Introduction
Here is a gene base for an integrated, permacultural landscape proposed for Factor e Farm. We are designing with the intent to replicate the same to future facilities - by propagation techniques.
It costs about $3k to acquire the listed genetic base per person. After the initial plantout and acquisition, the entire stock can be propagated - for free to supporters of the program. Subscribe to the program here. This is like Heifer Projects International stock sharing - but not only for poor people.
Together with the Integrated Food and Waste Management System - we can create a healthy food system to replace the present disaster.
Further Information
We are looking for stewardship members for the open source community gene bank. Read more about it here.
