, into which organic carbon (OC) concentrations have been measured. The major soil physicochemical properties were measured on the bulk soils.

=====Time Bank and Sustainability: The Permaculture Approach=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877042813029194 by Lukáš Válek 10/10/13 ScienceDirect]

The paper aims to find a new approach to include interesting phenomena of time banking (a system of time complementary currency) into the current economy. The time banks have been in existence for almost three decades for now, but their existence is often powered only by good will of enthusiasts and they suffer from the lack of real institutional support. During their existence the time banks proven to be not only very valuable support to local economies, but as well to social development of a society where they are implemented. Basic problem appears to be created by reluctance of national economies to accept time banking concept as viable support to social system or include it directly. It probably looks to be too utopistic and suspiciously not profit-based to be understood by rigid monetary-based economies.

=====Institutional entrepreneurship and permaculture: A practice theory perspective=====

[https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/bse.2708 by Audley Genus 5/1/21 WILEY. Online Library]

Permaculture is a growing but little researched phenomenon emphasising care for the environment, equity, fair treatment of people and working with—and not against—nature. It thus represents a potential alternative to business as usual, capable of addressing fundamental challenges posed by human-made climate change. The paper examines a previously ignored site of entrepreneurship by taking a practice perspective, exploring connections between the practice and growth of permaculture and institutional entrepreneurship. It assesses practice-related and institutional factors affecting the start-up and operation of permaculture enterprises in the United Kingdom. The study maps and surveys UK Permaculture Association members who have started up their own business and reports on qualitative data from personal interviews with twenty of them.

=====From awareness to action: insights from European academics on the integration of permaculture in management education=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1472811725000801 by Florian Ulm 12/25 ScienceDirect]

The study addresses a rather unexplored potential of permaculture, a holistic design system based on sustainable practices, to transform business and management education. It investigates academics’ current levels of knowledge and understanding of permaculture concepts and their willingness to integrate its ethics and design principles into teaching practice. A descriptive survey was conducted among academics in five European countries. Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA, correspondence analysis, and text mining techniques have revealed limited formal knowledge yet strong interest in the integration of permaculture, especially among trained individuals. To address this, a pedagogical intervention is proposed, in the form of a capacity-building programme that fosters permaculture-inspired teaching aligned with key sustainability competencies.

=====Exploring innovation for sustainable agriculture: A systematic case study of permaculture in Nepal=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2405844023031067 by Shubh Pravat Singh Yadav 5/23 ScienceDirect]

As the adverse consequences of the industrial/modern agricultural framework, which encompasses high-input agrarian production and intensive cultivation, are increasing, an alternative is essential. Permaculture is a bunch of sustainable practices that incorporate an assortment of components and promote comprehensive and multi-polycultures including perennial plants, high degrees of biodiversity, crop-animal integration, whole watershed management, and self-sustaining on-site energy production, all of which straightforwardly affect the sustainable approach and promote ecological parameters.

=====A permaculture primer: Using eco-theory to promote knowledge acquisition, dissemination and use in the sales organization=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0019850117302900 by Ronald Jelinek 8/17 ScienceDirect]

Responding to evidence in Dixon and Adamson's (2011) “Challenger Sale” that the sales management system employed by most of today's sales organizations failed to detect and respond to significant changes in the sales environment years ago, this research examines the concept of sales system sustainability.

=====The problem is the solution: Can permaculture management regenerate social economy enterprises?=====

[https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/apce.12278 by Alexandrine Lapoutte 26/6/20 WILEY Online Library]

We consider the degeneration of social economy enterprises (SEEs) and develop a thesis that SEE regeneration may be inspired by living systems. Within the paradigm of living organizations, we propose an approach inspired by permaculture. This study's purpose is to understand how SEEs might apply permaculture principles for their regeneration. We identify the main degeneration issues in SEEs. We then present the permaculture approach through its theoretical background, application to living organizations, and core design principles. Finally, we show how permaculture relates to management models appropriate for alternative organizations, and we underline specific links with degeneration issues in SEEs. We make a theoretical contribution by binding two distinct conversations: permaculture management and SEE degeneration. This work also provides an original framework for future empirical research.

=====UMass Amherst student-led permaculture gardens serve as model for sustainable agriculture=====

[https://phys.org/news/2019-03-umass-amherst-student-led-permaculture-gardens.html#google_vignette by University of Massachusetts Amherst 20/3/19 PHYS ORG]

The Climate Hubs' mission is to develop science-based information and technologies, specific to different regions of the country, that lead to climate-informed decisions. The information helps farmers, ranchers, forest landowners, resource managers and rural communities manage risks associated with climate and weather. UMass Amherst is part of the Northeast Climate Hub, which partnered with the University of Delaware to create the web-based interactive media.

