The Story of Permaculture | Documentary (2024)
After compiling a little film about Bill Mollison, there was a large call to expand on it and the origins of permaculture, giving some other pioneers their dues. So, here I have focused on some of the people who influenced me heavily when I first became interested in permaculture. It includes clips from David Holmgren, Masanobu Fukuoka, Sepp…

Hiya Folks, Hope ye enjoyed this. As I said above, let me know who your favourite permaculture and natural farming pioneers are and I'll add them to the list in the video description! ✌❤ 🌳
Update: Wow, this list is really getting long… Well worth checking it out if you're looking for topics to research. Keep the names coming!
I was also emailed a list of the original PDC students in North America in the early '80s. If anybody has similar lists from other continents it would be great to add those too.
This video would be far more appealing and effective with out the added dramatic exposition at the begining..

Please do not play music trough the narrating. It is impossible to follow the narrating. Or offer an option without music. Lots of people struggle with this but it isa matter of accesibility to many with hearing problems, autism, adhd and energy/focus matters.
Thank you for sharing this!
This is such an inspiring selection of information.
Thank you for your efforts.
If only the world could see what they are overlooking driving around in their tractors.
I have done some good application of the regenerative practices on my families small cattle farm.
It works.
I am in the same region as the Originators of Permaculture, in central Victoria, Australia, in the 'Plenty'. Has not been 'Plentiful' for many decades, as it was cleared and washed fertility away. In early settlement.
We are being pushed out and damaged now by urban creep.
I am blessed to have been here to fall in love with soil, plants and Big Nature.
Is the a reason Paul Wheaton isn't mentioned? His site Permies has so much free info its daunting at times!
While not directly in the ancestral lineage of Permaculture, I think P.A. Yeomans (Water For Every Farm, 1973) work on hydrology, keyline design, earthworks, and scale of permanence are critical pieces that have been incorporated into the work of permaculture and regenerative agriculture today. For anyone interested, Darren Doherty has some excellent videos on these concepts in practice on his YT channel Regrarians Ltd.
And another newer (last 20ish years) “pioneer” that I haven’t seen mentioned in the comments and is putting out some great content on his YT channel is Ben Falk. His work on whole systems design is excellent.
I would like to mention Morag Gamble of Queensland Australia. She was the one getting me thinking through her YouTube videos, and through the suggestions, I found many of the channels of the people mentioned in this video.
I see him in the description, but Mark Shepard is doing an insane amount of good in the realm of converting conventional farms to permaculture. Im surrounded by 1,000+ acre farmers and ranchers, and Mark's is the only viable path I've seen for them so far.
At another ("smaller") level but inspiring: the couple from Edible Acres for their work on disseminating their knowledge?
Whats concerning to me is the lack of people of color on the cover photo.
Back to Basics is Key!
Humans have yet so very much to learn from Mother Nature! …soo much!
In Flora AND Fauna alike!
GOD BLESS

There is a name missing on the list: Ana Primavesi
RFK Jr. Was the lawyer who fought against Monsanto tyranny.
Wonderful video!! Keep up the fantastic work….You´ve named my favourite pioneers in the video and I would add Brad Lancaster, Andrew Millison, Ben Falk and Zach Weiss as representatives of the next generation of the permaculture movement.
Fantastic. You are really finding a voice combining your two loves of film making and permaculture. Can't wait for the next one. I really like Andrew Millisons teaching presentation and Ben Falks implementation.
What a motivating video Bosco. Just uplifting.. Thank you so much!

Forgot Brad Lancaster in Tuscan Arizona.
What about Paul Gauchi?
Crossing western wheat grass with wheat
i think i just discovered the foundational characters to the practices im so passionate about 💚 master cho & knf is another pioneer for me 🪱🧡 also ruth stout
great inspiration & video 👍 thank you
I feel so proud, as an Australian, to have links to the permaculture movements. The hairs are standing up on my neck. At one time or another, I have either read about or seen on YouTube so many of these marvelous people who have inspired me to keep maintaining my existing Food Forest and inspiring me to create new ones. Cheers!
Man thats crazy to think that permaculture probably was the original agriculture…
Great meditative overview. Ernst Gotsch syntropic agroforestry I'm practicing it in Kenya it's very good, also good to include . Also , Matt Powers
One comment for Jesus
Nice video thanks 🙂
I think that any story like this should also include any small mention of the forced changes in farming and land use during colonialism and early industrialization, and especially the agressive pushing of chemicals during the "Green revolution," and the further development of globalized industrial trash ""food"" systems, without being a handwringing gloomy chronicle of destruction but to provide a very necessary backdrop.. You only say "societies shifted"(!) – this could be kind of like whitewashing history or even akin to apologism if you are speaking about so many places in the world. There are still tribal people living in the Amazon forest…
Someone mentioned this below, and its not a small problem- that there are hoards of eco-charlatans selling "courses" and whatever "services" under this banner.. There are many great teachers and practitioners mentioned in this video, but "Permaculture" is like a brand with its own pantheon of careerist celebrity-gurus acting like they invented or solely discovered traditional indigenous techniques… Any knowlege that needs to be shared and spread should be done freely… anyone can learn and implement without paying for a pdc… (I wondered btw whats your source that Robert Harts methods were taken from a Mollison pdc? I never heard that)… really sometimes I prefer using terms like "agroforestry" etc to avoid pointing people in any direction of the traps and schemes… and all the type of videos youtube recommends me of wealthy suburbanites installing little raingardens in thier posh yards as if that will offset thier vast overconsumption…
Just ranting a little.. )) Part of ""permaculture"" must entail actively going against commercialism and greenwashing etc… Just my thoughts.. Thanks for reading, have a good day )
Larry Korn, I discover permaculture some 12y ago now, was amazed by sentence " you can solve all the worlds problem in the garden", heard it from Geoff but I think it was originally from mr Mollison. but I watched Larry Korn on some free PDC that was available back in the days, and find mine inspiration, now living last 3y in strawbale house on small regenerative farm in Croatia. rgds to all permaculturists out there
Jhon d liu is missing
Beautifully inspired
Don't know why you've got Allan Unsavory in there. He' a senile, elephant killing fraud.
I love Bill Mollison, loud mouth-drunk womanizer red neck " Who is Geoff Lawton, a blasted, Hahahaha"
Master Herbalist, anyone who created Ayahuasca is definitely a master herbalist
No idea how I found the word permaculture one day, around ten years ago, on the internet. Looked into it more, and thought is was a bit complicated then found Geoff Lawton's online course and did that in 2915. Still so much to learn, which is also the fun part!

Please, The music at 2 minutes, can you tell what it is. Sorry if was already listed, i did not see .
I would take issue with some of those who merely use the word permaculture but then sell something else. But hell, who really cares in this culture! Hahahaha!
Mollison did say anything is better than what is going on now.
