The most significant limitation is a lack of knowledge and, therefore, a lack of funding. First, people simply don’t know about permaculture. You can’t implement a system that you don’t know about. Or even if they have, many aren’t sure how to proceed.
When it comes to farmers, many have never heard of a permaculture design and some can be hesitant to try something new. Why fix what ain’t broke? (But isn’t it broken?) Change can mean a lot of work, and uncertainty can be a considerable risk when your livelihood depends on guaranteed success. However, widespread educational efforts are being made by experts and passionate individuals. Permaculture is growing in awareness and popularity and is well on its way to being a household name.
