 * Legal and legislative:**
 * Laws relating to the legality of alternative medicine
 * Legislation making it difficult or illegal to have control over land
 * Legislation relating to GMOs, pesticides, herbicides
 * Technological:**
 * Increased information available through technology
 * Permaculture sometimes seems to push away from new technologies
 * As does alternative medicine
 * Economic:**
 * Permaculture offers a way to break from reliance on the large companies who provide food.
 * o If one has a permaculture farm, it is ideally self-sufficient once it is established, which means that the person who runs the farm has food without being reliant on money to acquire it.
 * Some people may only be able to afford alternative forms of medicine and healthcare
 * Some people may not be able to afford alternative forms of medicine and healthcare
 * Social:**
 * Although permaculture is a method, not necessarily a social movement, it brings people together in a social way.


 * Political:**
 * There may be a political divide between those who have gotten rich from conventional agriculture and medicine, and those who wish to bring these things from the power of few, to empower many.
 * Cultural:**
 * More than establishing permanent agriculture, permaculture has grown to also mean permanent culture, meaning establishing more permanent ways of life than current cultures lifestyles may be.
 * Similarly, those who practice alternative medicine probably take their values past healthcare.
 * Natural:**
 * Agriculture is nature based
 * Alternative medicine tends to be plant based.
