What if the Philippines could transform its agricultural landscape through innovative agro-industrial real estate developments? Imagine vertical farms stretching skyward, utilizing every inch of space efficiently while smart farming technologies optimize growth conditions and resource use. How could this revolutionize food security and elevate produce quality for export and local markets? Picture farmers with cutting-edge education programs, state-of-the-art laboratories, advanced technology, and modern equipment. What impact would comprehensive funding initiatives and cold storage facilities have on reducing post-harvest losses and maintaining produce freshness? Can the Philippines become a global leader in sustainable, efficient, and resilient food production by embracing these advancements? This vision promises a future where the agricultural sector thrives, meeting the demands of tomorrow with unprecedented efficiency and quality. How will this transformative journey shape the future of farming in the Philippines?

Nestled amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Dolomites, Alta Badia isn't just a haven for skiers and hikers; it's a region passionately committed to sustainable practices. Here, the Ladin people, with their deep love for their land, have woven a philosophy of environmental responsibility into the very fabric of their tourism industry. Let's delve into the inspiring initiatives that make Alta Badia a leader in eco-friendly tourism. ATIRA: Educating for Action ATIRA, meaning "immediately" in Ladin, embodies the proactive approach Alta Badia takes towards sustainability. This series of summer excursions and meetings aims to educate residents and visitors on crucial issues impacting the region's future. Alongside local experts, participants explore the mountains, gaining insights into the delicate ecosystem. From understanding the threat posed by the bark beetle to appreciating the role of mushrooms in the forest's health, ATIRA fosters a sense of responsibility for preserving this natural treasure. Alta Badia Hands-on Engagement: Activities for Every Eco-Warrior Alta Badia offers a variety of activities that go beyond lectures, encouraging active participation in environmental stewardship. The Bark Beetle: A Tree-Eating Insect: This excursion sheds light on the challenges faced by the forest due to the bark beetle infestation. Witnessing the impact firsthand and learning about mitigation strategies empowers participants to become advocates for forest health. Mycology: The Forest Through the Eyes of a Mushroom: This fascinating walk, led by a passionate mycologist, unveils the ecological and medicinal significance of mushrooms. You'll discover how these seemingly simple organisms play a vital role in the forest's well-being. Mowing the Mountain Meadows: Embark on a journey with a young Ladin farmer, learning the art and science of mowing. Witness the traditional techniques used to maintain the meadows and understand the ecological importance of this practice. The tour concludes with a visit to a barn and hayloft, offering a glimpse into the life of a mountain farmer. Alta Badia Eco-Hiker: This initiative tackles the problem of littering on hiking trails. Equipped with gloves and bio-bags, participants actively contribute by collecting waste left behind, ensuring a cleaner environment for everyone. The experience culminates in a picnic, a token of appreciation for their environmental commitment. Renasciüda: Rebirthing the Forest The devastating storm Vaia in 2018 left scars on the landscape. Renasciüda, meaning "rebirth" in Ladin, signifies Alta Badia's unwavering spirit. This annual event allows anyone to participate in replanting trees near the Campolongo Pass, actively contributing to restoring the affected areas. Carless: Encouraging Sustainable Transportation The Carless campaign incentivizes tourists to explore the region without their cars. Upon arrival, guests can hand in their car keys, receiving a benefit card offering discounts on taxi services, excursions, and entry to local attractions. This not only reduces traffic congestion but also promotes a greener way of exploring the area. Immersing Yourself in Nature: Food Forests and Green Mobility Alta Badia is fostering innovative projects to further enhance its eco-friendly approach. Food Forest: This unique concept involves creating a self-sustaining ecosystem where trees, shrubs, and medicinal plants grow together. Visitors can take self-guided tours through the Masisti forest at the Campolongo Pass, learning about the various species while enjoying the beauty of nature. Green Mobility: Alta Badia prioritizes reducing CO2 emissions from traffic. The summer opening of lifts encourages sustainable transportation by allowing exploration of the mountains car-free. Additionally, e-bike sharing allows for effortless exploration of the region, reaching even the Movimënt parks at an altitude of 2,000 meters. Conserving Every Drop: The Importance of Water Alta Badia promotes responsible water consumption by discouraging the use of plastic bottles. They encourage guests to utilize tap and fountain water, offering refillable branded bottles to minimize environmental impact. Beyond Green: A Holistic Approach to Sustainability Sustainability in Alta Badia extends beyond environmental concerns. Their GSTC certification highlights their commitment to three other pillars: Socio-Economic Sustainability: By involving local producers and farmers in tourism initiatives, such as farm breakfasts and cooking courses, Alta Badia strengthens the local economy and community spirit. Cultural Sustainability: The "Nos Ladins-We Ladins" events offer visitors the opportunity to connect with Ladin culture through authentic experiences, fostering cultural appreciation and preservation. Sustainable Management: An internal "green team" works tirelessly on implementing sustainable practices throughout the region. This commitment ensures long-term environmental and cultural well-being.

