I found this podcast quite trite. The problem with agriculture is not really about not having access to knowledge, and this companies work seems like another way to insert western agriculture practices into places where it's not needed.
The real problems in agriculture today come from the principles most farmers use. The issue with crop farmers is the exclusion of animals. The issue with ranchers is the lack of a system mimicking nature, mostly rotational grazing and having large amounts of inputs like feed.
Permaculture teaches the symbiosis of these systems and how to design them, not specific "how to"s. Once agriculture returns to a pulsing, seasonal, local enterprise, it becomes hyper productive. Eg 2x per year sheep run through your vineyard and prune or ducks/chickens being allowed in the garden for a couple hours once a month, following your cattle with sheep and chickens, etc.
