Class of ’17, April 28 Update

We are ecstatic at the progress our class has made in this past year.  Yes, we may have had a period where things were not getting done, but we are back and better than ever!  This past class, we had Dr. Moore speak to about Ecology Action and all things biointensive.   He has been farming and working with Ecology Action for a long time and is also the Vice President of the Ecology Action Board.  He was able to give us reasons on why biointensive is good: designed to develop organic matter, for diet based on water efficiency, for better water infiltration using deep soil preparation (x4 water stored in ground), for multicropping.

The fact that Namibia gets about 25+ inches of rain annually was brought up, but we have options.  We can educate, and find people to take on the project in Namibia.  There are many roles that go into the project, so even if some of us can’t be trained as an educator there will still be things to do.

After, we took a tentative vote, and it was vastly shown throughout our class that this would be our focus in Namibia. What do we do now as a class? We will work to make the end of this semester a fun but productive discussion on how we go about the next two years and beyond!!!

Peace, Love, Periclean
