Les bases du jardinage sol vivant. Jardinons sol vivant, le blog de Gilles Domenech. Micro-agriculture biointensive de Chadwick et Jeavons : Discussion générale. Yiriba a écrit:Est ce que cette methode inclut l'importance des haies, en tant que réservoir de biodiversité, coupe vent... (ou pourquoi pas source de BRF!) Ou des marres , elles aussi comme réservoir de biodiversité, comme cela est préconisé en permaculture?

Les arbres sont mentionnés en tant que créateurs de microclimats, source de minéraux depuis les couches profondes du sol, frein à l'érosion, bénéfiques pour les nappes phréatiques, source d'aliments et de matériaux, mais le sujet n'est que survolé. Concernant les mares je n'y ai pour l'instant rien vu à ce sujet.La méthode en elle-même se concentre sur l'autosuffisance alimentaire sur petite surface, elle ne détaille pas la structure du milieu alentour. Sa philosophie globale est d'utiliser moins de surface pour produire de la nourriture, et ce faisant de laisser aussi de la place pour que les écosystèmes sauvages se développent librement. Yiriba a écrit:La matière première des composts de la première année est-elle précisée? Ecology Action: Self Teaching Course. Biointensive Self-Teaching Handbook About the Handbook: Click to expand The roots of biologically-intensive food raising date back 5,000 years in Africa, 4,000 years in Asia, 1,000 years in Latin America and at least 300 years in Europe.

As mentioned above, the techniques involved have the potential to grow farmable soil up to 60 times faster than occurs in nature while producing higher yields, conserving resources and using only open-pollinated seeds, which can be locally grown, thus reducing farm dependence on commercial seed producers. Ecology Action's goal is to enable as many people as possible, in all the food-growing climates and soils around the world, to begin growing food and soil with a scientifically tested, biologically-intensive, organic food raising approach: the GROW BIOINTENSIVE® method. Lucky for all of us, Margo Royer-Miller, a former Ecology Action Apprentice and Field Coordinator, was eager to write this manual.
