I randomly found this grant:
https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/358791

And came up with this proposal..
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W2ky5g3XQo1cY50Kc3dcBZP64mC1K6FsFcwQFdjAvso/edit?usp=sharing

Would anyone be interested in joining in the creation and implementation of this project?

In the Puerto Escondido regional area or perhaps Morelos. It is sort of up in the air where I want to land and I am planning on trying to make arrangements on WWOOF farms next year that have data access so I can both work and pay since I want to keep my full-time remote job. Really I am curious about the more desert and coastal regions.

Hey all!

I am moving to MX part-time until I can fully transition to living there. I intend on farming, however I am very limited in my knowledge of the ecology there. Does anyone have any hands-on experience that can give me words of wisdom? Or any book recommendations? I have taken a permaculture approach to high desert areas, along with semi-tropical and tropical areas. But there is nothing like feet on the ground wisdom.. or books with a very specific knowledge/informaiton base.

Thanks in advance!
Amanda

Dear fellow Permaculturists,

I am currently recruiting for a large project- the development of an online conceptual toolbox for assisting in the change of urban areas into more agrarian ones. We need all hands! If you are interested in contributing in this act of service, please comment and or message directly with the best email to have a follow up conversation. Attached is the formal invitation and working template. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Have a great weekend ahead!

Hello friends!

I would love to hear from you. I am looking to create a master list of techniques to manage waste.
This is a very large task and includes so much.. from re-purposing, up-cycling, biological waste management, and the variety of different composting techniques available.
Whether it is waste from you farm, your garden, your animals, your household or your community. ALL THE WASTE ~

My intention is to create a demonstration lab that functions as a community compost center, research and development center in waste management, and helps to make regenerative agriculture education more accessible- all while creating a good amount of usable output for revenue.  But I need to know all the ways one can harness waste as a gift- how it can be transformed- so I can create a plan of what I can demo in my region and land.

Help!

I am about to undertake the new project of responsibly foraging herbs/foods and growing micro-greens to generate income.
I have the benefit of living on a wonderful island of abundance, right next to a large city- my goal is to find good market prices for direct restaurant sales by getting this conversation going, and helping others get on track if they want to take this wonderful route of bringing in monies.

I will be foraging stinging nettle, ramps, mushrooms, and more things as the season changing, and my focus will be on spicy micro-greens.
In the Pacific Northwest, it is my surprise, that I have heard you do not need a permit or license to forage and sell if it is your own land- but it differs with parks and recreational areas.
I am still trying to work out pricing- as far as I have come up with nettle gets around $9/#, ramps $16/#, fiddleheads $18/# - any suggestions welcome.
I am under the impression that sometimes restaurants will offer a going rate they already pay to others that may distribute to them, as well...?

Do you need a permit or license where you are? How much are the going rates and for what? What are things do you go after?
