It is also foundational to regenerating our planet and One Community’s Highest Good of All philosophy. For this reason, we are including teaching, demonstrating, and open source sharing food forest creation and development as key components of our open source botanical garden, Highest Good food infrastructure, and model for self-replicating and self-sufficient teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities to be built around the world. As a species we have the ability to truly live in harmony and mutual support with nature and One Community will be an ongoing demonstration of exactly how personally and globally beneficial this can be. This page includes the following sections: A food forest is, as the name implies, a forest of food. Here’s a 7-minute video showing 7 years of growth: (Bb) = BAMBOO (Tp) = TROPICALS
How to Build Your Community From the Food Up By Natural Blaze You might be amazed to find out that the price of one ounce of gold could put you well on your way to food independence, or even toward creating a small business. Let's take a quick look at some practical solutions that can empower individuals and local communities by returning to the land, as well as redefining what "returning to the land" really entails. There is exciting progress being made even in areas hardest hit by the current economic crisis. Current agricultural techniques such as aquaponics and vertical farming have reduced the space that is required for self-sufficiency and are providing extremely cost-effective methods of food production. This first video highlights the benefits of producing low-cost, healthy food to begin a process of community building that combines economic concerns, health, and education to start a positive feedback-loop of empowerment. This second video discusses what can be offered by a small-scale aquaponic system.
Food Forest Open Source Hub :: What | Why | How As a species we have the ability to truly live in harmony and mutual support with nature. This open source hub (and all the associated pages) will continue to evolve indefinitely as an ongoing demonstration of how to do that through food forest creation. It includes the following sections: A food forest is, as the name implies, a forest of food. Food forests mimic nature, are outstanding examples of earth stewardship, and arguably the most natural and sustainable food production method available. Creating the One Community food forest will begin in the first year and continue indefinitely through a process we will share in complete detail here. The swales will help build the water table, renew the land, and turn our property into a lush and abundant foodscape as we implement an on-going process of “swale-mulch-plant” that moves progressively across the landscape until the entire property has been regenerated.

'Lights Have Entered Us': George Oppen's Words About Hope in Grief - Joe Fassler Five lines of a George Oppen poem about bereavement continually amaze Jeffrey Yang, the author of An Aquarium and Vanishing-Line—and even connected him to a fellow poet. Doug McLean By Heart is a series in which authors share and discuss their all-time favorite passages in literature. The new poetry anthology Time of Grief: Mourning Poems is an unusual, inventive take on a familiar subject: It explores grief in its various shades and incarnations. Related Story When I asked Time of Grief's editor, the poet Jeffrey Yang, to choose a favorite from the anthology, he selected a piece by the American poet George Oppen. Jeffrey Yang works as an editor at New Directions Publishing and at New York Review Books. Jeffrey Yang: A couple years ago a close friend of the publisher at New Directions unexpectedly lost her husband of 25 years. Certain lines immediately came to mind when thinking about what to include in such a thematically structured book. Bonus: A Poetry Reading
Grow a 100-Year-Old Self-Sustainable Food Forest in Your Backyard in Just 10 Years Do you dream of a mini-forest in your backyard? What would you need? A minimum of 100 sq. m. plot. You get a forest at the lowest possible cost- for you and for nature. Most of the world we live in today was once forest, our natural habitat for millions of years. Now surrounded by cities and agriculture, humans are no longer living in their “natural” habitat, argues a forest-building engineer named Shubhendu Sharma. But we can recreate little chunks of that habitat in just ten years our own backyards, workplaces and public spaces, he explains in the Ted Talk below: Shubhendu Sharma was an industrial engineer for Toyota hired to offset some of the carbon emissions of the company’s factories. His solution was to plant mini forests right next door. Sharma’s forests grow 10 times faster, are 100 times more biodiverse and 30 times more lush than typical reforestation projects. His methods enable him to grow a 300-tree forest in the space of 6 parked cars. “We start with soil.
Fukushima meltdown appears to have sickened American infants Fallout from that Fukushima meltdown thing a couple years back? It’s not just the Japanese who are suffering, though their plight is obviously the worst. Radioactive isotopes blasted from the failed reactors may have given kids born in Hawaii and along the American West Coast health disorders which, if left untreated, can lead to permanent mental and physical handicaps. Children born in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington between one week and 16 weeks after the meltdowns began in March 2011 were 28 percent more likely to suffer from congenital hypothyroidism than were kids born in those states during the same period one year earlier, a new study shows. In the rest of the U.S. during that period in 2011, where radioactive fallout was less severe, the risks actually decreased slightly compared with the year before. After entering our bodies, radioactive iodine gathers in our thyroids. Their findings may be only a tip of an epidemiological iceberg. So stay tuned.

