I have been beating the drum now for about 6 years on the importance of the solve-all ‘Nutritional Diversity Diet‘ including climate change conversation, food crisis, health crisis, economic disaster, universal sustainability, freedom, and quality of life/ athletic performance enhancement that came to me on an unbelievable fight with a plague that consumes so many people today.

If a culture demands a Nutritional Diversity Diet consisting of a minimum of 60 different species consumed in a week, with a focus on living plant food directly from the plant and designed by strategic produce, most of which is exotic and must be cultivated for performance purpose, several significant changes and adaptations would be necessary and would be caused:

Farmers would need to adopt polyculture a.k.a permaculture farming methods, growing a wide variety of plants simultaneously. Specialized knowledge and techniques would be required to cultivate exotic species, including understanding their specific growing conditions, pest management, and harvesting methods. Implementation of permaculture principles would become more widespread to sustainably manage the land and support the growth of diverse crops. Permaculture farming, which enhances natural life, would replace monoculture farming, which is damaging to nature. This shift would support healthier ecosystems, provide habitats for various insects, birds, and other wildlife, and improve soil health due to diverse planting and reduced monoculture practices, enhancing nutrient cycling and reducing erosion.

Establishment of seed banks and plant nurseries focusing on diverse and exotic species would be necessary. International collaboration and exchange programs would facilitate the import of exotic plant species and their integration into local agriculture. Use of greenhouses, hydroponics, and aquaponics would be necessary to cultivate species that require specific climates or conditions not naturally present in the region. Investments in technology for climate control, soil management, and irrigation systems would support the growth of a wide range of species.

Chefs and home cooks would need to experiment with new recipes and cooking techniques to incorporate a wide variety of plant species into their diets. Culinary education would expand to include training on how to prepare and utilize exotic and diverse plant foods. Traditional dishes might be adapted to include a broader range of ingredients. New cultural festivals and events could emerge, celebrating the diversity of food and the unique benefits of different plants. “Farm to table,” is already an underground cultural phrase for the health enthusiast. Small cultivations, even five-gallon bucket stacks on balconies would be employed with the education regarding chlorophyll, and the living electric plant essences that wild animals in excellent health dental and physical without medical care institutions thrive on. We are working on digital education and dedicated community building now for this interest.

Increased demand for a wide variety of plant foods would lead to the expansion of markets and distribution networks. Farmers’ markets, specialty grocery stores, and online platforms would proliferate, offering a diverse range of fresh produce. New jobs in agriculture, horticulture, culinary arts, and food distribution would be created. Educational programs and workshops focusing on sustainable farming, plant cultivation, and nutritional diversity would provide training and skill development.

Greater agricultural biodiversity would support healthier ecosystems, providing habitats for various insects, birds, and other wildlife. Soil health would improve due to diverse planting and reduced monoculture practices, enhancing nutrient cycling and reducing erosion. Adoption of permaculture and organic farming techniques would reduce the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, leading to a decrease in environmental pollution. Emphasis on local cultivation of diverse species would reduce the carbon footprint associated with transporting exotic produce over long distances.

Increased consumption of a wide variety of plant species would provide a broader range of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other phytonutrients, contributing to overall health and well-being. The diet’s focus on living plant food directly from the plant would ensure maximum freshness and nutrient density. Potential reduction in lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease due to a more balanced and nutrient-rich diet. Increased awareness and education about the benefits of plant-based diets could lead to healthier eating habits across the population.

Some individuals and communities might resist changes to traditional dietary practices and preferences. Efforts would be needed to educate and encourage people to embrace the benefits of a nutritional diversity diet. Significant investments in infrastructure, research, and education would be required to support the transition to a diverse and exotic plant-based diet. Ensuring equitable access to diverse plant foods for all segments of the population would be crucial to avoid disparities in health benefits.

In conclusion, demanding a nutritional diversity diet with a focus on consuming a wide variety of living plant foods directly from the plant would lead to profound changes in agricultural practices, culinary arts, market dynamics, environmental sustainability, and public health. While the transition would pose challenges, the potential benefits to individual health and ecosystem health could be substantial.

SPANISH

He estado tocando el tambor durante aproximadamente 6 años sobre la importancia de la ‘Dieta de Diversidad Nutricional’ que lo resuelve todo, incluida la conversación sobre el cambio climático, la crisis alimentaria, la crisis de salud, el desastre económico, la sostenibilidad universal, la libertad y la calidad de vida/rendimiento deportivo. mejora que me llegó en una lucha increíble contra una plaga que consume a tanta gente hoy en día.

