Permaculture (a of 'permanent agriculture') is an integrated system of ecological and environmental design which Mollison co-developed with, and which they together envisioned as a perennial and sustainable form of agriculture. In 1974, Mollison began his collaboration with Holmgren, and in 1978 they published their book Permaculture One, which introduced this design system to the general public. Mollison founded The Permaculture Institute in Tasmania, and created the education system to train others under the umbrella of permaculture. This education system of 'train the trainer', utilized through a formal Permaculture Design Course and Certification (PDC), has taught thousands of people throughout the world how to grow food and be sustainable using permaculture design principles. In 1981 he was awarded with the Right Livelihood Award (also known as 'Alternative Nobelprize') for his accomplishments in the field of permaculture.

In the following ten years he worked as a shark fisherman, seaman, forester, mill worker, trapper, snarer, tractor-driver and naturalist. In 1954, at the age of 26, Mollison joined and worked for the 'Wildlife Survey Section' of the (CSIRO). In the 1960s, Mollison went on to work at the Tasmanian Museum where he was a curator. He also worked with the Inland Fisheries Commission, where he was able to resume his field work once again. In 1966, he entered the University of Tasmania. After he received his degree in bio-geography, he stayed on to lecture and teach, and developed the unit of Environmental Psychology. He retired from teaching in 1979 and devoted the final 30 years of his life to travelling around Australia teaching, lecturing and writing, training others in permaculture design principles.

Development of permaculture [ ] Mollison's work with the CSIRO laid the foundation for his life-long passion: Permaculture. Mollison told his student that the original idea for permaculture came to him in 1959 while he was observing marsupials browsing in the Tasmanian rain forests, because he was 'inspired and awed by the life-giving abundance and rich interconnectedness of this eco-system.' At that moment, Mollison jotted down the following words in his diary: 'I believe that we could build systems that would function as well as this one does.' By the late 1960s, he started developing ideas about stable agricultural systems on the southern Australian island state of Tasmania. This resulted from his own personal observations of the growth and use of the industrial-agricultural methods that he believed had rapidly degraded the soil of his native state. In his view, these same methods posed a danger because they were highly dependent on non-renewable resources, and were additionally poisoning land and water, reducing, and removing billions of tons of from previously fertile landscapes.