No Time to Grow Food? Company Will Plant a Garden for You Farmyard, a Phoenix-based company, installs and helps maintain gardens for their clients. Photo: Kathryn Sukalich, Earth911 You know that saying, ‘Give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day. Farmyard, a Phoenix-based company, has a unique business model that not only provides fresh, organic produce through a community supported agriculture (CSA) program, but also visits the yards of those interested in growing their own food, helps install gardens and follows up to ensure clients are properly tending to their crops. At its core, learning to garden requires that people alter the way they think, both about what they eat and how they interact with the world around them. “We’re so used to having that grocery store mentality, having everything all the time no matter what,” Rebecca Kidwell, co-owner of Farmyard, told Earth911. Growing their own food helps people learn where food comes from, as well as how that food relates to the local landscape, Kidwell said.
Forest Garden With 500 Edible Plants Requires Only a Few Hours of Work Per Month This man’s forest garden produces tons of food, while practically tending itself! Historically, farms and forests have been at odds. Conventional wisdom says we have to cut down the forest to make way for agriculture. But a growing movement called agro-forestry “capitalizes” on the free services forests provide farmers and gardeners. Not only do trees protect more delicate edible plants from the elements and extreme weather, they provide nutrients, water, pest control and pollination services. Although you might not find all your traditional annual veggies in a forest garden, you will discover hundreds of new varieties of edible plants you never knew existed, that are often more nutrient-dense and flavorful. And if you choose your plants carefully, they will propagate themselves each year and live symbiotically among the hundreds of diverse species around them, requiring no tilling, planting, fertilizing, weeding or watering. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Juana Inés de la Cruz Sister (Spanish: Sor) Juana Inés de la Cruz, O.S.H. (English: Joan Agnes of the Cross) (12 November 1651 – 17 April 1695), was a self-taught scholar and poet of the Baroque school, and Hieronymite nun of New Spain. Although she lived in a colonial era when Mexico was part of the Spanish Empire, she is considered today both a Mexican writer and a contributor to the Spanish Golden Age, and she stands at the beginning of the history of Mexican literature in the Spanish language. Early life[edit] A portrait of Juana during her youth in 1666, which states she was 15 at the time, when she first entered the viceregal court She was born Juana Inés de Asbaje y Ramírez de Santillana in San Miguel Nepantla (now called Nepantla de Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz in her honor) near Mexico City. Juana was a devoutly religious child who often hid in the hacienda chapel to read her grandfather's books from the adjoining library, something forbidden to girls.

The forest garden with 500 edible plants that requires only a few hours of work per month Historicamente, fazendas e florestas estão em conflito. A sabedoria convencional diz que temos que cortar a floresta para abrir caminho para a agricultura. Mas um movimento crescente chamado agro-florestal “capitaliza” nos serviços gratuitos que as florestas fornecem aos agricultores e jardineiros. As árvores não apenas protegem as plantas comestíveis mais delicadas dos elementos e do clima extremo, mas também fornecem nutrientes, água, controle de pragas e serviços de polinização. Embora você possa não encontrar todos os seus vegetais anuais tradicionais em um jardim florestal, você descobrirá centenas de novas variedades de plantas comestíveis que nunca soube que existiam, que geralmente são mais densas em nutrientes e saborosas. E se você escolher suas plantas com cuidado, elas se propagarão a cada ano e viverão simbioticamente entre as centenas de espécies diversas ao seu redor, sem necessidade de arar, plantar, fertilizar, capinar ou regar.

How to Plant a Honey Bee Friendly Garden | The Adventures of Thrive Farm In the winter of 2006 the honey bee population began to die out. Since then, as much as 70% of some bee populations have died as a result of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Seventy farm grown crops, about one-third of our natural food supply, rely on honey bees for pollination. Imagine peanut better without jelly. If the honey bees disappear, so will the grapes and the strawberries, along with many of the other foods that have become not only favorites, but staples of the modern diet. Instruction Honey Bee Friendly Plants Attract and nourish honey bees with nectar producing plants. Long Blooming Flowers Plant long blooming plants, or a variety of plants that will bloom at different times throughout the spring and fall. Honey Bees Need Water Provide a pond, a fountain, or some other fresh water source. Native bees will make their homes in sand Provide a space in your garden for native bees to make their home.