Si una cultura exige una dieta de diversidad nutricional que consista en un mínimo de 60 especies diferentes consumidas en una semana, centrándose en alimentos vegetales vivos directamente de la planta y diseñada con productos estratégicos, la mayoría de los cuales son exóticos y deben cultivarse con fines de rendimiento. , serían necesarios varios cambios y adaptaciones importantes que provocarían:

Los agricultores necesitarían adoptar métodos de policultivo, también conocidos como permacultura, cultivando una amplia variedad de plantas simultáneamente. Se necesitarían conocimientos y técnicas especializados para cultivar especies exóticas, incluida la comprensión de sus condiciones de crecimiento específicas, manejo de plagas y métodos de recolección. La implementación de principios de permacultura se generalizaría para gestionar de manera sostenible la tierra y apoyar el crecimiento de diversos cultivos. La agricultura de permacultura, que mejora la vida natural, reemplazaría a la agricultura de monocultivo, que es perjudicial para la naturaleza. Este cambio apoyaría ecosistemas más saludables, proporcionaría hábitats para diversos insectos, aves y otros animales salvajes, y mejoraría la salud del suelo gracias a la diversidad de plantaciones y la reducción de prácticas de monocultivo, mejorando el ciclo de nutrientes y reduciendo la erosión.

Sería necesario el establecimiento de bancos de semillas y viveros de plantas centrados en especies diversas y exóticas. Los programas internacionales de colaboración e intercambio facilitarían la importación de especies de plantas exóticas y su integración en la agricultura local. El uso de invernaderos, hidroponía y acuaponía sería necesario para cultivar especies que requieren climas o condiciones específicas que no están presentes naturalmente en la región. Las inversiones en tecnología para el control del clima, la gestión del suelo y los sistemas de riego apoyarían el crecimiento de una amplia gama de especies.

Los chefs y cocineros caseros necesitarían experimentar con nuevas recetas y técnicas de cocina para incorporar una amplia variedad de especies de plantas a sus dietas. La educación culinaria se ampliaría para incluir capacitación sobre cómo preparar y utilizar alimentos vegetales exóticos y diversos. Los platos tradicionales podrían adaptarse para incluir una gama más amplia de ingredientes. Podrían surgir nuevos festivales y eventos culturales que celebren la diversidad de alimentos y los beneficios únicos de las diferentes plantas. “De la granja a la mesa” ya es una frase cultural clandestina para los entusiastas de la salud. Se emplearían pequeños cultivos, incluso cubos de cinco galones apilados en los balcones, con la educación sobre la clorofila y las esencias vivas de plantas eléctricas de las que prosperan los animales salvajes con excelente salud dental y física sin instituciones de atención médica. Estamos trabajando en educación digital y construcción de comunidades dedicadas ahora a este interés.

Una mayor demanda de una amplia variedad de alimentos vegetales conduciría a la expansión de los mercados y las redes de distribución. Proliferarían los mercados de agricultores, las tiendas de comestibles especializadas y las plataformas en línea, que ofrecerían una amplia gama de productos frescos. Se crearían nuevos empleos en agricultura, horticultura, artes culinarias y distribución de alimentos. Los programas educativos y talleres centrados en la agricultura sostenible, el cultivo de plantas y la diversidad nutricional proporcionarían capacitación y desarrollo de habilidades.

Una mayor biodiversidad agrícola apoyaría ecosistemas más saludables, proporcionando hábitats para diversos insectos, aves y otros animales salvajes. La salud del suelo mejoraría gracias a la plantación diversa y a la reducción de las prácticas de monocultivo, lo que mejoraría el ciclo de nutrientes y reduciría la erosión. La adopción de técnicas de permacultura y agricultura orgánica reduciría la necesidad de fertilizantes y pesticidas químicos, lo que conduciría a una disminución de la contaminación ambiental. El énfasis en el cultivo local de diversas especies reduciría la huella de carbono asociada con el transporte de productos exóticos a largas distancias.

Un mayor consumo de una amplia variedad de especies de plantas proporcionaría una gama más amplia de vitaminas, minerales, antioxidantes y otros fitonutrientes, contribuyendo a la salud y el bienestar general. El enfoque de la dieta en alimentos vegetales vivos directamente de la planta garantizaría la máxima frescura y densidad de nutrientes. Posible reducción de enfermedades relacionadas con el estilo de vida, como obesidad, diabetes y enfermedades cardíacas, debido a una dieta más equilibrada y rica en nutrientes. Una mayor concienciación y educación sobre los beneficios de las dietas basadas en plantas podría conducir a hábitos alimentarios más saludables en toda la población.

