Permaculture Curriculum

Herding Cats and Dogmas

To understand permaculture education and its curriculum, it may be useful to learn a bit more about its roots. In a way permaculture started with the brief period in the 1970's when David Holmgren and Bill Mollison met in Tasmania, Australia. The different characters of our founding fathers explain perhaps the divergence in permaculture practice, research and education. At that time Bill was senior tutor at the Psychology faculty of the University of Tasmania. David was a student at the Environmental Design school of the Tasmanian College of Advanced Education.
