Frontier Agriculture takes the most sustainable growing methods from around the world and consistently looks for the next frontier of improvement- to influence and push the status-quo into a better, brighter future. Frontier farming/gardening is inspired by several current and historic practices/movements- namely:
- Organic methods/restrictions (*yet pushes beyond them)
- Biodynamic methods
- Permaculture
- the “Cardboard Method”
- sustainable agriculture
- regenerative agriculture
- biological farming
- no-dig gardening
- no-till farming (no plowing, no tractors- respecting the life in the soil, and benefitting from it in a mutual way)
Frontier farming and gardening aims to do the following:
- grow the highest-quality, nutrient-rich produce possible
- provide benefit to the environment, and all its inhabitants, including doing no harm to it or any living beings.
- create a method of sustainable agriculture that shows our worthiness to expand not only the style of agriculture, but the human species.
- create an ever-increasing abundance of edible product, allowing for bug/bird/animal “loss” and providing nutriment for an ever-increasing population.
- inspire others to learn and join the Frontier Agriculture approach, and feed the world in a humane, and expansive way.
- Constantly review new potential for Ephemeralization-(a concept of Buckminster Fuller)- doing more and more with less and less, until we can do everything with nothing.
- doing research and trials, as well as scouring the globe for inspiration and successful methods of agriculture that benefits all involved *including the plants and animals.
- Eventually leads to Win-Win Capitalism (my own term) -a new form of business structure, where the only ventures/projects that get “funded” are those which are universally beneficial, and include 50-50 win-win agreements as a core of the model, where we rise together, at the expense of none.
- Also eventually, aims to master the fundamentals of frontier agriculture and expand into local communities through the Natureland Jr./Berry Machi project (*in planning) where people can pick their own highest-quality produce within walking distance form their kitchens, semi-managed by volunteers.