Algunas personas y comunidades podrían resistirse a los cambios en las prácticas y preferencias dietéticas tradicionales. Serían necesarios esfuerzos para educar y alentar a las personas a aprovechar los beneficios de una dieta de diversidad nutricional. Importantes inversiones en infraestructura, investigación y educación.

ABSTRACT

Guerrilla Permaculture is the design and execution of permaculture in nature.

Ideally, the execution is on land, not owned by anyone, and is accessible simply by the special education itself.

Connected to the performance, health, and longevity of its cultivators and a business they may have at the front end supporting their community with nutritional diversity diet benefits poor people everywhere can regain position in the world. The first clients for excellent nutrition of this level are the oligarchs themselves.

Guerrilla Permaculture trails are set by strategic plant species, maps, and markers where the existing ecology is enhanced by the addition of biochars, earth, and waterworks, and human support in a spirit of love for an enhanced natural relationship. Supporting the bees with associated favorites, the birds in the same manner, constructing excellent, intentional habitats for insects and fungi.

Essentially we are talking about time in nature which is self-development in addition to multidisciplinary nutrition. It would be a huge subtraction if the cultural guidelines was missing deliberate athletic and spiritual training regimens integration. This need for growth and strength building is naturally called for, although it takes someone who really has a well-developed relationship with nature to point out all of these truths.

Everything points us back to nature.

This multidisciplinary Guerrilla Permaculture system could also be used to repair deforestation and urbanization, natural disaster space, etc.  Guerrilla Permaculture, based on the Permaculture Design Manual by Bill Mullison is a new work in very much the opposite direction of the heavy-duty take-over land destruction that has become our current agriculture model [monoculture].

Diverse agriculture culturally seems certain to be alternative thinking as odd as that is; because it is a clear natural and completely nature-based concept. Should it not be alternative, and be mainline, and highly diversified in management, which correctly might be more of you eat what you cultivate, gather, hunt trade for yourself; life altogether would be very different. This scenario could happen any minute with certain disasters or blessings. Guerilla Permaculture is a recipe where this independence and upgrade to health and performance and really should be started everywhere now. This is because as alternative is it may seem it is actually the natural truest freedom and nourishment available.

In simple terms; a trail system in nature where a network of small permaculture food installations and specialized land enhancements would be installed to provide a global network of better food production as well as increased carbon conversion. This system could leave a cancerous behavior and footprint creating a system to begin to create a healthy behavior and carbon-reducing footprint now regardless of land ownership (the myth that man created land) and other essential holdbacks to mankind and natural human evolution.

This program is a diverse nature nurturing system, that offers various deployment options and business models to where poor people can come up, and a sweat economy can grow around biological cultures and better health and performance (quality of life).

Spread out into smaller rural communities and establishing zoned “guerilla permaculture” is natural forests could be the best carbon removal and food crisis solution that is a natural role. Leaving nature completely out of the puzzle is a curious mistake. At the very least a principle from permaculture and natural observation; is that each implementation should serve two or more purposes.

Getting Started

The beauty of starting this is it can be anywhere, there is no importance on location other than the best natural growing places near.

Our structures today (on the norm) do not do this and we miss incredible opportunities because of commercialization and the reduction of care, creativity, and freedom that massive regulations maintain. The modern availability of sustainable power technologies and products to the consumer market also provides a closed system where experiments can be had.

Using “Earthships” and similar designs which started outside of Taos, New Mexico but have since gone worldwide, for one example of the free and biologically more harmonious structures that can use recycled materials for construction. There are many good structure designs out there using natural and low cost means.

The trail systems start with horses likely, but dirtbikes could make for fun, and I often day dream of the fitness-oriented systems.

The trails should parallel a stream at first.

Permaculture is everywhere now, and its adoption to major marketplaces is in a very long infancy. This is caused by the stronghold of major agriculture and the established chain of businesses that work using that model.

We invite all interest groups globally to participate right from their current locations.

We invite all interested parties here to our locations.

Thanks to the hard work of some special young people who also care about their health and the planet’s health; our now worldwide loosnit team has built the interfaces necessary for people anywhere in the world to map and catalog biological efforts, species, and climatic data in real-time. [x] We are still working on bettering this and so many other support models have been created to form an initial online community infrastructure, including new systems education.

The next step of our our nattural human progression and the progression of nature will be in the combination and enhancement of the diversity. Any step in any other direction at this point is a misdirection and a continuation of error. Most modern science is in the “direction of dissection” a “what is it” exploit. While this has yeiled positives, we here go in the direction of “construction” and “what can it all do TOGETHER,” endevor.

