What is Permaculture? By Bill Mollison, David Holmgren

[@amitdahal1698]

Humans need to touch soil on a regular basis. The power of soil is connected to our soul and more 🤠🙏🏽

[@chrystalbriggs1878]

I am still living the dream.. Permaculture saved me.

[@ilurco9660]

Permaculture grand revolution! Hopefully we will see it happening soon!

[@dantheman9135]

So many solutions start and finish in the garden...

[@HFTLMate]

Really well made, I have seen the individual clips, but seeing them together in this way is very awesome

[@DogsGoWoofProductions]

Thank you. I really appreciate it. Great to hear you have seen the originals too.🌱

Some shots of Bill Mollison here are from an interview taken 2005 in Motovun, Croatia, during International Permaculture Convergence :) Full interview here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIOnYnqNYtuCfsk

[@amitdahal1698]

Thank you Bill for spending time with me when I was a kid. Sir you have a beautiful soul 🤠🙏🏽

[@nadakuditigopikrishna6587]

Nice to see the good friend of Dr. Venkat. Unfortunately we miss them both!!

[@francesmollison8122]

Thankkyou Dad and David. Great team and good to see how well you work tog to explain this succinctly.

[@DogsGoWoofProductions]

Thanks Frances, we never got a chance to meet your father, but are so grateful for what he and David brought to the world. Thank you for getting in touch

swabhiman baral there are various Permaculture courses in India.

[@billypoppins9138]

I just turned 40... I was introduced to these guys at 14.. I preach permaculture daily and I practice it... Told I need certificates to teach something that's free. ✌🏻

[@myronplatte8354]

@@billypoppins9138 you just need a certificate if you're gonna grant them. No-one should stop you from teaching. The problem becomes evident with people like Sepp Holzer (by the way, a brilliant farmer and permaculturist, not many will come close to his inventiveness) who intuitively uses design principles, but consciously doesn't understand them very well. He travels around and teaches "permaculture". Admittedly, he calls it "Sepp Holzer's permaculture", but the distinction seems to be rather obscure to the Ukrainian peasant homesteaders I am trying to explain it to. Really, what Mr. Holzer teaches is a collection of his very useful, brilliant innovations, specifically adapted to temperate climates. What he does not teach is a system of design, although his designs are examples of good design. So here I am, talking to these people who took a two-week course with this guy, and since have built a pond with a terrace on the south side, blocking a good deal of the sunlight that would have been falling on it, planted many different trees haphazardly, without much understanding of interactions between elements or guilds, harvest their firewood in logs from the forest, have many un-designed-for waste streams, absolutely no concept of zonation, and many other such things, which make it clear that they do not understand the basics, but they think that they are doing permaculture. All this because Sepp conflated teaching good designs with teaching good design.

@@myronplatte8354 That's a pity. I hope you are able to help them grasp the bigger picture

[@hardikramteke5452]

No other video comes near explaining what permacuture is except this.

Perdonad, cómo puedo apoyar con los subtítulos. Hay unas erratas importantes...

[@DogsGoWoofProductions]

If you would like to help with subtitles, you can edit them in clicking subtitles and submit or contribute to add or edit. I appreciate your support to help make this accessible to Spanish viewers. :)

[@lacasaintegralsccl]

@@DogsGoWoofProductions Sorry, I don't see the options submit or contribute to add or edit... as a matter of fact, I cannot even see the Spanish subs just now. I can point out that at one Stage David Holmgren says (around 2:50): "the way we organize everything, is a part of that", and in Spanish it said, "...that is separate from all that". Not good 🙂

[@lifeisbutavapor9396]

I am sure the Natives were aware of these principles long before.

