Beforest Collectives

Beforest enables permaculture-driven sustainable farm collectives, for people who would like to live sustainable life in terms of food, water, and power, Beforest helps them in realizing their dream of living in nature. For realising this, permaculture must be practiced across large tracts of land. Beforest looks to work on 150+ acres of land for practicing permaculture-based collective farming.

By rejuvenating the soil and increasing the groundwater levels, Beforest makes the ecosystem ready for growing varieties of trees and plants to take care of the needs of the community. For people who would like to live such a life anchored to nature, but do not know how to go about it, Beforest presents a viable and sustainable way of making it happen.

It’s like, they’re 13-17 (18 and 19 is an adult in the US so it doesn’t count ). Still young but not child baby you g

Aha I understandeth now. "Teenagere" doth be a worde just describing years beforest an adulte.

Anti lawn, does this mean our lawns should look like this (overgrown chaotic garden with bugs

No!!! When a habitat is destroyed, nature has a way of healing itself, it's called succession

The first kinds of plants to start growing in adevastated area are called Pioneer Species. Pioneer species are tough, thrive in harshconditions, and reproduce fast, so theycompletely take over...Wait that sounds like WEEDS!!!

("*not the same as invasiveplants-invasive plantsare non-native speciesthat displace and harmnative ones.)

Exactly right! In nature, "weed" is a job. After a disaster, tough, aggressive plants takeover an area to shelter and attract wildlife, stop erosion, and get the place ready for other plants. When flowers, shrubs and trees start growing, the pioneer species start to fade

A "natural" yard doesn't mean "weeds"-it meansthe niches where weeds fit are shaded out by trees and shrubs or filled with other plants. This yard (plain green grass) is a habitat where almost all life has been wiped out. There is so much sunlight to go around that all the most aggressive plants try to snap it up. The only time in nature that there would be so few plant species, is after an extreme disaster. So, tough, aggressive "weeds" rush into start the healing process

You may think that this picture (area full of brambles and sharp thorns) shows what a "natural yard" would look like but it's actually a habitat trying to RECOVER from being a lawn.This picture shows an early stage of the natural process of succession. This stage is messy and weedy because no other plants have shown up yet to take up space and sunlight. This takes so much time andmoney to maintain because it's so empty. The more biodiversity you wipe out, the harder youhave to fight nature

Replacing part of your lawn with a better alternative means looking at the kind of habitat it would become in a later stage ofsuccession and imitating it.If the place you live used to beforest, plant some trees native toyour area. The more shade, the less easily the ground will get overgrown, because there is more competition for sunlight. A small grove of trees makes its own free mulch. Fill up space you don't use with native bushes, shrubs and flowers, lettingthem mix together and crowd in.

Yes = wildflowers which are great for pollinators filling all the space.

No = spread out bushes that only cover a small portion of the ground and will take years to grow

Don't get rid of any plants without identifying them. Not all plants that pop up in your yard are "weeds," and not all "weeds" are bad. A lot of "weeds" that grow in lawns are actually baby trees!

Eg. Oak, sycamore, redbud or poplar tulip

I...tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.

I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as "ecological deserts."

Hobby Farming: 5 Things to Know Before You Start

Anyone can be a hobby farmer - from full-time employees living in cities to part-time workers who are farming for some benefits. In this article we talk about some of the crucial things you should know about/expect from hobby farming before you decide to start your own.

Hobby farming, as the name says, is when you start to farm as a hobby. It is taken up by individuals who are passionate about farming or any activities associated with it and enjoy living in the midst of nature. It is more of a personal project and varies from person to person, farm to farm. There is a limit to what you can achieve as a hobby, in your free time. Hence, hobby farms are generally small in scale. Larger farms require greater time commitment and management.

Anyone can be a hobby farmer - from full-time employees living in cities to part-time workers who are farming for some benefits. It all depends on the resources available and what you want out of the hobby farm. This brings us to the crucial things you should know about/expect from hobby farming before you decide to start your own.

Know the purpose of your hobby farm Do you want to grow veggies for your food? Or some delicious seasonal fruits? Maybe you just need a peaceful place to relax while occasionally reaping the benefits of farm life? Be very clear about why you want to start a hobby farm, what you’ll do with it and what kind of a life you envision. The purpose may also depend upon the resources you have.

Your hobby farm cannot be your primary income source Just like your hobbies cannot be your full-time jobs, your hobby farms cannot function as a traditional farms. Using resources smartly can make you some extra money from your hobby farming. You can also grow some of your own food and save money considerably. However, if you’re expecting it to replace your current source of income, take a step back and reevaluate. Hobby farming is a passion project and not a business.

Be ready to put in some real effort This goes without saying. No matter what the scale, managing your hobby farm will demand time, work and effort from you. So if you can commit the effort, your hobby farm will brim with potential.

You cannot do it alone Maintaining the farm cannot be done by you alone. You will need to hire additional resources to look after the farm in your absence. Even if you are at the farm full-time, you will need help from local farmers to know how it's done. In addition, you will need people to tend to services like water supply/management, housing maintenance and security.

You cannot abandon this hobby once you’re bored Farming is unlike any other passion project you pick up. You cannot abandon your hobby farm once you’ve invested a great deal of your time, money and resources in it. Make a fertile land is not gone to waste if your passion fades. And if it does, be prepared to make alternate arrangements.

Farming is a very personal experience. There is no right or wrong way of building a hobby farm. If you love the farm life, respect nature, food and living beings and have the resources to start your own farm, by all means, go ahead and grow a wholesome hobby farm.

Considering all the benefits farming, In India, we are seeing growth of startups which are encouraging more and more urban people a chance to take up farming as a hobby by offering managed farmlands near Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, and near other Tier 1 cities. In the coming years we hope to see this trend growing further, drawing people away from the concrete jungles of the urban centers.

Suhail Bagdadi is the Marketing & Communications Head of Beforest Lifestyle Solutions, a company providing managed farmlands in India. He holds an Advanced Permaculture Design Certificate from Aranya Agricultural Alternatives and runs a 15-acre alphonso mango orchard along the Konkan coast, which he is converting into a food forest.
