Unless there is a situation where land is a significant load, the yield per m² of such a system should not be the basic criterion! This is the yield per UTH ("how many thousand euros in turnover per UTH"). This is what allows you to pay yourself a salary.
The Sloth Garden (which is not a commercial system, but which I know, so I use this example):
- has only a modest productivity / m², because when we do not outsource a lot of functions (fertilization, fight against the paraistes, tillage) and that we repract them by on derivatives of the oil (fertilizers, pesticides, machinery ...), it is the biomass produced which ensures them! These are the worms, bacteria, mushrooms, that must be fed, which ensures ...
- for me, it is therefore obvious that the "surface yield" is taking a hit; I spoke about my way of doing things, of an extensification ...
- In contrast, in principle, the yield per UTH is, in my case in any case, record! Since I do very little to produce a lot ...
- from this point of view, certain forms of permaculture (or micro-farms based on what is called permaculture), especially when it comes to creating mounds, are systems whose economic viability (in the sense classic = pay yourself a salary) is not guaranteed; the alternative is the use of modern slaves, the trainees; this model is obviously not multipliable on a large scale; this model therefore seems to me "stillborn" my conviction being that in a few years, we will not talk about it any more, past fashion ... Some will have disappeared; the others will have adjusted their model; this is already the case with many MSV market gardeners according to the few videos I have watched ...
