About Us

The development of Sustainable Design Principles began here and together with the establishment of The Permaculture Institute was the catalyst for the birth of the Permaculture Ethics which have since spread worldwide.

Tagari Publications was founded by Bill Mollison in 1979 - the primary function of Tagari Publications is to support the work of the Permaculture Institute by publishing and selling books about Sustainability and then transferring the profit to the Permaculture Institute at year end.

Tagari Publications continues to publish great books by Bill Mollison and others, run courses and training camps and provide administration aid.
