Thus, the departure from productive permanent systems, where the land is held in common, to annual, commercial agricultures where land is regarded as a commodity involves a departure from a low to a high-energy society, the use of land in an exploitive way, and a demand for external energy sources, mainly provided by the third world. People think I am slightly crazy when I tell them to go home and garden, or not to involve themselves in broadscale mechanized agriculture; but a little thought and reading will convince them that this is, in fact, the solution to many world problems. - Bill Mollison, Permaculture II
