Video: Starting A food forest In My Farm In Puerto Rico
I have been living in the beautiful paradise that is Puerto Rico for the last 8 years. Click here to read why I moved here fromBrooklyn, NY. For the past 5 years, I decided to be the guardian of the beaches and rivers of Puerto Rico.

A new chapter begins for me here in the beautiful paradise that is Puerto Rico as I was…

Video: The Forested Garden: What is a Food Forest? By Geoff Lawton
What is a Food Forest… A food forest, also called a forest garden, is a diverse planting of edible plants that attempts to mimic the ecosystems and patterns found in nature. Food forests are three dimensional designs, with life extending in all directions – up, down, and out. Generally, we recognize seven layers of a forest garden – the overstory, the understory, the shrub layer, the herbaceous layer, the root layer, the ground cover layer, and the vine layer. Some also like to recognize the mycelial layer, layer eight (mushrooms). Using these layers, we can fit more plants in an area without causing failure due to competition. Forests are ecosystems with a…

Documentary: Thriving 23-Year-Old Permaculture Food Forest – An Invitation for Wildness
My vision is to create my own food forest one day, to leave something behind instead of those footprints we leave behind going no where. We should strive to leave positive footprints behind. In the small town of Riverton at the bottom of New Zealand’s South Island is Robert and Robyn Guyton’s amazing 23-year-old food forest. The 2-acre property has been transformed from a neglected piece of land into a thriving ecosystem of native and exotic trees where birds and insects live in abundance. Robert and Robyn are a huge inspiration to us, not only for their beautiful approach to healing the land and saving heritage trees and seeds, but…

Must Watch Monsanto GMO Documentary: The Future Of Food 2004
The Future Of Food 2004 THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled grocery store shelves for the past decade. Mostly coming from Monsanto. The film voices opinions of farmers in disagreement with the food industry, and details the impacts on their lives and livelihoods from this new technology, and the market and political forces that are changing what people eat. The farmers state that they are held legally responsible for their crops being invaded by “company-owned” genes. The film generally opposes the patenting of living organisms, and describes the disappearance of traditional cultural practices.

PHOTOS: The food I have Grown in Puerto Rico
The food I have grown in Puerto Rico I am currently residing in the sunny tropical island of Puerto Rico (by way of Brooklyn), which for those that don’t know is located in the Caribbean. The great part of living here is the warm sunny weather year round. The climate is great for growing food year round. But there are not many growers. I have challenged people to grow at least one plant, which could be read in this blog. Yet that is too hard for most people. I have inspired a few to grow, but I think it’s time for the people to realize our true potential and in…

WATCH: First Earth (Earthen Homes Documentary)
I wrote a blog on my vision on a sustainable future which can be seen by clicking here. I think we need to change the way we look at shelter as all we see is the big house with the white picket fences and the giant swimming pool. Living in debt all our lives, paying off our giant homes. Using materials that leave a negative impact on our environment. So many viable options, as I wrote in that post I mentioned before. From cob to hempcrete. So many options, but we limit those options by the limits of our creativity. Here is a documentary on earthen homes which I enjoyed…

Acceptaria Mi Reto: Cultivar Una Planta
Acceptaria Mi Reto: Cultivar Una Planta Vivimos en un mundo en cual tenemos toda nuestra comida importada, cuando tenemos toda esta rica tierra que nos rodea. Con la forma en que vamos, si un desastre natural llegara a suceder, la gente vas correr como un pollo sin cabeza. Espera que el gobierno venga a salvarlos como la gente estan dependiente de un maldito plaga que es el gobierno. “La tierra volverá a quienes la trabajan con sus manos – Emiliano Zapata“ Aqui en Puerto Rico es triste que por supuesto muchas gente nunca a comido un tomate fresco, ni sabes como sabe. Mi reto es para todo el mundo crezca…

Quarantine Challenge: Grow just one Vegetable plant
My challenge to the world: Grow just one plant! Updated: March 28 2019 Many around the world are quarantined in our homes due to the coronavirus. I am currently in Puerto Rico, where the weather is warm year round and I truly believe Puerto Rico needs to grow more food as 85 percent of the food is imported. If things get worse and that ship never comes, well let’s say things will get ugly quick. I want to propose a challenge to the world and especially to the people of Puerto Rico as food could be grown all year long in this beautiful tropical climate. Here is the food I…