In too many ways we have crossed the line, not in population size but in our cultural practices, from false studies to clearly egotistical distortions and more. In other words, it is not our life, but our way of life that is harmful. We know it and have known it, however, making the change is another thing. This is baby step 1 to that change and we are all free to start tomorrow anywhere. We must abandon the current system for the new ones.

Desert cities (you may anyways but be smart and liquidate now!) and establish shrub gardens, and animal farming, and fast! This would be the crisis recipe anyway. Arguably the deeper in the jungle or the forest the better.

Now with the solar panel battery and even Pemberton wheel, this is not going to be hard. It will be easier than it ever has been.

Each site or trail will be fingerprint unique, like everything in nature. Because the cultivator knows the site’s plants he alone has the keys (knowledge) to that Guerilla Permaculture site.

So for a curiously solo solution to the age of insanity, where the data has shown clearly it is a lifestyle, not life itself that is the harm, the change may be pinpointed to the idea that we own land, and not that land is God’s gift and should be used to her fullest potential.  Outside of the fact that it is unreasonable for man to claim land, he did not create it, and furthermore if there is any reason to grant a man land it is because of the way he cares for it; in the pursuit of this important ecological goal, much advancement will be realized for all of humanity. Nature is our best teacher. Again a social-cultural change is to come. Or is to be prevented continually somehow as it has been?

The point addressed is to live in harmony with nature using any available land and be productive, which could be coined as Guerilla Permaculture, a title that describes kinda how to imagine harmonious natural life with intentional production mixed – in my mind, anyway.

As a social-cultural attitude

Gurellia Permaculture as a practice also addresses social issues we face today such as war, such as crime, such as health, and health crises [x]. It’s many times not so much the issue but the way we handle the problem. Today much better solutions are always seemingly available against the decisions those in charge go with. We are sick as a society and this is also the cure for that sickness. By handling today’s issues by focusing on this system we can rehabilitate criminals more productively, effectively, cost-efficiently, and so on. Imagine if we took the war budgets and manpower of the last decade and simply applied them to this. The conversation about the lab and cricket proteins would be gone, the planet would start to become a next-level paradise (which it already is). A deeper appreciation for nature and for life across the board would be very uplifting in much of the social-cultural spectrum. The freedom to explore the arts and sciences is enabled by the fact that there is excellent nutrition everywhere.

We have some serious talent, seriously misdirected right now! [x]

Essentially this culture could start all on its own, and the land does not need to be owned necessarily for this. Would it not be best to find a completely organic fast-acting way to implement it as our main mission now?

Guerilla Permaculture Trail Benefits

Creating permaculture food forestation “trails” along all major U.S. highways, rivers and other trails could have several positive effects on the environment, society, and economy. Permaculture food forests are designed to mimic natural ecosystems and are composed of diverse and sustainable food-producing plants. Here are some potential effects of such an initiative:

A new network of veins transports vital energies back and forth and produces much additional life within them.

1. Environmental benefits:
   • Biodiversity enhancement: The food forests would provide habitats for a wide range of plant and animal species, promoting biodiversity and helping to support pollinators like bees and butterflies.
   • Soil improvement: Permaculture practices, such as mulching and composting, can enhance soil fertility and health, preventing erosion and promoting water retention.
   • Carbon sequestration: Trees and plants in the food forests would act as carbon sinks, helping to mitigate climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
   • Reduced water runoff: The food forests can help reduce water runoff and prevent flooding, as their root systems retain water and reduce the impact of heavy rainfall.
2. Food security and access:
   • Local food production: The food forests would produce a variety of fruits, nuts, and other edible plants, reducing the dependence on distant, resource-intensive agricultural systems and enhancing local food production.
   • Food access in underserved areas: By placing food forests along highways, fresh and nutritious food would be more accessible to communities living in food deserts or underserved regions.
3. Economic advantages:
   • Job creation: Establishing and maintaining these food forests would create employment opportunities, ranging from design and implementation to ongoing management and harvesting.
   • Reduced maintenance costs: Permaculture systems generally require less maintenance and inputs over time, reducing the long-term costs compared to traditional landscapes or maintenance-intensive green spaces.
4. Social and health impacts:
   • Community engagement: The food forests can become communal spaces for people to gather, work together, and learn about sustainable agriculture, fostering a sense of community and connection with nature.
   • Improved public health: Access to fresh and locally grown produce could contribute to better dietary habits and overall public health outcomes.
5. Climate resilience:
   • Diversification of food sources: The food forests would offer a diverse array of crops, making the food system more resilient to climate variability and shocks.
6. Aesthetic and recreational value:
   • Beautification: Transforming roadside areas into food forests would enhance the visual appeal of highways and contribute to more pleasant travel experiences.
   • Recreational opportunities: The food forests could offer recreational activities such as foraging, hiking, and educational programs, fostering a deeper appreciation for nature and sustainable agriculture.

