In this episode, Nicky Schauder of Permaculture Gardens continues the conversation about permaculture and the ins and outs of compost tea with Mary Sketch Bryant, Marian Dalke, and Jeff Ishee. Nicky received two USDA-Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) Producer Grants to specifically research the benefits of compost tea and its effects on plant growth, yield, soil biology diversity, and the stability of soil health. Nicky's research question was does compost tea make certain leafy vegetables grow bigger or not?To read the Permaculture Gardens blog and other resources about soil regeneration, compost tea, permaculture, and growing food yourself, please visit https://www.permaculturegardens.org/Bill Mollison's books Introduction to Permaculture and Permaculture: A Designer's Manual are available online or through your local independent bookstore.

Clea Chandmal and I discuss her journey to and with Permaculture. We discuss her innovative systems in India and her insights into Tropical Permaculture. We explore Tigers, Vashtu and the ethics of Permaculture. Clea shares stories of her time studying and talking with Bill Mollison which for me was one of the highlights of our conversation. Clea will be a instructor in our Permaculture design courses covering tropical landscapes.
David Holmgren is the co-originator of the permaculture concept following publication of Permaculture One, co-authored with Bill Mollison in 1978. David is globally recognised as a leading ecological thinker, teacher, writer and speaker promoting permaculture as a realistic, attractive and powerful alternative to dependent consumerism. David lives at Melliodora in Central Victoria, Australia, on the unceded land of the Djaara People. https://holmgren.com.au/ nutritionwithconfidence.com
"What if the key to saving our planet lies in mimicking nature itself?" Join us on an exploration of permaculture, where we uncover the fascinating history and principles behind this revolutionary approach to sustainable living. From Bill Mollison's diverse and adventurous background to David Holmgren's educational journey, we piece together how their unique experiences and shared vision culminated in the creation of permaculture. Tune in for a captivating look at the origins of permaculture and the key figures who shaped its development. We go beyond the surface to explore the early challenges faced by the permaculture movement, including the complexities of merging ecological ethics with economic viability. Discover how significant events and influential figures contributed to the growth and adoption of permaculture in the United States and globally. Even as the movement expanded, it faced internal conflicts and external criticisms, especially regarding the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge and practices. In our final discussions, we tackle the contentious issues of decolonizing permaculture and ensuring it remains scientifically grounded. We scrutinize the movement's relationship with traditional ecological knowledge, the problematic nature of modernizing ancient practices, and the often tokenistic gestures towards Indigenous communities. By highlighting these critical perspectives, we emphasize the need for a more authentic and respectful approach to sustainable living. Don't miss this thought-provoking episode as we unpack the ethical implications and future directions of the permaculture movement.

When Jim Gale was 19, his college wrestling coach asked everyone to write down their goals. Jim wrote down his goals based on what he'd learned from Dennis Waitley in his book, “The Psychology of Winning: Ten Qualities of a Total Winner.” Jim wanted to be a three-time All-American wrestler and a national champion. Jim had experienced the feeling of living with those goals. He knew he'd achieve them. Four years later, he was a four-time All-American wrestler and a national champion inducted into the hall of fame. After college, Jim traveled the world, spending the entire time writing and researching what was possible for his future. Jim decided he wanted to retire in three years. He went to work for a mortgage company at 100% commission. He jumped from company to company. But something was missing. So Jim started his own company and did $1.3 billion in gross revenue in 3.5 years. He got sick of the industry and bought a boat. After indulging in a year of oceanic bliss aboard his boat, Jim's path led him to Costa Rica, where he discovered permaculture and realized its potential to revolutionize our lives. Bill Mollison, one of the founders of permaculture, said “Though the problems of our world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple.” Jim became obsessed with asking the question, “How do we change the world? How do we help the world learn to use their resources wisely?” With a vision to bring permaculture to every household on the planet, Jim founded Food Forest Abundance. They empower individuals to create their own self-sustaining ecosystems through innovative techniques and a commitment to education. Food Forest Abundance is redefining the way we grow and consume food. Listen in for some great takeaways about creating and living a sustainable life by design.

