Stress occurs when you force an element to do more functions that it can sustain or force an element to perform just a single function when it would naturally perform more. Think about a chicken in a battery cage; its only function in that system is to lay eggs. Its other natural functions – such as scratching and turning the soil, eating pest insects, providing the soil with nutrients through its droppings – are denied. It is deprived of many parts of its nature and is overloaded with demand for a single function. (The same could be said for a human sitting at a computer in an office cubicle all day.) (permaculture principles).
