The "Fair Share" ethic of permaculture guides the handling of excess produce. It encourages preservation methods like drying, fermenting, canning, and freezing to extend the harvest. Surplus is also shared with community members, donated to food banks, or processed into value-added products. This avoids waste, strengthens community bonds, and ensures resources are equitably distributed, embodying the principle of "setting limits to consumption and redistribution of surplus."
