地域の皆さんと一緒に昨年までに植樹した山紫陽花を観ながらのトレイルライド。

Pineapple season! Love how these fruit cups are constantly changing. While savoring this, I wondered to myself why people who live in rural areas aka farmers/abitan are made fun of when we eat and live better than anyone in the cities can ever afford. Progress and wealth really is a matter of perspective. ・・・ #growninhaiti #Pineapple #guava #papaya #lime #mango #fruitcocktail #fruits #tropicalfruits #foresttoface #foodforest #agroforestry #freshanddirect #organic #sustainablefoodsystems #abitan4life #perspective #nogmos #nopesticides #thinkglobalactlocal #diversity #seasonal #reforestation https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6efs-Faz3/?igshid=e3ns0m29b72o

Over 3 dozen new trees planted just these past couple of days including Malay Apple, water apple, black sapote, canistel, star apple, star fruit, sausage tree, cola nut, abiu, nan doc mai mangos, rambutan, durian, date palm, and lots of guava. I’m sure you guys can feel my excitement ☺️ To think, this little bit of effort will feed hundreds for years to come and provide thousands of seeds to continue growing from. ・・・ #growninhaiti #regorestation #diversity #variety #mulch #agroforestry #livingseedbank #foodsecurity #sustainablefoodsystems #polyculture #thinkglobalactlocal #haiti #ayiti #mountainlife #plantatree #slowfood #abundance #foodforest #organic #nogmos #nopesticides #noherbicodes #nurtureyournature https://www.instagram.com/p/CDBVQh_Fi32/?igshid=migbsx4iqbjt

Have you ever experienced the feeling of abundance at your doorstep? No? What’s stopping you? There was a time, not so long ago, where people supported themselves by eating what grew in their own regions and no more. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, an intense population occurred, followed by technological advancements that allowed for food to be transported from warm places thousands of miles away to supply hungry people during the winter. Majority of our current problems come from the the way people in cities and industrialized regions live. Over harvesting resources from the land, through mining, farming, forestry, and oil fields to produce consumable resources that are then mindlessly discarded. In a failed effort to fix these problems, society has turned to technology to try to fix symptoms rather than going to the root cause of our issues. Inefficient and wasteful use of energy. We can either take on the personal responsibility to care for ourselves and our environment or we can surrender to the gradual downhill decline of our society until it inevitably collapses. ・・・ #growninhaiti #Thinkglobalactlocal #foodforthought #foodforest #sustainablefoodsystems #buylocal #zerowaste #banana #organic #treeripened #foodsecurity #nurtureyournature #haiti #ayiti #growth #nogmos #nopesticides #slowfood #eatwhatyougrow #qualityoverquantity https://www.instagram.com/p/CCGnAvflD7M/?igshid=rgq82i16hmx4

Today’s small harvest was enough to share with 9 additional households and still have more than enough. In a matter of two days, I’ll be harvesting just as much, if not double this quantity from literally a small handful (5) of our trees. So glad they everything isn’t ready all at once 😳 ・・・ #growninhaiti #avocados #papayas #breadfruit #coconut #mammeeapple #foodforest #sustainablefoodsystems #agroforestry #sharingiscaring #abundance #harvest #community #growth #foodsecurity #thinkglobalactlocal https://www.instagram.com/p/CCH0jRHFv8E/?igshid=wcm8b7uf41h2
