• Sin embargo, la tierra es milagrosa. Es donde los muertos vuelven a la vida. Aquí, en la delgada frontera terrosa entre la roca inanimada y la alfombra verde del planeta, los minerales sin vida se desprenden de las piedras o se descomponen a partir de restos orgánicos. Las plantas y los animales microscópicos se comen estas partículas muertas y las transforman en materia viva. En el suelo, la materia vuelve a cruzar la frontera entre lo vivo y lo muerto; y, como hemos visto, en las fronteras -los bordes- es donde se producen los acontecimientos más interesantes e importantes.

• I’m going to argue here that the most accurate and least muddled way to think of permaculture is as a design approach, and that we are often misdirected by the fact that it fits into a larger philosophy and movement which it supports. But it is not that philosophy or movement. It is a design approach for realizing a new paradigm.