I hate cutting trees down, it’s happening far too often here n all parts of Florida as people keep relocating. However we needed more sun for the food forest so had 3 trees cut down this week. We will be replanting with trees, bushes and other plants that provide food and support beneficial insects in the newly opened sunny area. #ocalafoodforest #foodforest #growfood #sunnyspot #ediblelandscaping https://www.instagram.com/p/CnQDdy6uP4i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I would probably roast them and/or make a peanut butter alternative with them

got hazelnuts because I was enthralled by the concept of buying loose hazelnuts by the gram. What can you. make with hazelnuts.

We have a pecan tree at home in Johannesburg but I feel like hazelnuts don't go in banana muffins quite as well. Maybe not! I haven't cooked with them before.

What is community gardening?

Community gardening is a great way to get involved in your local food system and meet other gardeners. It is also a way to beautify your neighborhood and build community spirit. Community gardens can be found in urban, suburban, and rural areas across the United States. They come in all shapes and sizes, from small plots in backyards to large shared spaces in parks or on vacant land.

Community gardens are usually managed by a group of people who come together to plan, plant, and maintain the garden. This can be done informally, such as by neighbors who decide to start a garden together, or through a more formal organization, such as a community garden association or city park department.

Plots in community gardens are generally leased or rented to individual growers. The size of the plot varies depending on the size of the overall garden, but is typically around 10×10 feet.

Gardeners are responsible for planting, watering, weeding, and harvesting their own plot. Some community gardens also have common areas where everyone works together to grow crops that can be shared amongst the group, such as fruits and vegetables.

Community gardening provides many benefits to both individuals and communities. For gardeners, it is a way to get fresh air and exercise, grow healthy food, and connect with nature.

For communities, community gardens can help beautify neighborhoods, provide green space for residents to enjoy, create social cohesion, and promote sustainability.

History of community gardening

In the early 1900s, community gardens began popping up in cities across the United States as a way to provide fresh food for residents and beautify neighborhoods.

The Victory Gardens of World War II increased the popularity of home gardening, and by the 1970s, community gardens were being established in urban areas all over the world.

Today, community gardens come in all shapes and sizes, from small plots in backyards to large-scale farming operations.

They provide fresh produce for families, foster a sense of community among neighbors, and give people a chance to connect with nature.

How to start a community garden

Community gardens are a great way to get involved in your local community and to meet other like-minded people who are passionate about gardening. They are also a great way to learn new gardening techniques and to share your knowledge with others.

If you are interested in starting a community garden, the first step is to find out if there is already a garden in your area. If so, you can contact the garden coordinator to find out how you can get involved.

If there is not already a garden in your area, you can start one! The first step is to find a suitable location for the garden.

Once you have found a location, you will need to secure funding and volunteers. Once you have done this, you can start planning and planting your community garden!

This is Why Permaculture is a Step in the Right Direction #ecosystem #foodforest #conservation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ayZIdQNA-s A Mini Community Food Project With BIG Environmental Benefits Food forests are unique permaculture forest ecosystems with an abundance of edible plants and trees. These spaces improve biodiversity, carbon sequestration, climate change mitigation, and habitat fragmentation, and offer educational and mental health benefits. These are also important projects for food security and food sovereignty and offer an alternative to traditional agriculture in some cases #ecosystem #gardening #naturalhabitat #tree #forest #biodiversity #conservation #agriculture #farming #food #carbon #climatechange ⚠️Disclaimer: I do not accept any liability for any loss or damage incurred from you acting or not acting as a result of watching any of my publications.

Heute besichtigen wir den Waldgarten von Sandra und Michael (Foodforest Design). Ihr Waldgarten ist erst ein Jahr alt und macht bereits viel her. Auf einem 5.000 qm großem Grundstück haben sie 300 Bäume gepflanzt. Sogar eine kleine Kokosnuss wächst dort. Dazwischen gibt's Gemüsebeete.

Wir lernen etwas über die Bodenaufbereitung (mulchen, mulchen, mulchen), den Wasserhaushalt, dem natürlichen Düngen mit Urin, wozu Pflanzenkohle genutzt wird, wozu es Teiche braucht und vieles mehr.

"Challenges of Maintaining a Food Forest: Exploring Sustainability Efforts for a Greener Future"

Here a social post that highlights the challenges of maintaining a food forest and promotes the idea of sustainability:

#HeavenOnEarth is right at our doorstep, but it takes effort to maintain it. My 2000 plant food forest is a labor of love, but each day brings new challenges in keeping it sustainable. From soil erosion to pests, it can be overwhelming.

That's why initiatives like #EcoPlanetFarm are so important. They're making it easier for people to live sustainably and take care of our planet. Together, we can create a world where everyone has access to fresh, healthy food without harming the environment.

Let's work together to make our homes true havens of sustainability and help preserve the beauty of our planet! 🌍🌳🌿 #SustainabilityGoals #GreenLiving #FoodForest #HealthyEating
