Question: Can a person live self-sustainably with a knowledge of Permaculture?

This is a question about Permaculture. If a person was to do a course in Permaculture, would they be able to get their entire dietry needs from their own garden, or would it require more people/ supplementary bought foods? Could a single person be self-sustainable? i.e. feed themselves and have minimum reliance on income? Would they be able to produce enough food, and enough variety of food?

Thanks.

Answer: Yes, numerous books have been written about it. “5 Acres and Independence” is one dating from the depression era.

The problem is encroachment of governments and entities wanting to tax you for water, rainfall, carbon, etc. For you to go “off grid” completely is something that is doable, and many have, it is that undercurrent of an governmental entitiy wanting control that works against you.
