September 16, 2022. –The Foundation is pleased to announce its support for a small-scale permaculture garden test project, started in May 2022, which aims to examine the technique, the effectiveness of the cultivation principle, the production capacity, the profitability and the sustainability in the short, medium and long term. This form of agriculture aims to draw inspiration from nature to develop agricultural systems in synergy, based on the diversity of crops, their resilience and their natural productivity. A permaculture garden therefore represents an almost autonomous, perennial system, where the gardener lets nature take its course instead of going against it.

 

This test is included in the objectives of the Foundation with regard to research and development in the field of agriculture to provide concrete and effective solutions with the aim of achieving food self-sufficiency, without resorting to costly and complicated installations.

 

At the beginning of June, noticing that the plants were on the point of dying, an exhaustive analysis was carried out to check the state of the soil and the water. The analysis report carried out by a certified chemical laboratory determined that the soil and water were contaminated. So, based on this observation, a solution had to be found quickly. By applying a new method made available to the creators of the project, i.e. a unique bacteriological process, one hundred percent natural, developed by a private partner, the health of the plants in the garden has improved, to such an extent that in two weeks the growth of the plants had doubled and more than half were already bearing fruits and vegetables.  

 

Until today, the results go beyond expectations and bring a glimmer of hope for the establishment in different regions of several gardens made up with this method, which by the way, is based on ancestral and natural techniques. No use of chemicals, nature takes care of everything with, of course, a little help given by the arms of man and by Mother Nature.

 

This pilot project proving conclusive, the Foundation is more certain than ever to establish this type of garden, on a larger scale, within the communities that its organization intends to set up and wishes to do so for others, in several places.
