COMMUNITY RESILIENCE
cover cropping
Diversity is key for the natural co-habitation of our essential environment. Suggesting a minimum of seven species per square foot as a rule of thumb, we aim to foster the sharing of space, moisture, sunlight, and nutrients. The protective nature of bio-intensive seeding is an under-values practice that I aggressivly advocate for.
- Seven species per square foot
- Predator habitats
- Nutrient cycling
- Weed suppression
- Eradicate harmful nematodes
- Nitrogen Fixing
- Carbon sequestration
- Pollinator protagonists
CLIMATE ADAPTAION
I plan community activities for regenerative practices, some of which include building fishponds, taro patches, food forests, and aquaponic systems. When we build together, we are investing in each other, thus creating a more resilient ecosystem. It’s important to include the keiki and the kupuna! Nothing is better than sharing in the fun.
- Fostering successional ecosystems
- Implementing synergtistic applications
- Cultural perpective discussions
- Identifying the regenerative approach
- Natural resource management
- Adapting for technological advantage
- Invest in generational wealth
- Pass on traditional knowledge
FOOD FORESTRY
The co-habitation of species is essential to generate the life giving microbrial diversity. With proper strategy, patience, and support, microclimates can flourish with little to no human input over time. The planned succession and stratification of growth benefits every part of the ecosystem.
- Grow nutrient dense food
- Reduce inputs like fertilizer or compost
- Conserve on water
- Increase wildlife inhabitation
- Generate carbon
- Create a “cooling” climate
- Passive food production
- Herbicideand pesticide free
INDIGENOUS VALUES THAT GUIDE US
“The Ahupua’a System is ancient wisdom that guides us” Designed by our Hawaiian ancestors, the division of resources was such that each community was provided with all the essentail needs for people to thrive. From mauka to makai, land and ocean based management is a biocultural practice that lives on today.
“The cultivation of our environment is to foster perfection in ourselves” One of the most profound regenertive practices is to identify and strategize for the natural succession of our staple foods. The holistic production of our food systems ensures that the next generation has the security to self govern as providers and producers.
“Modern convenience has created a rift between our community and our resources” Where diet and lifestyle play a key role in health and longevity, value begins with food on the table. Mixing the art of growing food and cooking food is the expression of forming healthy relationships with our ecosystem.
“No task is too great when performed together, by many, by all.” Find passion through giving. Those who find gratification in positive experiences will understand high value their investment of time and energy to help produce the finest food on Earth. Its good for the collective, body, heart, and soul.