In this episode host Peterson Toscano guides us through an exploration of the role forests play in addressing the causes and impacts of climate change, both in urban and rural settings. Six guests provide personal narratives, expert insights, and actionable strategies that will inform and inspire climate advocates. This episode also delves into Pennsylvania's rich forest history, from its old-growth forests to modern-day conservation efforts, highlighting the legacy of sustainable stewardship by its original inhabitants. Toscano notes, "PA has a legacy of being one of the more heavily-wooded states in the USA... But If you walk through the over 15 million acres of forests in Pennsylvania, only 1% of that is original old growth forest." This fact highlights the dramatic changes our landscapes have undergone and the need for renewed focus on forest conservation. Creating a Campus Food Forest If you want to make a difference on your own campus or in your community, students at Allegheny college have an answer for you. A Food Forest. Ashlynn Peachey, Nicholas Waddington, and Katie Mallory, students at Allegheny College talk about their pioneering Food Forest project. Ashlynn Peachey: "It really started when one student years ago came to Allegheny College with a passion for permaculture... We like to look around the college landscape and see, not what it is, but what it can be." That student, Sebastian McRae, helped to found a campus Sustainable Design Team. Nicholas Waddington, describes their project: "A food forest is a diverse planting... it provides a lot of climate and ecosystem services." He emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between different plant species and their collective role in enhancing ecosystem health. It was at the Northeast Student Farmer Conference held at Penn State University that CCR host, Peterson Toscano attended the students' breakout group about their successes in building campus support for the Food Forest. During the presentation they explain the steps they took to engage stakeholders, to design the Food Forest and to follow through once the project was approved. Their story is a testament to the power of collaborative efforts and the importance of gaining community support. Nicholas Waddington: "From our combined years of engagement with this project, we've really taken away that climate and campus resilience is hugely community-driven... We're stronger and more productive when we work together." In this episode you will learn about sustainable agriculture and permaculture, (a word Bill Mollison coined,) and how you can replicate their success on your own campus or community. Raising the Awareness of a Healthy Forest Sustainability Legacy and our Responsibility Today Former forester and coal miner, Van Wagner, now teaches Agriculture Science at the Area High School in Danville, Pennsylvania. He is also a singer/songwriter and storyteller. Van Wagner offers a historical perspective, emphasizing the longevity of sustainable practices. "I laugh when I read in my textbook, and in the textbook it says that the environmental movement began in 1970 with the first Earth Day... That's not when it started. My German ancestors here in the Susquehanna River Valley, they knew about sustainability, you didn't ruin the family farm, you didn't cut all the trees down." -Van Wagner In order to increase efforts to maintain and protect forests in the US Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Van has committed himself to visiting the highest point in the 67 counties and climbing the tallest tree he can find. Van explains, I'm trying to get the press's attention. And when they stick a microphone in my face, I talk about trees and forestry.” You can follow his progress on the site Van Wagner Highest Climbs. Also, see him climbing in videos on his YouTube channel. Expanding the Legacy of Tree Growing in Small Country Towns and Big Cities Forests and Climate Change: Urban Renewal and Rural Stewardship Taylor Lightman grew up in the Borough of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, (population 5232) “a delightfully cozy little town nestled on the banks, the Susquehanna River, one of the oldest river valleys in the world, older than the Nile.” He then went to college in Northfield, Minnesota and then to grad school in Lund, Sweden where he completed a Master's in disaster risk management and climate change adaptation. Today Taylor is the program Manager for Lewisburg Neighborhoods. He says, “I'm trying to figure out a way to do climate smart neighborhood revitalization. I think there's no better place to do that than in one's hometown” In this episode Taylor talks about the importance of growing trees in towns and cities. "Trees are doing a lot of things for us. Streets with trees on them, the shops do better...people are driving on streets and roads with trees, they behave less aggressively too." His insights reveal the extensive benefits of urban trees beyond just environmental impact. Nerd Corner Dana Nuccitelli considers the question: what are the different ways we would benefit from planting more trees in cities and towns? This question is critical to CCLs healthy forest policy area. In regards to addressing the causes of climate change, Dana says, "Planting more urban trees in the U.S. has the potential to capture up to 100 million tons of carbon dioxide pollution per year." But wait there's more! Urban tree planting offers multifaceted benefits, enhancing climate resilience, physical and mental health, and fostering active lifestyles and community well-being. And there is important work for us to do. Dana says, "But while people in communities with more trees live longer, happier, healthier lives on average, America has a tree inequity problem. Communities of color have 33% less tree canopy on average than majority white communities." To learn more Dana encourages you to visit Check TreeEquityScore.org to see where tree planting would be the most effective in your community to remedy this tree inequity problem.

