Congratulations again to the new class of Periclean Scholars that was inducted last Thursday! Our class is really excited to meet everyone and see what they accomplish in the next few years. This week, we continued our conversation about potential partnerships as we heard from Dr. Moore about Biointensive, a sustainable method of farming. Because this method functions on a small budget and needs minimal land, it will work well in Namibia. It involves deep soil preparation, composting, intensive planting, companion planting and has a high calorie yield. As a class, we are leaning towards sustainable farming (using the Biointensive method) as a project. Dr. Moore is a great resource, and we will really benefit from his wisdom in this area. At this point, we need to continue focusing on research and finding a partner in Namibia.
We concluded class by setting goals for next week, which include meeting with our accountability partners and our mentees. Several members of our class are also attending a presentation by Danielle Nierenberg, Food Tank President and Co-founder in honor of Earth Day. This coincides with our project idea due to her focus on sustainability!
Peace Love Periclean
