Principle # 8: Integrate Rather than Segregate
Upon observing and educating ourselves about each element in a system, we can better understand where it can be placed in relation to other elements to have the most positive effect. It is with this method that positive and supportive relationships develop, creating more productive outcomes than would otherwise be seen in isolating elements.
Examples: Companion planting, the three sister guild (corn, beans and squash).