I heard a great quote that went something like this: when you're a child, you think your parents are gods. When you become an adolescent, you realize they're human. When you become an adult, you forgive them for being human. When you become wise, you forgive yourself for being human. My guest for this episode is Nick Dugmore. Nick is a winemaker in South Australia for his winery The Stoke. Nick listened to the episode I recorded with Jeff Lowenfels about the soil microbiome, and he's been traveling down the regenerative viticulture rabbit hole ever since. In 2023 he was named Australia's Young Gun of Wine, and then four months ago he was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer. He's 39 years old. When you hear Nick's positivity, humor, and joy, keep in mind that he's in the midst of the following treatment schedule: 5 x 3 week rounds of chemotherapy with 1 week of intravenous followed by 112 tablets over two weeks and then a week break. Then 6 weeks of radiotherapy which is 5 days a week at the hospital for 45 mins. Then a 3 month break and then surgery to remove what's left. We talk frankly about his cancer and the fact that his alcohol consumption may have contributed to it. Yet Nick is incredibly grateful to work in wine, and he loves the winemaking community. Both Nick and I can thank wine for the most important relationships in our lives – our spouses. But if his cancer was caused by alcohol, there's a chance that alcohol could take his life. Both are parts of wine, and there are many more. Nick talks about the wine community that has come to his aid, and he talks about the spirituality of wine, and the beauty of Kangaroo Island where he converted 12 acres of conventional vineyard to a thriving regenerative ecosystem. He makes some profound connections between soil health, physical health, and mental health. And at least twice he mentions how busy we all are, and how this leads us to make thoughtless decisions… because we don't have the time to be thoughtful. It reminds me of the famous quote from Bill Mollison's Permaculture Designers Manual: "The philosophy behind permaculture is one of working with, rather than against, nature, of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless action." As I think about regenerating wine, Nick has made me think about how important time is. The speed of our lives is completely antithetical to the complexity of life. Look how patiently nature grows an ecosystem, look how it builds complexity and diversity layer by layer over centuries. I want to make wine this way. I want to think about wine this way, and let this perspective inform the decisions I make for this vintage. I want to stop rushing to buy things when I don't know where they came from or how they were made. I want to take the time to observe and learn about complex things carefully. I want to take the time to be grateful. If you're moved by Nick's story, he mentions a go-fund me campaign that his wine community set up for him and his family, and you can link to that here. https://stokewines.au/ Support this episode by subscribing via patreon.

On this episode, Nate is joined by ‘permaculture' author and educator David Holmgren to discuss his experience within the movement and what it might look like for more systems to be designed using permaculture in the future. While often thought to be an agricultural tool, permaculture thinking is meant for designing human systems to be embedded in nature - an important principle for a future where societies will need to re-synchronize with natural flows. What does it mean for permaculture design to ‘scale up', and how is it different from how we usually think about growing a system? How will permaculture design change as we move through different phases of resource availability? More importantly, how can the ‘small and slow' foundation of permaculture help human societies adapt to a lower throughput future as we navigate The Great Simplification? About David Holmgren David Holmgren is best known as the co-originator of permaculture. In 1978, he and Bill Mollison published Permaculture One, starting the global permaculture movement. Since then, David has developed three properties, consulted and supervised on urban and rural projects, written eight more books, and presented lectures, workshops and courses in Australia and around the world. His writings over those three decades span a diversity of subjects and issues, whilst always illuminating aspects of permaculture thinking and living.

In this episode we're joined by David Holmgren to discuss the past 50 years of permaculture and some of his thoughts on its evolution. We dive into some of the uncomfortable subjects of native habitat loss, invasive species, land back, indigenous sovereignty, the PDC structure, permaculture at scale, among other things in what I hope will be an incredibly insightful conversation for listeners curious to dive into these subjects. David Holmgren is an Australian environmental designer, ecological educator and writer. He is best known as one of the co-originators of the permaculture concept with Bill Mollison. He still actively manages Melliodora Farm, a 2.5 acre permaculture homestead, writes extensively, and offers training on his homestead.

