Forced Permaculture, an example.

I recently saw an interesting documentary that showed what happens when energy resources are sharply and suddenly reduced and a large population must adapt to the consequnces. However, the example, due to the nature of it's government, is sure to raise discord into this conversation, do I am almost reluctant to discuss it. While the actions of the government in question do have implications for the implementation, I bring this up to show that humans can, and will, adapt.

I haven't found a great link for this film, but these are starting points.

Oh, the story involves the respose of Cuba after the collapse of the USSR and the end of Cuba's cheap oil imports. It's not quite within the parameters of the scenario, but it is still an interesting lesson.
