Results of Phase 3 of the "Designing Food Security" permaculture research project entitled "Edible Landscape: Polyculture and Crop Biodiversity in Permaculture Designs in the Philippines" was presented last Friday, December 6 at the 9th Biodiversity Forum in IBS, UPLB. The study identified 71 crop species present in at least two permaculture sites. In addition to crop biodiversity, permaculture sites also have a diversity of functions and services to offer. The research team found an average of 6 different uses per site with the "vegetable garden" being the standard design feature in all sites.