Have you ever noticed that you flush your toilet with the same water that come out of your tap? Have you ever wondered why you pay someone to take away yard waste and then pay for fertilizer? Have you ever wanted to not water your yard so much? Then this episode is especially for you. "The problem is the solution" is a simple conceptual phrase coined by Bill Mollison, the Australian co-creator of the modern Permaculture movement. Often if we take the time to think about it our natural resource problems can often be solutions, either to the problem itself or to another problem that we have. Still confused? Hopefully we explain it a little better in the episode! We also discuss why this concept is important and relevant for natural resource conservation.

How do we tend to land and culture at the same time?This episode was a conversation of hope for me, exploring the concept and practice social forestry with Tomi Hazel Vaarde - everything from ancient indigenous knowledge to stories of forests. Also Tomi reflects on design - avoiding it being an imposition, but something that emerges from connection with place and community - an incredibly important distinction for a permaculture designer. Social forestry is the Tomi's big picture thinking, their frame of reference for engaging in local and bioregional restoration. "Social forestry is tending the land as people of place. How do we cooperate with each other to do useful things in these places? It's always site specific, and it's always culturally specific."Tomi Hazel Vaarde is a long-term resident of Southern Oregon and is deeply situated in place and permaculture. He's a prolific permaculturist - advising farms, stewarding forests and teaching environmental sciences for more than 50 years, even helping Bill Mollison in the first PDC on the West Coast.Tomi's latest book (published April 2023) is Social Forestry: Tending the Land as People and Place - an acclaimed guide of practical placemaking advice and ancient lore - a must-have for anyone wanting to have a reciprocating relationship with their communities, themselves, and most importantly their awe-inspiring forests and landscapes. In this conversation, we also discuss this book and the many projects that have informed its emergence.Enjoy!This podcast is an initiative of the Permaculture Education Institute.Our way of sharing our love for this planet and for life, is by teaching permaculture teachers who are locally adapting this around the world - finding ways to apply the planet care ethics of earth care, people care and fair share.

Permaculture is a design science for creating regenerative landscapes. In rewilding, we often perceive it as a kind of technology based on ancient hunter-gatherer-horticultural subsistence strategies from around the world. While there are many valuable criticisms about permaculture (just as there are about rewilding), it is still one of the most effective tools for creating alternative subsistence strategies to the extractive ones that dominate our world today. To understand how far we've come, we need to listen to the elders of the movement and hear all they have endured and accomplished to get us where we are today. Hazel Varrde is one such elder for me, and the rewilding community.Hazel began gardening around age five. They earned degrees in Forestry and Systematic Botany from Syracuse University and SUNY College of Forestry in 1969. Hazel taught Wild Edible Plants and Woods-lore at Laney College in Oakland CA in the early 70's and helped Bill Mollison teach the first Permaculture Design Course at Evergreen State College in 1982. Hazel has taught various Permaculture courses ever since, becoming a notorious teacher and proponent of social forestry. I first met Hazel in 2009 during my Permaculture Design Certificate course with Toby Hemenway. Hazel was the only guest teacher in the class who seemed to share my vision of a rewilded future, and I knew that I needed to go and learn from them directly. I took their Social Forestry class in 2015, and then came back as a guest teacher the following year. I've since continued to practice various forms of social forestry, while sending many people their way. Land tending is an integral part of rewilding, and social forestry is an inspiring model for us to use. Hazel has finally finished their book on Social Forestry, and you can pre-order it now. I am happy to help get the word out.NotesSocial Forestry by Tomi Hazel VaardeSiskiyou PermacultureMentionsPlaying with Fire: Social Forestry with Hazel by Peter Michael BauerSupport the show

For nearly 40 years, Rosemary's work as a teacher has brought permaculture directly into the lives of her thousands of students. As an author, she has touched innumerably more. As her students became teachers and other teachers used her works in their classrooms, her ideas and methods continue to ripple through the world and reach even more. With this reach, her work touched has touched my own, first as a student, through her book Earth User's Guide to Permaculture, and later as an instructor, when I used that book as one of the student texts for the course paired with the companion book to that, Earth User's Guide to Teaching Permaculture. Now, we celebrate Rowe's newest book, from Melliodora Publishing, Earth Restorer's Guide to Permaculture, with a series of conversations covering her thoughts on the breadth of permaculture as a practice, interwoven with stories from throughout her journey. To start things off, I knew a lot about Rowe's writings, but not about her early life, how she came to permaculture or her career as a teacher and author. So, we begin where so many interviews do on The Permaculture Podcast, with a conversation about her biography and background, which includes some insights into the development and growth of permaculture over the years, the kinds of character and teacher Bill Mollison was, and how Rowe reframes permaculture education into a local, lived experience, whether she's teaching in Australia, Vietnam, or Cambodia.

