GROW BIOINTENSIVE
Sustainable Mini-Farming Workshop
November 6-9, 2009 Willits, California
This workshop requires pre-reading and pre-registration.
Ecology Action will be holding a Three-Day GROW BIOINTENSIVE Sustainable Mini-Farming Workshop in Willits, CA, on November 6-9, 2009. This will be an exciting opportunity for in-depth learning of GROW BIOINTENSIVE® philosophy and techniques, which have been developed by the Ecology Action staff over a 37-year period.
GROW BIOINTENSIVE Sustainable Mini-Farming makes high "Green Revolution"-type yields possible organically, while using open-pollinated seeds and just a fraction of the water, fertilizer and energy resources of other agricultural methods.
Presenters of the workshop will be John Jeavons, Director of Ecology Action and author of the best-selling book How to Grow More Vegetables (now in its 7th edition and at present translated into seven languages, including Braille), and Dan and Margo Royer-Miller, graduates of Ecology Action's Three-Year Apprenticeship and Co-Field Coordinators of Ecology Action's partner site, Golden Rule.
GROW BIOINTENSIVE Three-Day Workshops have been very popular since their inception 17 years ago—with 1,567 people from 46 states, the District of Columbia, and 26 countries already having attended. People from all walks of life and levels of experience—farmers, hobby gardeners, teachers, and representatives of large and small organizations—find the workshops informative and useful.
The weekend workshop will consist of lectures, discussion, and demonstration and will include a full range of information on: Soil Preparation, Sustainable Soil Fertility, Fertilization, Compost, Compost Crops, Efficient Resource Use, Crops for Full Nutrition, and Crops for Income—as well as the perspective and whole-system approach which tie all these topics together. The workshop will be fun as well as instructive and provide a unique chance to network and learn from others who have an interest in sustainable food-raising and living. The workshop cost is $350 if registration is received by October 9, plus approximately $70 for the publications. Lunches and a networking dinner are included; lodging and other meals are not.
Ecology Action is rediscovering the scientific principles behind this resource-conserving, life-giving method that is based on successfully tested agricultural techniques that are thousands of years old. These techniques can be the first step towards achieving food self-sufficiency while living more gently on the Earth. In a world with only 50 to 100 years’ worth of soil productivity remaining, this efficient food-raising approach that works with nature will be important!
