In 2011, Owen Hablutzel argued that "permaculture has yet to gain a large amount of specific mainstream scientific acceptance," and that "the sensitiveness to being perceived and accepted on scientific terms is motivated in part by a desire for permaculture to expand and become increasingly relevant."
W 2011 Owen Hablutzel powiedział, że „permakultura ma wciąż przed sobą zdobycie uznania ze strony przewodnich środowisk naukowych” (permaculture has yet to gain a large amount of specific mainstream scientific acceptance) oraz, że „potrzeba bycia zaakceptowanymi przez środowiska naukowe bierze się z pragnienia ekspansji permakultury i nabrania większego znaczenia” (the sensitiveness to being perceived and accepted on scientific terms is motivated in part by a desire for Permaculture to expand and become increasingly relevant).
