GROW BIOINTENSIVE Sustainable Mini-Farming makes high " Green Revolution " -type yields possible organically, while using just a fraction of the water, fertilizer and energy resources, and open-pollinated seeds. The presenter of the workshop will be Jeavons, Director of Ecology Action and author of the best-selling book How to Grow More Vegetables, Fruits, Nuts, Berries, Grains and Other Crops Than You Ever Thought Possible On Less Land Than You Can Imagine, (which is now in its newly published seventh edition and has been translated into eight languages, including Braille). GROW BIOINTENSIVE Workshops have been attended by people from many different states and countries and as well as by people from all walks of life-farmers, gardeners, teachers, and representatives of large and small organizations. The Tuesday workshop will consist of lectures, discussion and demonstration, and will include a full range of information on: Soil Preparation, Sustainable Soil Fertility, Fertilization, Compost, Compost Crops, Efficient Resource Use, Crops for Full Nutrition and Crops for Income, as well as the perspective and whole-system approach with which to tie all these topics together. The workshop will be fun as well as instructive and a unique chance to network and meet others who have a similar interest in sustainable food raising and living. For full details and application forms, see www.johnjeavons.info. Based on scientific principles and successfully tested agricultural techniques which are thousands of years old, GROW BIOINTENSIVE is a higher-yielding, resource-conserving method of growing food that has proven its effectiveness around the world. These techniques can be the first step towards achieving food self- sufficiency while living more gently on the Earth. In a world with decreasing soil productivity and increasing population, this efficient food-raising approach, which works with nature, is being used by more and more people.
