Permaculture is concept in many east or south east Asian countries besides Africa and latin America. It may be pronounce by different name but core hypothesis is based on closed canopy integration through permannent culture in vertical and horizontal spatial arrangement to increase the productivity of the forest area. Though home garden or homestaed concept is also close to permculture but there we do regular cropping in lower strata seasonally with commercial agriculture crops.I am in search of any such studies or examples are in India or Bundelkhand in specific.

@ Debashis, yes you may call it as permaculture as it fulfills the basic principal of permaculture as you are getting a yield, using as a value renewable as we;ll as produce no waste. Moreover, it is a integration not segregation.