Lupa is a strong advocate for connecting with animal or plant totems as allies to enhance our spiritual life and help us reconnect with nature. They can provide a “bridge” between us and the rest of the natural world. She cautions us to understand that totems, whether they be animal, plants, or fungi, are not simple one-dimensional helpers limited to stereotyped meanings from dictionaries. They are vibrant, intelligent, dynamic beings sharing the world with us as much as anyone else, and while we may have forgotten what it is to be in nature's community, they have not. Lupa is a neo-shaman, artist and sustainability geek. She has been working with animal magic for more than 20 years and has developed a self-created and spirit-directed neoshamanic path. She possesses a master's degree in counseling psychology with an emphasis on eco-psychology. Her books include New Paths to Animal Totems: Three Alternative Approaches to Creating Your Own Totemism (Llewellyn 2012), Plant and Fungus Totems: Connect with Spirits of Field, Forest, and Garden (Llewellyn 2014) and Nature Spirituality from the Ground Up: Connect with Totems in Your Ecosystem (Llewellyn 2016) Interview Date: 2/16/2016 Tags: Lupa, ecosystems, watershed, bioregion, totem, totems, hard fascination, soft fascination, totemism, water, rivers, grey wolf, Yellowstone Park, Never Cry Wolf, fungi, plant blindness, The Private Life of Plants, David Attenborough, Bill Mollison, trees, practice of place, practice of action, practice of celebration.

What is Permaculture and Why it Matters to You? Rob dives into this question this morning and provides some context for why he's chosen this question today. Today Rob talks *freely* about Permaculture - to simply get the gears grinding about Permaculture...in preparation for a more in depth episode later. Gain some insight about Permaculture and hear Rob talk about it in a broad sense. Learn why he finds it appealing...in large part because of the personal responsibility that is required to truly execute upon permaculture principles in one's life. You will also learn how and why Permaculture entered Rob's life 10 years ago, how it EXITED his life...what he's doing and how he's welcoming it back into his life after a secondary burnout several years ago.

What is permaculture?When we started our eco village in 1987, we also took on the practice of permaculture as the discipline around the use of land here. Permaculture was inventing in the seventies by two Australians David Holmgren and Bill Mollison. When we designed the products for ecostore back in the early nineties, permaculture was the bar we were always trying to meet There are many principles in permaculture but I will share some of my favourites that we all can use in our homes: Nature doesn't have a handy gardener coming along fixing up things that can't look after themselves so when you set up systems always try to have them look after themselves Being a gardener can easily become a ‘make work' situation, so how can we get rid of some of those jobs? A classic example is that nature never tolerates bare dirt. So adding mulch not only keeps out weeds and traps moisture but as it decomposes it adds food to your plants. Another example is the zoning system permaculture uses. Zone 1 is plants you visit every day whilst through to zone 5 maybe visited annually. Thus, the herb beds should be just by the kitchen door, the salad garden also close. But in my case, the forest we have planted for future timber use is zone 5, about 20 minutes' walk away. Choose plants that really suit your local ecosystem - I like to think of this as discovering useful weeds. Silverbeet is a great example, wack it in and it almost looks after itself. The way to find these plants is to talk to your local garden clubs about what plants they have found with these qualities. When you grow a crop, the plant that is healthiest, don't harvest but let it go to seed and plant these seeds next year. After a few years of using this technique, you will have developed your own variety that loves the local ecosystem where you live. When I arrived at the land where we founded the eco village it was covered in kikuyu grass. Very virulent and a terrible neighbour for vege garden or young trees. Everyone said to use roundup, which I wasn't prepared to do. Now grass is one of the world's only monocultures as it has many ways of driving out competitors including poisoning them and taking away their moisture. In fact, I never use grass in an orchard situation for these reasons and end up with unstressed disease-free trees. But the grasses have an ancient enemy. The pioneer tree which has evolved just to get into grass, grow tall, then shade out the grass so others trees can then come in. In NZ this is the Manuka and Kanuka. The bane of grass farmers.

