Permaculture still plays a major role for many people who primarily raise ruminants.
Maybe they have food for now,, but can they feed their stock in a drought?
Maybe they have reliable stock ponds, but where does their personal drinking water come from?
Maybe they have hardy animals that do not require shelter, but what do they build their own house out of?
Maybe they will be left alone by their neighbors and the local government. If not, do they have the social principles from permaculture to determine their decisions in how to best interact with that social edge? Or better yet, are they able to prevent the conflict in the first placed?
