'...the best known of which is Farmers of Forty Centuries, or Permanent Agriculture in China, Korea, and Japan, which recounted his investigations into what would now be called sustainable agriculture during a nine-month tour of Asia in 1909. He coined in this book the word "permaculture".' [Last sentence added 04:24, 19 October 2006 by User:Cacuija]

- I just searched for "permaculture" in the Guttenberg version of this book and found no occurences. I looked for 'permanent agriculture' in the book and found few references to even that phrase, other than the subtitle and two references to a then-recent book by Cyril G. Hopkins entitled "Soil Fertility and Permanent Agriculture" 1910. Boston, Ginn & Co. 653pp. The wikipedia article on permaculture says the term was a modern coinage. Any evidence that it really was FHK that coined the word? PBarak 20:16, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
