Summary

Knowledge to improve yields and food security with fresher and healthier local food.

Soil

  • Scientific breakthroughs in soil biosphere dynamics reveal the profound interaction between living plants and the soil food web.  Carbon, from CO2,  extracted from the air above ground flows as ‘liquid carbon’ compounds downward through the roots and leaks out into the soil; nourishing fungi, microbes and a multitude of soil organisms which reciprocally return minerals and plant available compounds through the roots upwards back into the plant.
  • Disturbing this symbiotic plant-soil community is detrimental to soil fertility.
  • Living plants on the soil are needed continually for maximum soil biosphere health and vitality.

Protected Culture

Solar Greenhouses for all season food production, geothermal air heating, and cooling, tunnel houses, row cover advances make 4 seasons growing and winter production possible as never before.

30” Beds (No-Till)

Advances in no-till, BEAM compost/tea, succession, multiple crop seeding-seedling transplant methods and mechanical automation of bed prep, planting and harvesting in standard  30” seedbeds exponentially increases crop production.

No-Till - Cover Crop - Rotational Grazing - BEAM Inoculation

Intensive but brief ‘Mob Grazing’ in combination with diverse cover crops, no-till and BEAM inoculation rapidly restores soil fertility, water retention, soil carbon levels and abundance.

Innovative Cultivation, Planting and Harvesting Tools

Two-wheel tractors, electric seedbed, grow carts, Allis G Clone tractors, tilthers, greens harvesters, flame weeders, potato planters and harvesters, manual automated seeders, compost tea sprayers, fodder - micro green automated systems, protected culture structures are all examples of the renaissance in market gardening tools and improved methods.

Mushroom Logs and Mushroom Trees

Mushroom Spawn Logs and Mushroom Inoculated Trees can add: 1. increased plant production from CO2  2. income from Mushroom sales from Logs within 2 weeks  3.  long-term yearly income from harvest of high-value, gourmet mycorrhizal mushrooms in Mushroom Tree understory.

Proven Growing Systems Education

Available on YouTube and through channel content, on-line courses and Seminars…Free or Low Cost.

Lease Urban & Agricultural Land

Business models allows high income from leased land (urban backyards to large tracts) without large capital for land.
