Green String Farm: On Constant Reinvestment

by | Jun 5, 2017 | Thoughts

I visit the Green String Farm, home of the Green String Institute, known for its sustainable farming practices. One of their mottos is “50% for people, 50% for nature.” At any one time, half of the farm is dedicated to restoring/improving/building its soil and productive processes, while the other half is actually producing for people. Clearly these aren’t entirely mutually exclusive, but it’s a guiding principal.

Ice Age Farmer discusses the application of this principle both to one’s own self-sufficiency in the coming Grand Solar Minimum, underscoring the need to constantly reinvest in ones own property and processes (and learning!), but also to the 50%/50% balance many of us must currently strike between maintaining a life in the current paradigm while preparing simultaneously to thrive in the changing times.

* Freshly picked cherries
* A freaking huge stack of trays for microgreens

Please share with your friends information on the Grand Solar Minimum and the resulting climate disturbances we are experiencing, as well as intensification of the crop losses that have already begun.

My aquaponics came undone yesterday, though fortunately I was immediately nearby and came to the rescue. This underscored for me, however, the importance of following through on projects. — ARE YOU FOLLOWING THROUGH ON YOUR FAMILY’S FOOD SECURITY?

Much good work is lost for the lack of a little more.
