What is 'stacking functions' in permaculture?

"Stacking functions" is a permaculture design principle where each element in a system is chosen or designed to perform multiple functions. For example, a pond might collect rainwater, act as a habitat for wildlife, moderate temperatures (creating a microclimate), and provide irrigation water. Similarly, a chicken might provide eggs, pest control, weeding, and manure. This maximises efficiency and productivity while reducing the number of elements needed.
