• How do we combine disciplines within permaculture?
• How do we include non-native species, and discuss natives vs. non-natives with customers?
• Should permaculture be taken mainstream?
• Should we use the word permaculture when discussing these practices with others?
• How do societal institutions impact the opportunity to raise capital and enact change in modern agriculture?
• How can we make permaculture more inclusive, particularly of women and people of color?
