BY LISA DEPIANO:

"Just like we would design a polyculture for our forest gardens that are composed of plants that have beneficial relationships with one another we can use the same logic to create or hone what I am calling social polycultures. I am defining a social polyculture as an intentional working relationship between 2 or more people or organizations to support a given goal. We can use the above example of a permablitz as an example of a social leverage resources and solve complex problems. By working well within an organization and collaborating across disciplines we can create more effective and lasting change."
