I am interested in any work that has been done on how practical and cost
effective a large scale commercial growing operation using permaculture
principles is or might be.

Does anybody know of:

1) Any publicly available study of the potential of large scale
permaculture
2) Any case of a large scale permaculture operation now working or under
construction

Thanks. From the look of their customer list they seem to be in the size
category I am interested in. I wonder if they have published anything on
their overall economics, the inputs they use and the productivity of their
land.

I would love to see such an operation but sadly that's out of the question.
