 +==== David Holmgren ==== 
 +David Holmgren is an environmental designerauthor, and co-founder of the permaculture movement. His core teachings focus on creating sustainable and regenerative systems that work in harmony with the natural world. 
 + 
 +Holmgren's teachings emphasize the importance of observing and understanding natural patterns and systems, and using this understanding to inform the design of human systemsHe argues that by working with nature, rather than against it, we can create more sustainable and resilient systems that benefit both people and the environment. 
 + 
 +One of Holmgren's key concepts is the "permaculture flower", which represents the seven key areas of focus in permaculture design: land use, shelter, energy, waste, water, food, and community. Holmgren argues that by designing systems that address these seven areaswe can create sustainable and regenerative communities that meet the needs of both people and the environment. 
 + 
 +Holmgren also emphasizes the importance of using renewable energy and resources, and minimizing waste and pollution. He advocates for the use of organic farming and gardening techniques, such as composting and companion planting, to create healthy and productive ecosystems. 
 + 
 +Another key aspect of Holmgren's teachings is the importance of community building and social connections. He argues that by working together and building strong relationships within our communities, we can create more resilient and adaptive systems that can better withstand environmental and social challenges.
