Biointensive GROW - nurture Biointensive

John Jeavons in 1972 started the program sustainable mini-farming" Grow BIOINTENSIVE .

Its biologically intensive method, now adopted in 130 countries, is inspired by the work of well-known horticulturist Alan Chadwick, and combines the most vital agricultural techniques modern ingenuity of ancient civilizations.
The basic idea is that a large scale production of food in a small plot of Ground yourself by maintaining healthy soil and using a minimum amount of water.

According to Jeavons, traditional farming practices deplete our soil from 18 to 80 times faster than the non-use to regenerate it.
The secret method "Grow BIOINTENSIVE is the ability to regenerate the earth at speeds up to 60 times higher than in nature.
Each region of the world, however, requires a formula to measure. The oppressed and impoverished areas by drought obviously derive great benefit from this method, which uses much less water than the food product, but warns that Jeavons' Grow BIOINTENSIVE, or approaches to agricultural altrettanto efficaci, dovrebbero essere applicati subito, prima che sia troppo tardi.

Quali sono i benefici dell'agricoltura “GROW BIOINTENSIVE”?

Il più importate è che con questa metedologia si ottengono alimenti e calorie necessari per una persona con un piccolo appezzamento di terreno di circa 371,60 m2 (4000 ft2) pari a un quadrato con 19,26 mt per lato.

Rispetto all'agricoltura commerciale si utilizza :

• da 67% a 88% in meno di acqua

• da 50% a 100% in meno di fertilizzanti

• 99% less energy.

also agriculture GROW BIOINTENSIVE:

• produces from 2 to 6 times more food

• regenerates the ground at a speed 60 times faster than nature

• reduced by more than half the surface to grow

The site http://www.growbiointensive.org/index.html Biointensive devoted to agriculture, farming techniques used with this practice are summarized in 8 points I have set forth below in the original language:

• Double-Dug, Raised Beds

• Composting

• Intensive Planting

• Companion Planting

• Carbon Farming

• Calorie Farming

• The Use of Open-Pollinated Seeds

• A Whole-System Farming Method

follows a free translation Description of these techniques always taken from the site growbiointensive.org:

Most life in nature is through the soil, water, air and sun.
The practice of soil preparation GROW Biointensive is through the creation of seed beds increased with more surface area to maximize the effect of natural processes.
Through the double-digging, with loose soil to a depth of 60 cm (24 inches), the aeratura soil facilitates root growth and increases water retention.
health and vigor of the soil are maintained through the use of the compound. A more
ristretto spazio di piantatura è usato per proteggere microrganismi del suolo, riduce la perdita d'acqua, e massimizza la produzione.
“Companion planting” facilita l'uso ottimale di nutrienti, luce ed acqua, incoraggia gli insetti non nocivi e crea un mini-ecosistema attivo nel giardino.
L'attenzione sulla produzione di calorie per il coltivatore e di carbone per il suolo assicurano che sia il coltivatore che il suolo saranno alimentati adeguatamente e che l'attività agricola sarà sostenibile. L'uso di semi “open-pollinated” aiuta a conservare la diversità genetica e aiuta l'agricoltore a sviluppare proprie coltivazioni acclimatate.
Tutti i componenti di questo sistema devono essere usati insieme per un effetto ottimale e per evitare l'impoverimento del suolo.

Il testo originale :

Most life in nature occurs at the interface of soil, water, air and sun. GROW BIOINTENSIVE soil preparation practices create growing beds with more surface area to maximize the effect of nature’s life processes. Double-dug beds, with soil loosened to a depth of 24 inches, aerate the soil, facilitate root growth, and improve water retention. The health and vigor of the soil are maintained through the use of compost. Close plant spacing is used to protect soil microorganisms, reduce water loss, and maximize yields. Companion planting facilitates the optimal use of nutrients, light and water, encourages beneficial insects and Creates a vibrant mini-ecosystem Within the garden. A focus on the production of calories for the farmer and carbon for the soil That ensures Both the farmer and the soil will be adequately fed and That the farm will be Sustainable. The use of open-pollinated seeds helps to preserve genetic diversity and enables Gardeners to Develop Their Own acclimatized cultivars. All of the components of this system must be used together for optimum effect and to Avoid Depleting the soil.

At this point the question arises:

Biointensive agriculture and organic farming in general, will be able to meet demand nearly seven billion human beings?

If this were possible, an agriculture that uses up to 99% less energy than current agricultural practices, could be used as the sole source of renewable energy only.
freeing agriculture on oil and fossil fuels, we guarantee our future and the future of our children.
