For developing countries - on a small area it is possbile to manage water and fertility even w/o capital, chemicals, machines etc. That makes it IDEAL for developing countries. Geoff Lawton brought the example of a Melbourne urban gardener he had 60 square meters that is 645 square feet. Highly productive (admitted lots of sun, long growing season). He uses a special pruning technique to cut the fruit trees, to keep them small enough (4 times per year pruning). He was so successful that he was hired by the city as consultant. after the system was set up he needed 2 hours per week (most I guess for harvesting). But that is a rather high input, considering he had many fruit trees and berries (that make little work overall) and it amounts to 2 minutes per week per square meter (10,8 square feet). Geoff Lawton put it that way: 1 square meteris the most productive unit. in that backyard every small spot got a lot of attention, it cannot be the same for a homestead, let alone a farm. So the extra attention and input can produce higher yields per area (if there is good design). W/o machines or fossil fuels.

On the contrary he refuses to be caught up in a "wrestling" match. The media would love some "scandal" and "infighting" to report on. Nope. Not gonna happen. Classy short answer, taking the high road - and then back to the issues. -- now fortunately he has a lot of supporters online he do not have to count in such strategic limitations. Let's the Twitter games begin.
