Today we take a deeper look at the 11th permaculture design principle: Make The Least Change For The Greatest Effect.
This principle is about economy of effort. When designing a sovereign homestead, we need to make sure that our systems are providing us with not only the right types of yields, but also in sufficient quantity and at a reasonable return to make our continued tending of the system worthwhile.
Living systems that provide for generation after generation exhibit a high degree of economy of effort.
We'll look at how you can analyze your current homestead and lifestyle to identify the leverage points where optimizing your system can produce outsized returns to your quality of life.
We also talk about biasing your interventions and applications of time/energy/money to more "permanent" improvements - things that will require less of your time/energy/money as they mature while increasing in productivity and/or value that will outlive you by a long margin.