Ocean regeneration is a rapidly emerging & fascinating area of the regenerative revolution, and in this episode we explore the challenge and the opportunity being taken on by the Climate Foundation, led by Dr. Brian Van Herzen. Together with an international team of scientists, engineers, technicians, social scientists & seaweed farmers, Dr. Van Herzen and his team are working to regenerate thousands of kilometers of lost kelp forest, protect coral reefs, and provide food security for millions of people. Their simple, thoughtfully designed approach involves floating marine permaculture arrays consisting of seaweed/kelp scaffolding and a wave driven or marine solar pump to re-start the natural upwelling that's been disrupted due to heating of the oceans. This is a fascinating and hopeful discussion highlighting a rapidly growing movement and sustainable industry! We learned a ton and know you will too.

Show notes: What the current situation in the ocean is & why it needs to be regenerated: Over 90% of global warming has gone into the oceans, which has led to the top layer of ocean water heating up. This prevents natural upwelling, which was one of the major causes of the Permian mass extinction 250 million years ago. By restoring natural upwelling, we make it so kelp, seaweed forests, and coral reefs can stay alive. Bill Mollison's inspiration for permaculture originally came from observing kelp forests off the coast of Tasmania in the 60s!

Fill out this form to receive free trees and planting support as well as a consultation call with Oliver I've had the privilege of being able to travel to many places around the world to design and manage projects for organizations and clients, and the one constant that I find whether it's getting a natural home off the ground, planning an agroforestry plantation, or even remotely consulting with someone on their dream project, is that the community element is the most often overlooked. Time and time again I've seen projects stall or move backwards because they think they just don't have the monetary or material resources to continue, when in fact it's their social capital which is lacking. On the other side I've seen the power of collaboration overcome shortages of money and institutional support as neighbors and friends offer their creativity, expertise, or even just emotional support to get past the inevitable hurdles that come up. Despite this, there are far fewer resources and courses in the regenerative fields on how to build social capital, involve and connect your community, or how to apply the patterns of nature to organize people and our institutions. So today I want to kick off this series by going to the source of permaculture study by speaking to the co-originator of permaculture, David Holmgren. Back In 1978, he and Bill Mollison published Permaculture One, starting the global permaculture movement. Since then, David has developed three properties, consulted and supervised on urban and rural projects, written eight more books, and presented lectures, workshops and courses in Australia and around the world. His writings over those three decades span a diversity of subjects and issues, whilst always illuminating aspects of permaculture thinking and living. While there are endless things I could ask David about, In this interview we focus on his newest book, RetroSuburbia: the downshifter's guide to a resilient future, his 592-page manual showing how Australians can downshift and retrofit their homes, gardens and selves for resilience into an uncertain future. We talk about why he chose to focus on the suburbs when many people are now looking to abandon them and move to more rural areas. We explore the potential that there is in retrofitting the infrastructure of peri urban environments that were poorly designed and the source of much wasteful energy and material use. This is a wide ranging conversation that explores the evolution of permaculture, various cohabitation arrangements, getting around strict regulations, and much more.

According to the 2019 documentary, The Need to Grow, industrial agriculture is now the most destructive human activity taking place on the planet. The United Nations estimates that at current depletion rates, we have fewer than 60 years of soil left on Earth due to these activities. This week's How To Die Happy podcast guest is American chef Evan Rilling, who's on a mission to change people's relationship with food and the land from which it comes. Former chef to Will Smith and his family, Evan is a prolific proponent for permaculture farming. He invites us to consider what we are consuming, its provenance, and what farming and manufacturing methods are used to grow and create the food we eat. Permaculture farming is a contrasting sustainable model to mono-crop agriculture. Bill Mollison is renowned as the Godfather of permaculture, a system that integrates land, people and the environment through natural synergies – recreating the zero-waste, closed-loop systems found in nature. Permaculture is a multidisciplinary practice that includes construction, agriculture, energy, forestry, water, waste management, animal management and much more. The entire process is guided by principles that all permaculture designers need to follow. The 12 principles of permaculture are: Observe and interact Catch and store energy Obtain a yield Apply self-regulation and feedback Use and value renewables Produce no waste Design from patterns to details Integrate don't segregate Use small, slow solutions Use and value diversity Use edges and value the marginal Creatively use and respond to change Evan and his friend Maggie co-founded Ulu Food Forest. The project is a community permaculture garden in Bali, which aims to create a new system that restores degenerated land, regenerates the natural ecosystems, and grows forest-based sustainable businesses that honour the Earth and local people. The project invites volunteers to give their time to the garden in exchange for learning valuable lessons about permaculture design. Aside from some surprising yet welcome spontaneous rapping, Martin, Jules, and Evan also discussed travelling, surfing, our fundamental relationship with food and the planet, and Evan's stunning new cookbook, RetrEAT. Perhaps you're interested in permaculture farming, or maybe you're keen to grow your own food or at least grow your own veg? In which case, you'll likely enjoy our interview with the wonderfully happy, incredibly tall surfing, rapping chef, Evan Rilling. As usual, this interview seamlessly rolls between seriousness and fun while sharing stories and practical utilities for the arts of living & dying well. After all, what we consume profoundly affects our mind, body, and soul. Postscript note: During the interview, Martin mentions a man in South Central, LA, but can not recall his name. The Gangsta Gardener's name is Ron Finlay, and you can find out more about his wonderful man and his project here. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/howtodiehappy/message

David Holmgren is best known as the co-originator with Bill Mollison of the permaculture concept following the publication of Permaculture One in 1978. Since then he has developed three properties, consulted and supervised in urban and rural projects and presented lectures, workshops and courses at a wide variety of events and venues in Australia and around the world. His writings over those three decades span a diversity of subjects and issues but always illuminating another aspect of permaculture thinking.Today we discuss: -Our mutual concerns about the increasing normalisation of censorship in a post-covid world -The strange polarity flips between conventional political positions ...and a little bit about permacultureDavid's WebsiteBYRON JOEL'S WORK IN REGENERATIVE AGRICULTUREwww.oaktreedesigns.com.auBYRON'S MUSIC ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In today's interview, the first in a two-part series, my friend and colleague Dan Palmer of Making Permaculture Stronger, gives me a sense of vicarious joy to share with you, as he's done something that's on my list of dream podcast experiences. Dan sits down face-to-face with David Holmgren at Melliodora and together they have a conversation about the early history of permaculture. From David's lips to our ears we hear the first-hand account of his days at university, meeting Bill Mollison and their initial work together, to the impact of David's second permaculture mentor Haikai Tane.
Bill Mollison, the “Father of Permaculture,” has truly left the world a better place than he found it. As co-founder of the system of Permaculture with David Holmgren , he created a holistic design system that emulates systems that exist in Nature to create sustainable human settlements and food production systems which integrate harmoniously with the natural environment. Bill developed the Permaculture Institute and a formalized system for training Permaculture practitioners. His pioneering work had a broad and far-reaching global influence, directly impacted hundreds of thousands of lives, and indirectly affecting many millions more worldwide in a profound and positive way.Learn more about Bill Mollison, watch the videos and read the show notes on this episode here >This is most likely the first of many episodes to share about Bill Mollison in his amazing video series, 'Global Gardener'. Global Gardener is a documentary film series about the permaculture approach to sustainable agriculture. Bill Mollison presents the series' four episodes—"In the Tropics", "Dry Lands", "Cool Climates", and "Urban"—each of which addresses the application of permaculture principles in a different environmental context. I highly encourage you to watch all the videos, but here is the audio to learn from Bill's wisdom while in your garden or hammock - where the permaculture designer becomes a recliner ;) I will now let Bill speak for himself with a few of my favorite quotes...“The impetus for the work I do is to leave our children gardens, not deserts.” – Bill Mollison “Sitting at our back doorsteps, all we need to live a good life lies about us. Sun, wind, people, buildings, stones, sea, birds and plants surround us. Cooperation with all these things brings harmony, opposition to them brings disaster and chaos.” ― Bill Mollison, Introduction to Permaculture “The tragic reality is that very few sustainable systems are designed or applied by those who hold power, and the reason for this is obvious and simple: to let people arrange their own food, energy and shelter is to lose economic and political control over them. We should cease to look to power structures, hierarchical systems, or governments to help us, and devise ways to help ourselves.” ― Bill Mollison, Permaculture: A Designers' Manual"I teach self-reliance, the world's most subversive practice. I teach people how to grow their own food, which is shockingly subversive. So, yes, it's seditious. But it's peaceful sedition."― Bill MollisonPermaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless labor; and of looking at plants and animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single product system― Bill Mollison“Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple.” ― Bill MollisonLearn more about Bill Mollison, watch the videos and read the show notes on this episode here >- - -Disclaimer: This is another episode exploring different themes in Permaculture and related fields with audio clips, interviews & anything else we can find.

