g'day david,

there is this place here in south aus'

http://foodforest.com.au/

don't know that it fits your scale or not they are growing edible
stuff using p/c principals, but it is still marginal land that is
being used for less the habitat which it would serve the community
better as.

permaculture is more a mind set of ideas to look after the planet
better, once commercialism comes into it then profit will over ride.

anyhow the place above was featured on ABC landline last sunday.

permaculture would be all about farming sustainably, that is
supporting a well developed habitat as well as being close to those
who need what you are growing (food miles), it's not that you can
produce something out of very marginal land.
