  • ware of intensifying world challenges and the basic need of people to feed themselves, we have been working for 40 years to develop an elegant, small-scale agricultural system — GROW BIOINTENSIVE® Sustainable Mini-Farming — that when practiced correctly, nurtures healthy soil fertility, produces high yields, conserves resources and can be used successfully by almost everyone. Our goal is to help this system be known and used locally...on a worldwide basis.
  • ohn Jeavons spoke at Google in Mountain View on April 12, 2012 about his four decades pioneering biointensive farming and what we can do for food security in the future.

    John Jeavons has been doing this work for over 30 years. I studied with him In Northern California. I found it fascinating that he spoke at Google in Cali recently. Even though his method is not technology intensive it is science based and is feeding the world in many ways.

    Places where people want to live - and that are sustainable - do not happen by chance. They are the product of visionary thinking and commitment by highly skilled civic and national leaders, developers and professionals, with the full engagement and support of local partners and communities.

    I think this non-profit is pretty cool. They have drastically improved the lives of African women who used to risk their lives and waste many days looking for firewood or burning feces to cook, and so has the Aid For Africa, http://www.aidforafrica.org/member-charities/solar-cookers-international/ Solar cookers could also be built into the side of a home and used indoors! I am thinking of maybe getting or building one for my home to reduce our use of propane. We are mainly solar-powered but we have a gas range and a back up generator that run on propane and I really dislike that. This solar cooker could really help us out though there is a lot that it can't do. I still think it is interesting and worth looking into. Perhaps it is something that more of us could use.

    This is such a cool website that is packed with information about how to make choices in our every day lives that effect our environment in positive ways. There is a section called "The Card" that leads you to some links to print out a free card that is packed full of great information about buying choices and transportation etc. and it is easy to use when you are out and about. Most of the tips do not involve large expenditures, they are very simple and easy to implement. I like this site because it provides information about how everyone can make simple, inexpensive positive changes.

  • The Sustainable Communities Act allows councils, after taking advice from local people, to present proposals for government action that will help local communities to be more sustainable and offer better quality of life. The Act aims to provide a channel to propose changes to improve the economic, social or environmental well-being of an area, including participation in civic or political activity. It is aimed at givng people the power to change the environment they live in. Local councils are invited to make proposals to central government as to how it can help them promote the sustainability of local communities. To do this, councils need to talk to local people to find out what would help them.

    This paper addresses anaerobic digesters (ADs) installations on livestock farms to use animal manure as a biomass resource for both economic value and environmental benefit. Capturing biogas created naturally from animal waste before it escapes to do harm to the environment and using the gas as a fuel to produce electric power. Either to be used to power the farm itself or integrated into the local electric grid.

What is Trench Composting? - 2 views

organicgardening.about.com/...trenchcompost.htm

shared by markhutchins on 31 Jan 15 - No Cached
  • Trench composting is very simple. You dig a trench (we're using the word “trench” loosely here; it doesn't matter what shape your hole is) approximately twelve inches deep, add roughly four to six inches of compostable materials, such as kitchen scraps, spent garden plants, prunings, thinnings, and weeds, and bury it with the soil you dug out of the trench.

    Here is an article on trench composting I thought the group might enjoy. My wife and I have reduced our waste to about one small kitchen bag a week by composting our kitchen scraps.

    Hi. That is a great idea. Saves the plant from drying out. I will do that for my garden. Funny I was reading about Africa a remote area where this happen. A university sent someone out here to help solve a issue for these people to have some kind of heat source like gas. Long story short you take all the food scraps throw them into a blender and dump in in a 50 gallon drum. Does this for a bout a week. Have another 50 gallon drum ready empty. This guy ran a gas line off the barrels into the house. It produce enough methane to cook and heat the house as long you keep dumping scraps into the barrel.
