I am interested in any work that has been done on how practical and cost
effective a large scale commercial growing operation using permaculture
principles is or might be.
Does anybody know of:
1) Any publicly available study of the potential of large scale permaculture
2) Any case of a large scale permaculture operation now working or under
construction

Lettuce, tomatos, cucumbers,
You can find the latter two in the ABC landline archives.

As mentioned above.
BTW. "large scale" means having significant impact on the Australian
marke, rather than large scale as in broad acre,

Woops, those are hydroponics.
Real brain fart there.
Tried the Permaculture sites?
Its whole focus is really small scale, although I believe they have
organised a few village size sites in various places OS, such as Africa,
Cuba, etc.
