[edit good stuff]

Some very interesting references there Brian - particularly Gaviotas,
which I hadn't previously been aware of.

Pitcairn is probably the most fertile environment on the planet - so
the 'biological' aspects of Permaculture, in this case, is not the
issue.

The real issue, is positioning the 'value-proposition' of creating the
world's first 'nation-state model of sustainability' to the
Pitcairners ...without, in the process, indulging in a kind of
ideological imperialism.

The benefits may be self-evident to middle-class, tertiary educated,
New-Age Westerners; perhaps not so obvious to everyone else.

Therein lies the challenge.

If you're interested in visiting the world's most remote inhabited
Island, the following expedition would be the way to go:
