David Holmgren: Reflecting on Permaculture's Origins

An article published in Green Lifestyle Magazine explored the origins and global impact of permaculture, co-founded in Australia in 1978 by David Holmgren and Bill Mollison. It highlighted how Permaculture One catalyzed a shift toward sustainable design during the 1970s energy crises, and how permaculture continues to gain relevance during times of economic uncertainty. Holmgren emphasized the movement’s practical, hands-on approach and its integration of ecological, social, and agricultural innovations.
