Bill Mollison

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bruce Charles 'Bill' Mollison (born 1928 in Tasmania, Australia) is a researcher, author, scientist, teacher and naturalist. He is considered to be the 'father of permaculture', an integrated system of design, co-developed with David Holmgren, that encompasses not only agriculture, horticulture, architecture and ecology, but also economic systems, land access strategies and legal systems for businesses and communities.

Sepp Holzer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Josef Holzer (also known as Sepp Holzer, born 24 July 1942) was born in Ramingstein, Austria. Coming from a line of farmers, he took over his parents' business in 1962 and started applying ecological farming methods after being unsuccessful with the regular farming methods on his difficult land. Forty-eight years later he is still working on the same land according to his "Holzer Permaculture". His expanded farm now spans over 45 hectares of forest gardens, including 70 ponds, and is said to be the most consistent example of permacultureworldwide.

Masanobu Fukuoka

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Microbiologiste de formation, il s'est spécialisé en phytopathologie, avant de commencer à douter des progrès apportés par l'agriculture scientifique. Il abandonne alors son poste de chercheur et part cultiver sa ferme familiale sur l'île de Shikoku. Dès lors, il consacre sa vie à développer une agriculture plus conforme à ses convictions, qu'il qualifiera d'agriculture naturelle. Ses recherches, inspirées de ses racines culturelles zen, taoïste, shinto, bouddhisme, vont dans le sens d'une unification spirituelle entre l'Homme et la Nature. A partir des années 1980, ses travaux rencontrent progressivement une reconnaissance mondiale, et il multiplie les conférences et rencontres internationales. Sa ferme devient un lieu d'échange sur ses pratiques pour des experts et curieux venus du monde entier.