[@misterjones2u]

absolutely, much of permaculture is derived from observing traditional systems, but that has created design system that can be used for most things. Its seems to me big part of the thinking we need to rebuild the damaged ecology and societies of our planet

[@Mr.Ut21]

'The native' who, exactly?? Americans? Too much Pocahontas, my friend. The 'old civilizations'that were long extinct before european arrival perhaps, but the vast majority of native tribes at the start of the 16th century that were agrarian were using similar systems for farming as most europeans had been. Even less so, since the only cereal crop they grew on the regular was corn. Which is good, still. European farming focused around wheat varieties, which required more effecient farming methods to be effective.

[@Cooliemasteroz]

I would have thought that this was the way for Europeans a long time ago as well.

[@marvellousmrsmoller]

Holmgren and Mollison made it clear that they observed many first nations people's practices and saw them as far more sustainable than that of what has become conventional agriculture. It is the drawing together of those observations, the design principles learned from them and adapted to the different circumstances; that wider view applied is the difference that permaculture brings

[@trailmagazine2526]

Beautifully crafted and soulful! Thanks to all involved for sharing their insights, so others can be switched on to the principles. Thank you Bill, David, and filmmakers!

[@christiandahl3546]

Yes Thanks You!!! Miss you Bill you will live on in your students work for the rest of earth's history

a go to video to send each time i get asked "what is permaculture?"

[@DogsGoWoofProductions]

Thanks for letting us know. It’s great to hear it’s being used as a resource

[@PensionerPondFarm]

This is a great video to explain the basics of Permaculture to the novice.

[@DogsGoWoofProductions]

Pensioner Pond Permaculture thanks for the comment, that’s great to hear.

Except the aspect of sustainability, I know just as much about permaculture as before...

Got some questions youd like answered?

@@LotusSquid yes! what is permaculture? In 3 sentences.

[@sammuthu]

true

[@Raindrup-jv8ru]

Indigenous people already knew this

[@DogsGoWoofProductions]

True that.

[@shanekonarson]

Love permaculture!!! However one thing I’ve never heard from it is diet !

[@chrystalbriggs1878]

One Meal A Day.. And lemon water.. No sugar. Eat what you grow.

[@shamanmonkey]

@@chrystalbriggs1878 - Do you grow lemons? If not how can you say that? If so, what do I do when I cannot grow lemons? Like Holmgren just said, there are no great single ideas that are more valuable than all the rest. Every landscape requires different design solutions.

[@Cooliemasteroz]

It’s unfortunate that we still use money as this is why we have monoculture which is most profitable because it’s easier to harvest using machinery. The world really needs to work towards getting rid of money, maybe the way is to do things for nothing and to give things away knowing that you will receive something for nothing. I suppose it would work better on an international scale especially now that we have the internet, all we need is democracy and to be told the truth about things by the media and politicians.

[@nixbondi]

Or we could take back the power to issue money from the banks that we have relinquished it to. Watch docos like 'The Money Masters' or 'The Secret Of Oz' and all will be explained. We didn't get here by accident. Just like permaculture there is the right way to create money and there is the wrong way. They only ever offer the wrong way.

[@obadiahscave]

No one creates permaculture.. it is nature... you can't create nature.. you CAN discover permaculture. But, NO MAN ever created it.. this is what separates the flawed man with his pride, and a humble man who works with nature.. leave your pride behind, and you'll have success..

[@blahdelablah]

It's a collaborative project, humans plant the initial seeds and do a minimal amount of steering, and nature takes care of the rest. The ideas of permaculture are about re-educating humans, so you can learn it.

[@eugenio1542]

Bill, for one, will agree with your haughty opinion. It's more like "discovery" of what's already there. He has said that he "stole" from nature and ancient knowledge to re-energise practical knowledge as a holistic system. The "system" is merely a guide for individuals to explore further and design their own according to the land, climate etc. He was first inspired by sitting under a tree in a forest and seeing the land washed into the sea from deforestation in his beloved wilderness of Tasmania. He was "horrified" at the over intellectualisation and commercialisation of "The Movement" but accepted, as must we, that it is part of "The Human Condition"
