Micro Farming using natural eco-systems for community food production and security.
WHAT
* Embrace permaculture philosophies,
* Diverstity of produce with a focus on staples; potatoes, corn, greens (cabbage/spinach etc), pumpkin, beans, tomatoes,
* Sharing knowledge and experience,
* Maximise yield from various land topologies,
* Minimal effort ;)
* Exchange market of community grown produce (sell & barter),
* Minimal cost of infrastructure,
* Maximise use of perennials for continual harvesting,
* Choose ‘best methods’ for fruit and vegetables considering storage and preservation; solar drying, root cellars, brine, pickling etc...
* Adding value to crops, i.e. olives to pate.

WHY
* Food security, no to famine,
* Food quality, no chemicals or GMOs,
* To place community farming at the centre of parallel economies.

HOW
* Invite people with land to start our Community Micro Farming alliance,
* Invite growers to join our community produce market,
* Persons with land, large and small are welcome to the community,
* Decide on the 5 most suitable and appropriate staple crops for our community,
* Invite community growers to add a 'how to grow' info page for each crop,
* Invite livestock keepers to add a 'how to keep' info page for each type of livestock,
* Everyone is free to choose additional crops of their choice that are best suited to their land and lifestyle,
* The community should maximise the yield from staple crops.
* Everyone in our community can participate in a Community Micro Farming exchange market.
