Bioregional Permaculture Collective (class)

nature pace layer · 1993–ongoing

lifespan: 300 yrs

Class card for LM-Dawn federated collectives organized around permaculture design, regenerative agriculture, agroecology, and watershed stewardship. Spans: permaculture guilds (Holmgren/Mollison lineage, 1978+), regenerative agriculture networks (Rodale Institute, Savory HM, Gabe Brown no-till), agroecology federations (La Via Campesina 1993+, IPES-Food, GRAIN), watershed stewardship collectives (water catchment cooperatives, acequia associations), and food-sovereignty networks (Landworkers' Alliance, National Young Farmers Coalition). Distinguishing features versus the rewilding-project-network-class peer: (1) explicitly INTENTIONAL new-nature density — permaculture design is structured human-ecological design, not passive rewilding; (2) agricultural productivity is maintained alongside ecological function, creating food-sovereignty outputs absent from pure rewilding; (3) federation substrate is critical — La Via Campesina reaches ~200M farmer-members globally; permaculture design course (PDC) network operates in >150 countries. Common substrate: seed libraries, permaculture design manuals, agroecological science, indigenous farming knowledge. Motor is absent per LM invariant; coordination emerges from shared practice grammar (the PDC curriculum, holistic management grazing charts, keyline design surveys) rather than from telic Progress narrative. Primary outputs: new_nature_density signal (intentional ecological function embedded in productive land), soil-carbon-sequestered [STUB], food-sovereignty-metrics [STUB], seed-varieties-saved [STUB]. All quantitative state-variable values are [EXTRAP]; framing is [CANON-concept] per Wave-0 LM definitions and Wave-6 framework-native-generators §1.4. [CANON-concept; EXTRAP-LM-values]
