Mollison (Bill Mollison)

Bill Mollison was an Australian ecologist and environmentalist who co-developed permaculture, a design approach for creating sustainable and self-sufficient agricultural systems. Permaculture integrates natural ecosystems to produce food, water, and shelter efficiently while conserving resources. Mollison emphasized working with nature rather than against it, promoting practices that improve the environment, support biodiversity, and reduce dependence on external inputs like chemicals and fossil fuels. His work focuses on designing human habitats that are resilient, productive, and harmoniously integrated with the natural world, encouraging a more sustainable and ethical approach to land use and community living.
