I am impressed, clearly we need to adapt a more eco friendly system of farming all round. Thank you for this service to human and nature Mr. Caleb

This man is a national treasure. The govt needs to hire him and go around the country starting with dry areas that receive heavy rains twice or once a year and teach them food forests. Wow am sure this food forest type of farming applies to many other fruit trees or all fruit trees. Why is this not been done in Kenya on commercial farms.

Thank you for your kind and encouraging comment. I'd love for the govt to hire people like Caleb to spearhead a new revolution in farming. It'd be so awesome and transformative. Food security and income generation and environmental stewardship can all be achieved on small parcels of land. Why it's not being done commercially? People often need income short-term and money is generally super tight. So it's rare for people to have the foresight to plant a food forest (which admittedly takes some years to fully mature and be productive).

In Ethiopia, in the south and the south west where coffee grows, it has been a thousand years tradition to grow coffee in a shade. It was in 19th century that colonizers started growing coffee in a different way.

Exactly. As Caleb describes and demonstrates so beautifully, shade-grown coffee is really far superior in ecological value it provides (as well as taste).

I am watching from Machakos County Kenya and wondering how l can get my one acre farm develop into such a beautiful permaculture homestead! Great job!
@GrowingSmall3 жыл бұрын
Couple of ideas...get in touch with people like Caleb or others I've featured on the channel...do a permaculture course...visit food forests and learn all about them...just get started planting trees and taking care of them...everything else can come later!

Do the coffee farmers know this. Wow. Imagine the coffee farmers with hundreds of acres in Kenya growing coffee in a forestry like climate. They would get money not only from coffee but avacado, bananas , beans, pumpkin on top of that save costs on use of chemicals, and growing quality coffee and real organic coffee. Then package their coffee as forest coffee to fetch premium prices. This information needs to be passed on to the coffee board and coffee farmers in Kenya.