=====The role of permaculture in the integration of indigenous and modern agricultural knowledge: Evidence from Konso, Ethiopia=====

[https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/sd.2483 by Tariku Sagoya Gashute 20/12/22 WILEY Online Library]

The modern and indigenous agricultural knowledge have own strength and deficiencies. The modern agriculture with its technological advents has the capability for boosting production. However, it has environmentally hostile externalities. On the other hand, IK of agriculture is nature friendly and organic in its production. However, it is slow to meet the growing need for food because of demographic stress and emerging preferences. Therefore, both sides need innovative responses to capitalize on their strength and avoid limitations. One of the alternatives is to integrate the two systems. Based on this rationale, this study explored the integrative role of permaculture in bridging indigenous and modern agricultural knowledge. Purposive sampling was applied for the selection of the research area and participants. The research approach followed was qualitative. Interview, FGD and observation were used for data collection.

=====How To Decolonize The Permaculture Movement=====

[https://www.huffpost.com/entry/how-to-decolonize-the-per_b_14501784 by Tobias Roberts 31/1/17 HUFFPOST]

After a good deal of reflection, I want to focus now on how to rescue the permaculture movement; how to save it from some of its most disturbing and troubling tendencies. I believe that permaculture does have a lot to offer to peasant and agrarian communities around the world, so I humbly offer these ideas and suggestions not as a judgement; but rather in the hopes that permaculture can become relevant and practically applicable to the majority of small farmers around the world.

=====How Permaculture Offers a Path to Climate Justice=====

[https://www.counterpunch.org/2021/11/19/how-permaculture-offers-a-path-to-climate-justice/ by Christina Ergas 19/11/21 COUNTERPUNCH]

Permaculture’s three main tenets – caring for the Earth, caring for the people and sharing the surplus – offer a potential path toward climate justice, which is a response to well-researched phenomena that climate change disproportionately harms underprivileged groups in economic, public health and other ways, and solutions to climate change should include adaptation strategies designed specifically for underprivileged groups.I spent time at two communities in the Pacific Northwest and in Cuba during the fieldwork for my book “Surviving Collapse.” I witnessed how the communities worked to cut emissions and adapt to climate change in two ways: with egalitarian social organization and regenerative farming techniques.

=====Permaculture as a Gringo Movement=====

[https://www.huffpost.com/entry/permaculture-as-a-gringo_b_9753212 by Tobias Roberts 27/4/17 HUFFPOST]

I have a friend from Central America who is a diehard advocate for all things organic. He eats organic, grows organic, and dedicates his time to working with small farmers across the region to help them incorporate more environmentally friendly production practices. I once asked him about what inspired the work to which he has dedicated his life. He mentioned first the ancestral agricultural practices of his Mayan ancestors but went on to mention more current sources such as the agroecology movement, biodynamics, traditional organic gardening, amongst others. When I asked him about the permaculture movement however, he laughed scornfully and remarked: "Permaculture isn´t anything but a movement of gringo hippies who are pretending to be farmers."

=====Permaculture Poised to Conquer the Caribbean=====

[https://www.commondreams.org/news/2014/05/23/permaculture-poised-conquer-caribbean by Mark Olalde 23/5/14 Common Dreams]

Erle Rahaman-Noronha is not a revolutionary, not in any radical sense at least. He is not even that exciting. In truth, Rahaman-Noronha is merely a man with a shovel, a small farm, and a big dream. But that dream is poised to conquer the Caribbean.

Rahaman-Noronha wants to see ‘permaculture’ - short for permanent agriculture - take root and spreads across the Caribbean, and he is doing his part by teaching anyone who will listen about its benefits.

=====Young Kenyan Sees Permaculture Seeding Peace=====

[https://www.huffpost.com/entry/young-kenyan-sees-permaculture-seeding-peace_b_7968578 by MEL SELLICK 6/12/17 HUFFPOST]

This was one of the first things Yongo Otieno Wycliffe said to me, peering through a smeared video image with bare, yellowed walls towering behind him. I was impressed by how, at only age 23, his wisdom spoke loudest against the stark background.

