The Schumacher Lecture by David Holgrem

Australian David Holgrem is best known as the co-originator with Bill Mollison of the permaculture concept.

For over 25 years permaculture has provided a coherent design framework for a broad range of empowering strategies for living with less and less energy. While the understanding and adoption of these strategies has been slow in an era of abundant energy, the emerging era of energy descent will make many radical permaculture solutions natural and obvious.

As well as constant involvement in the practical side of permaculture, David is passionate about the philosophical and conceptual foundations for sustainability that are highlighted in his latest book, Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability. In this lecture David will provide a refreshing and unorthodox approach to the environmental issues of our time.
