In forestry we are working to implement this solution approach in the NZ native forests to bring about the rebalance of the Kauri forests in the North Island (please see report on Kauri on our www.EcoGrape.com website)
Results
What is the environmental or ecological challenge you are targeting with your solution?
Reduction and minimization of toxic input and run-off of sustainable solutions to provide an alternative dis-ease balance, also called pest control in conventional terms, to correct soil and plant problems
Describe the context in which you are operating
Context is practical work on own 300 ha property and cooperation with many farmers, orchardists, viticulturists in New Zealand, the pacific region and Europe
How did you impact natural resource use and greenhouse gas emissions?
The biodiversity is improved and/or reestablished by the minimum intervention to natural eco-habitat dynamics and its reestablishment based on the zero impact to the self organizing principle of natural cycles
Language(s)
English, German
Water
Water and waterways are kept clean or are given a chance to cleanse themselves by total avoidance of toxic run-ff
Food Security/Nutrition
Food security and nutritional quality are improved by total avoidance of toxic inputs
Economic/Sustainable Development
The economic and sustainable development of the human population engaged in this process is improved by this minimum intervention process because of its communal and civic nature where social costs are turned into direct benefit
Climate
As mentioned before the carbon footprint is close to zero and thus the influence on the climate is minimal
Sustainability
It relies on market-based revenue and not on any grants or subsidies
Return on investment
It is a work in progress and cannot be assessed right now
Replication and Scale
How could we successfully replicate this solution elsewhere?
Funding is to be based on any individual situation and location