=====Permaculture Action Course With Lucidity Festival 2015=====

[https://www.huffpost.com/entry/permaculture-action-cours_b_7022820 by Morena Duwe 8/4/15 HUFFPOST]

In addition to all that Lucidity has to offer, they are also taking part in the educational program, Permaculture Action Course. The permaculture movement is growing quickly and has a very strong presence in the transformational festival community. Permaculture is a type of environmental design that is modeled by the paradigm of natural ecosystems. It boasts sustainability through architecture, habitat and agriculture by utilizing more waste and wasting less. Inspired by The Polish Ambassador's successful "Pushing Through The Pavement Tour," this education program is revolutionizing the way the world lives.

=====Climate Crisis: Permaculture, a road map to climate resilience=====

“Permaculture is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. It is the harmonious integration of landscape and people — providing their food, energy, shelter, and other material and non-material needs in a sustainable way.” Permaculture A Designers Manual by Bill Mollison

=====What the Heck Is Permaculture?=====

[https://www.huffpost.com/entry/what-the-heck-is-permacul_b_323106 by Linda Buzzell 25/5/11 HUFFPOST]

Permaculture is an ecological design system based on deep observation of nature, and can be applied to gardens, farms, landscapes, homes and also to "invisible systems" like communities, economies, societies, our psyches and even our spiritual practices. It's a path towards sustainable living that is patterned on the way nature works, and can be applied in rural, suburban and urban areas.

=====Teen Solidarity Against the Merchants of Death=====

[https://www.counterpunch.org/2018/03/05/teen-solidarity-against-the-merchants-of-death/ by Kathy Kelly 5/3/18 COUNTERPUNCH]

Here in Kabul, as the rising sun begins to warm our chilly rooms, I hear excited laughter from downstairs. Rosemary Morrow, a renowned Australian permaculture expert, has begun teaching thirty-five young students in a month-long course on low-resource farming.

=====The Chemical-Free Food Movement Turning Dusty Land Into Fertile Paradise=====

[https://www.huffpost.com/entry/permaculture-food-sustainable-productive_n_5b8e3618e4b0162f47266755 by John Vidal 5/9/18 HUFFPOST]

Kristof and Stacia Nordin’s 3.7-acre garden outside Lilongwe, in Malawi, is a food forest. Mango trees grow beside tall tamarinds, acacia, guavas, passion fruit and coconut palms. Below them are lemon and orange trees, tomatoes, blackjack, maize, and cassava. The ground is thick with pineapples and watermelon, and decomposing leaves and other plants cover a rich soil growing yams and sweet potatoes.

He eats organic, grows organic, and dedicates his time to working with small farmers across the region to help them incorporate more environmentally friendly production practices. I once asked him about what inspired the work to which he has dedicated his life. He mentioned first the ancestral agricultural practices of his Mayan ancestors but went on to mention more current sources such as the agroecology movement, biodynamics, traditional organic gardening, amongst others. When I asked him about the permaculture movement however, he laughed scornfully and remarked: "Permaculture isn´t anything but a movement of gringo hippies who are pretending to be farmers."

+ Erle Rahaman-Noronha is not a revolutionary, not in any radical sense at least. He is not even that exciting. In truth, Rahaman-Noronha is merely a man with a shovel, a small farm, and a big dream. But that dream is poised to conquer the Caribbean.
+Rahaman-Noronha wants to see ‘permaculture’ - short for permanent agriculture - take root and spreads across the Caribbean, and he is doing his part by teaching anyone who will listen about its benefits.

+ This was one of the first things Yongo Otieno Wycliffe said to me, peering through a smeared video image with bare, yellowed walls towering behind him. I was impressed by how, at only age 23, his wisdom spoke loudest against the stark background.

The permaculture movement is growing quickly and has a very strong presence in the transformational festival community. Permaculture is a type of environmental design that is modeled by the paradigm of natural ecosystems. It boasts sustainability through architecture, habitat and agriculture by utilizing more waste and wasting less. Inspired by The Polish Ambassador's successful "Pushing Through The Pavement Tour," this education program is revolutionizing the way the world lives.

+ “Permaculture is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. It is the harmonious integration of landscape and people — providing their food, energy, shelter, and other material and non-material needs in a sustainable way.”  Permaculture A Designers Manual by Bill Mollison

It's a path towards sustainable living that is patterned on the way nature works, and can be applied in rural, suburban and urban areas.

+ Kristof and Stacia Nordin’s 3.7-acre garden outside Lilongwe, in Malawi, is a food forest. Mango trees grow beside tall tamarinds, acacia, guavas, passion fruit and coconut palms. Below them are lemon and orange trees, tomatoes, blackjack, maize, and cassava. The ground is thick with pineapples and watermelon, and decomposing leaves and other plants cover a rich soil growing yams and sweet potatoes.
