R&D Practical Solutions

• Research, documentation and development practical solutions to major challenges of our time including water shortages, loss of biodiversity, food production and strengthening local economies.
• Research & documentation of a case study over three years producing an annual report of solutions trials and results.

Split budget across our four main themes following the seasons:

• optimizing irrigation practices
• maintenance/repairs to irrigation system
• documenting & optimizing water catchment systems already in place

• document participate and promote local exchange practices
• collaborate with local initiatives including the seed-bank, permaculture initiatives

• optimizing and document farm harvests from main crop, foraging and wild foods

• put in place scientific survey practices to document changing levels in biodiversity
• document creation and effects of micro climates through changes in water management

• Anton Oussik - researcher, reporting officer
• Aimee Fenech - researcher
• Paco & Adrian Garcia - research consultant / specialist organic farm work
• Ras Creswell - adhoc local permaculture consultant

For this project we have a budget of 10,000 GBP per year from 2023 to the end of 2025.
