STATEMENT OF NEEDThe first world is reliant on third world countries for the majority of their staple diets. Through monoculture farming and its risks; such as pest and disease infestation and G.M.O. Chemical pesticides and fertilisers; there is unprecedented environmental degradation, poverty and starvation and on the other end of the scale gluttony and obesity. PROJECT OBJECTIVESTo harness the synergies between indigenous knowledge systems and scientific research, to create organic food forests that are abundant in bio-diversity and so provide complete food security. The idea is to have these abundant food forests everywhere, even in our homes! PROPOSED IMPLEMENTATION METHODS Central Seedbanks of organic hereditary strains Local Nurseries of genetic diversity Design methods 1. Site observation and analysis 2. Expanding on natural systems 3. Soil structure and rehabilitation 4. Climatic factors 5. Companion planting and multiple story cropping 6. Aqua-culture EXPECTED BENEFITS AND RESULTS The ability for all people to feed themselves The preservation of genetic biodiversity The highest of nutrition for all people Health for society and the surrounding environment Economic empowerment through the sale of surplus resources for local needs and only then for export |
