With intensive management, an area as small as 1/5 acre can yield enough vegetables to feed one person for one year. Some other factors to keep in mind are crop rotation, fallow years (to restore soil), irrigation and water systems, and access to soil amendments (like compost, manure, and mulch).

Permaculture dictates practice and principles for this profitable business. And shows that, though you might not make millions from a permaculture business, it is entirely possible to make a living, and even make a profit.

Permaculture prioritizes biodiversity, environmental preservation, and soil regeneration while also cultivating crops for community consumption. The practice can improve soil health and sustain ample crop yields within the same plot indefinitely.

Essentially, permaculture is more of a broad philosophy on creating sustainable human habitats and food systems. Regenerative agriculture, on the other hand, is a specific farming style that focuses on improving the soil and creating a closed system where waste from one element is used as food for another.
