+Permaculture has become quite popular among a subset of western society, many people willing to pay large sums to attend a [[Permaculture Design Course]] (PDC). Some have criticized the movement of being cult-like; attracting only "young dreamy idealists" but not actually having won over mainstream food producers. Very few farmers involved in commercial food production (that is, those who make a living from food production economically, as well as calorically by producing an abundance of food to market to others) consider themselves pure permaculture practitioners or have won the unanimous approval of the permaculture community. This had led to criticisms that permaculture is too radical, guided only by idealistic theory and not practical enough to survive in the real world.
