Yvonne and Steve Page produce fruits and vegetables using permaculture methods. In their permanent gardens they grow a variety of crops which they distribute through a variety of channels.
Even insects that can seriously damage crops are welcome in their gardens. As they see it, it is only necessary to limit insect pests and their main tool is a tight focus on a diversity of plant species. By growing multi-purpose plants and companion plants, they help the ecosystem improving soil fertility and plant resistance to disease. They have been farming like this for many years. They achieve good yields and sell their products through direct and indirect channels.
Yvonne and Steve Page recommend to stop the support of industrial agriculture that greatly pollutes the environment. Industrial agriculture uses a lot of energy, water for irrigation, together with pesticides and fertilisers.

Eric Escoffier is one of the authorities on permaculture in France, trainer and consultant, part of “Permaculture without borders” and “Wise hands - permaculture” NGO.
He works with the principles of permaculture. This involves a different way of looking at nature as compared to conventional farming.
The practical application of permaculture emphasises the reuse and recycling of all kinds of (organic) material. In a perfect designed system nothing is regarded as waste or has to be disposed of. No pesticides are used because in the view of Escoffier, pesticides do more harm than good in agriculture, considered as a whole.
