The current mono-crop farming practices in the Namibian resettlement farms . there were visited are unsustainable due to soil nutrient, structure and eventually texture destruction. Furthermore, the aridity of Namibia makes crop and livestock farming difficult. Permanent agriculture (permaculture) is a way of living sustainably in the environment and it is proposed as an alternative farming method for the mostly poor and illiterate settlers on resettlement farms. It emphasises self-reliance on basic needs and the creation of artificial ecosystems from which nutrition and infrastructure can be attained in a sustainable manner without exploiting or polluting the environment. Permaculture is not an instant solution but, a long-term sustainable alternative to current agricultural practices in semi-arid and arid areas of Namibia. 2014-11-14T03:51:31Z 2014-11-14T03:51:31Z 1998 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9593 eng application/pdf Department of Environmental and Geographical Science Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
