If you haven't seen or heard Darren Doherty of Australia Felix Permaculture
-do yourself a favor and check out his website. His informative and
entertaining lectures offer hard data and outline promising research and
studies of carbon sequestration, top soil building and more.  See
Doherty'simpressive work and schedule of events at

Bill Mollison has touted the land management strategies and introduced many
of us to the pioneering work of P.A. Yeomans... and as we (should) know,
Mollison brilliantly made Keyline Design a compulsory part of the
Permaculture Design Certificate Course Curriculum.
