Mark Allan
Mark decided to leave his role as a town planner in order to go out into the world to try to find how best to use his planning knowledge to tackle the climate emergency. Then he met the co-founder of permaculture, David Holmgren on a train journey from Melbourne to Sydney. What ensued was a conversation across two states that led to the realization that a symbiosis of permaculture and sustainable planning should play a defining role in creating a more sustainable, equitable world. Mark is also passionate about the ethics of nutrition and how we can feed seven billion people by minimizing animal suffering, soil erosion and habitat loss. He is very excited about the awesome potential of what can be achieved.