Donate to The Permaculture Podcast Online: via PayPal Venmo: @permaculturepodcast The title for this episode is based on a quote from Bill Mollison that my guest, Geoff Christou, paraphrases in the middle of our conversation today about how Utopian literature, the need to imagine the future, and sharing that vision with others through stories, can help our work as permaculture practitioners. That we can create more abundant designs by first sitting down and thinking about what we want in the place where we live, in our relationships with Earth and other life, and in the wider world. By knowing those stories deeply—to inhabit them—we can teach others to yearn for a vast, bountiful, and regenerative life. Find out more about Geoff's work and pick up an e-book copy of his novel at permacultureutopia.com. As I said in the beginning, the title for this episode is based on a quote from Bill Mollison. The text of that is: When we design, we are always building for future floods, future fires, future droughts, and planting a tree a few inches tall that will be future forest giants, throw future shadows. Future populations will need future soils and forest resources, shelter, security. So somebody needs to range ahead in time, scout out the next century. We are not daydreaming. We are time scouts. Each of us can contribute to this act of scouting the future by taking those thoughts we have of what could be, of what might be, or what we can imagine, and putting them down somewhere where they can be shared. Though Geoff and I spoke about the idea today in a novel, any form of art whether painting or play, can share what is possible. So, I'm wondering, do you have any examples of permaculture art? I'm interested in hearing about long-form literature, short stories, paintings, photographs, any medium that might inspire the imagination. If you have something like this floating about in your own collection, please send me an email with the subject, “Permaculture Art.” As Geoff mentioned during the interview, I've been exploring the idea of The Permaculture Pit, and how each of us can move through the period of inspired uncertainty that follows a permaculture design course. If you find yourself in this place and are looking for the resources, opportunities, and ideas that can help you take your next steps, I'm here to help. Schedule a Meandering If you're working on a permaculture design, homestead, or other work and would like me to bring my decade of experience and training to your project, you can schedule a 30 or 60-minute consultation for us to review what you're working on. Schedule a Consultation Finally, if you would be interested in a workshop on Storytelling for Design, please get in touch and I'll put you on the mailing list for the upcoming class.

During our time in that class, we may spend some of the conversations on alternative economics and governance if the course uses Bill Mollison's Designers' Manual for the curriculum and discusses the material found in Chapter 14. Outside the PDC, many authors and practitioners have added to how to have an impact in our day to day lives as we apply design and systems thinking to where we live, work, and play. As more and more of us, myself included, live in cities with little or no access to land or control over our living space—while others dream of returning to the countryside—we each have so many ways to practice permaculture. That's where books like Building a Better World in Your Back Yard, co-authored by my guest Shawn Klassen-Koop, fill a gap between those spaces. He and Paul Wheaton worked together to provide a book that gives inspiration and action for all of us. Through their insightful analysis and long-running knowledge of permaculture, they share ways we can achieve more than the latest green trends. During the conversation today, Shawn shares some of those ideas and how to transform our lives wherever we live. He also talks about his experience of co-authoring a book, and how you can get that book inside yourself out onto the page and into the world. Find out more about Shawn, his book, and the accompanying podcast series at buildingabetterworldbook.com/scott. Join The Permaculture Podcast Patreon Community As we shared in the middle of the interview, we have several copies of his book to give away. If you'd like to enter this giveaway sending me an email and include “Building a Better World” in the subject line. Stepping away from this interview and looking through the book, I think this is a great introduction to the concepts of permaculture and turning our energy into steps we can take each day to achieve our goals. In doing so, we can practice David Holmgren's first principle of permaculture, Observe and Interact, every day by deeply considering our place and space, and making small, meaningful consistent changes. It's also a good book to introduce others to the ideas of permaculture, and it's going on my gift list for friends and family wondering what this permaculture thing is all about. But, those are just my thoughts. After hearing this conversation with Shawn, and especially if you've read the book already, what do you think? How will you use what you've learned to change your permaculture practices and design? Let me know. Leave a comment below. Until the next day, build a better world in your own backyard while taking care of Earth, your self, and each other.
