Outcomes

There are several outcomes that we seek to achieve these are out lined below;
This is an evolving document and as such will change as new challenges present them selves.

• Naturally balanced organic farmland
• A profitable, Sustainable organic Poly-culture farm
• A stabile micro social -environment that displays the individuals stewardship and participation in the project
• Exposure and education of people to organic Integrated Poly-culture principles
• To duplicate successes here, in new locations

Goals and strategies

Naturally balanced organic farmland

In the modern world farmland productivity is sustained with chemicals and destructive farming practises. This will by reversed by substituting these practices with perma-culture techniques and integrated poly-culture's wholistic approach.

A profitable, Sustainable organic Poly-culture farm

There is a per-conceived idea that the only way to make money out of farming is to grow one thing and lot's of it. We are going to change that!

A stabile micro- social environment that displays the individuals stewardship of the land, and participation in the project.

We will utilise and develop a modern tribal model.

Exposure and education of people to organic Integrated Poly-culture principles

Educate people that there are alternatives to the chemical norm.

To duplicate successes here, in new locations

The farm is a collection of units fitted together to create a whole. By developing these units and a data-base of information to a point where they are stand alone, we will be able to offer the "best case scenario" on most blocks of land.

The goals and strategies to get there

To return conventional farmland to it's natural balance

• To integrate an organic aquaculture system into the irrigation water supply, Thus adding the nutrients back into the soil where the plants can use them.
• Design and build a purpose built composting plant to process waste vegetation.
• To promote biological activity in the soil, by introducing organic matter and not using any harmful chemicals or activities.
• By using perma-culture techniques to reverse and repair the damage already done to the soil.
• By following agro forestry procurers in reforested areas along streams and gullies as well as along ridges and steep hillsides.
• Always rotating crops and growing many different things in close proximately to each other.
• Integrating Bio-dynamics and developing the technology
• Reduce our use of fossil fuels, by integrating solar and wind power to supply our energy requirements were possible.

To provide evidence that organic Integrated poly-culture is financially viable

• By developing an integration process that works on sound financial planing and consuming waste products rather than buying in new raw product
• Fair budgets and tight audits
• To be paying bills and repaid any outstanding debits with in three years.
• On going workshops and field days.

To develop systems to show how Integrated poly-culture structure works in a micro-social environment

• By developing a structure of stewardship were the co-workers each develop there own talents as applicable to the job requirements, and rewarding them by sharing the profits generated.
• Audit of social structure and documentation of changes as they happen.
• A full report on the progress of ongoing research and crediting those responsible.

To educate people on Sustainable Integrated Poly-culture principles

• On going workshops and field day's
• Through the tourist experience .

To create a duplicatable / customisable models for use in new locations

• By documenting each units performance intervidgualey, whilst integration happens externally development occurs internally, each as a separate entity and a part of a whole, this nurtures the entity to it's fullest potential possible. By integrating these blocks as required we can build the best possible outcome.

The practical application of solar and wind energy in remote locations

• The nature of this project utilises many aspects of solar and wind energy to generate electricity. The autonomy of automated fish feeders that also collect data about water quality and composition as well as running air pumps. Necessitates the use of our duel supply energy systems to ensure a consistent and uninterrupted performance of these units.
• Remote areas that need water pumps were the transmission of power by over head wires is not only ugly but difficult and expensive, can be alleviated by soler/wind mills that pump water and generate power to charge batteries so electric pumps can take over when the sun/wind stops.
• Centralised cooking and amenities blocks allow for collection of solar power were it is going to be used, solar hot water for cooking cleaning and amenities. By centralising the processing facility as well, has many advantages can be utilised, freezers chillers and cool rooms in one building will all use the same refrigeration unit, a large roof area for solar panels and solar hot water as well as room for battery banks (primary power for this facility will be mains power)

The time line

The time line is flexible in so far as what is already here, from commencement six months is required to secure a suitable block of land, survey and design, apply for all appropriate certificates and clearances. DPI and EPA involvement at this stage will keep them happy and co-operative. Local government has shown some interest in this project already this should ease our passage through local government process.
