樸門永續設計師的工作當中,有一大部分會涉及到社會與文化關係。我在台東的地位於阿美族的聚落居,最近在研究阿美文化的時候,突然有了這層體會,便想運用阿美文化的內涵,進一步發展並重建樸門永續設計解決現今環境問題的能力。我用「重建」(reinstitute)一詞,是因為我深信阿美族在數世紀以前,已經達到樸門設計所追求的境界:尊重大地的各種先天限制。當我目睹耆老在各種不同條件的自然環境當中生存,包括在產季捕撈沿岸海產、上山打獵並收割農作物時,又再度確認了這點。這種可持續的文化在制式的教育體系建立之後慢慢喪失,後來又受到農藥發明、酒精入侵部落和高速公路開通這三重致命的打擊。阿美族每個月至少會損失一名耆老,跟前面三項因素的出現大有關係。以可怕的除草劑巴拉刈為例,這種毒藥已經在世界各地,包括日本、巴布亞紐幾內亞、哥斯大黎加等國,造成上千名意外死亡、自殺和生病的案例。
Much of the work of permaculture designers heavily implicates social and cultural relations. This fact has recently hit home for me as I delve into the Amis culture of our land in Taidong. I am very interested in working with the Amis culture to develop and reinstitute permaculture solutions to current problems. I say “reinstitute,” because I firmly believe that a few centuries ago the Amis culture had already achieved a permaculture that respected the natural limitations of the land. This is reconfirmed when I see elders working across a diverse spectrum to harvest coastal seafood, mountain game, and agricultural crops. Much of this permaculture has been lost mainly due to introduction of institutionalized education, along with the deadly three: pesticides, alcohol, and high-speed roadways, which combined are responsible for killing at least one Amis elder per month. One of the herbicidal culprits is Paraquat, a poison responsible for hundreds of accidental deaths, suicides and illnesses annually in Japan, Papua New Guinea, Costa Rica and other nations around the globe.

上週末我有機會到台中市參加合樸農學市集,是個很棒且開心的體驗。過程中讓我見識到台灣的農夫市集的進展是這麼真切地持續發生中。我本人來自美國以農夫市集著名的威斯康辛州麥迪遜市,因此我見證過農夫市集所能締造驚人的社會、經濟、與健康的利處。
