Permaculture promotes the use of biological resources as a replacement for fossil-fuel based systems. Long term, biological resources can be a long term investment, enabling sustainability for the land.

Using fossil-fueled resources may be ok for the short term, as long as the long term agenda is to create a sustainable system dependent on biological resources.