However, it’s essential to consider potential challenges and trade-offs, such as land use and maintenance costs, potential conflicts with existing land use, and ensuring that the food forests are well-designed and managed to avoid invasive species or other unintended negative consequences. Implementation would require collaboration among various stakeholders, including government agencies, local communities, and environmental organizations.

Primary Focus Principles of Permaculture

1. Care for, and Enhancement of the Earth: We prioritize the well-being of the Earth and its ecosystems. By observing and understanding natural patterns, we design landscapes that minimize waste, erosion, and pollution while nurturing soil fertility and promoting biodiversity. We apply known and effective organic land enhancements along our trail and conduct well-planned nurturing operations for optimal performance.
2. Care for People: People are an integral part of the ecological web, and we strive to create spaces that promote community, cooperation, and empowerment. By valuing diversity and fostering a sense of belonging, we nurture strong and resilient communities.
3. Fair Share: In a world of abundance, we believe in sharing resources equitably to ensure that everyone’s needs are met. By embracing sustainable practices, we can regenerate and restore the planet for future generations.

Permaculture Approach

1. Regenerative Agriculture: We embrace regenerative agricultural practices that prioritize soil health and fertility. Through techniques like no-till farming, composting, and cover cropping, we restore the land’s productivity and reduce the need for harmful chemicals.
2. Food Forests: Our food forests mimic the structure of natural ecosystems, creating a diverse and productive landscape. By combining fruit and nut trees, shrubs, vines, and perennial vegetables, we design self-sustaining ecosystems that require minimal maintenance.
3. Water Management: Water is a precious resource, and we employ rainwater harvesting, swales, and greywater systems to make the most of every drop. By designing efficient water management systems, we can thrive even in arid environments.
4. Renewable Energy: Guerrellia Permaculture is committed to transitioning to renewable energy sources. Solar panels, wind turbines, and other sustainable technologies power our operations and reduce our carbon footprint.
5. Education and Outreach: We believe in the power of knowledge and actively engage in educational programs to share permaculture principles with the wider community. Through workshops, seminars, and internships, we empower others to create positive change.

Starting Species

Creating a sustainable guerilla permaculture system in Panama involves selecting a combination of herbs, ground cover food-producing species, native bee honey sources, and edible greens that thrive in the local environment. Here is a list of suitable plants and strategies

herbs

Culantro Eryngium foetidum A tropical herb similar to cilantro used in many local dishes

Lemongrass Cymbopogon citratus Hardy and easy to grow useful for tea and culinary purposes

Oregano Origanum vulgare Thrives in warm climates and is a versatile culinary herb

Basil Ocimum basilicum Several varieties thrive in tropical climates great for culinary uses and attracts pollinators

ground cover food producing species

Peanut Plant Arachis pintoi Provides nitrogen fixation and ground cover edible nuts

Sweet Potato Ipomoea batatas Hardy ground cover provides tubers and edible leaves

Squash Pumpkin Cucurbita spp Covers ground well producing edible fruits and seeds

Pigeon Pea Cajanus cajan Multifunctional plant providing ground cover edible peas and nitrogen fixation

edible greens

Katuk Sauropus androgynous A highly nutritious green that thrives in tropical climates

Moringa Moringa oleifera Leaves are highly nutritious and can be harvested continuously

Chaya Cnidoscolus aconitifolius Also known as tree spinach provides edible leaves

Amaranth Amaranthus spp Leaves are edible and highly nutritious suitable for tropical climates

native bee honey sources

Wildflowers Plant a variety of native wildflowers to support native bee populations

Sunflower Helianthus annuus Provides nectar and pollen for bees

Guava Psidium guajava is Attractive to bees and produces edible fruits

Jackfruit and several different species plantain and banana.

Passionfruit Passiflora edulis Excellent for attracting pollinators and produces edible fruit

additional strategies

Companion Planting Use companion planting techniques to enhance growth and reduce pests For example planting basil with tomatoes or lemongrass with sweet potatoes

Polyculture Systems Create polyculture systems that mimic natural ecosystems such as planting a mix of ground cover shrubs and trees together

Water Management Implement rainwater harvesting and efficient irrigation systems to ensure plants receive adequate water, especially during dry periods

Soil Health Focus on building healthy soil through composting mulching and avoiding chemical fertilizers Incorporate nitrogen-fixing plants like pigeon peas to enrich the soil naturally

By selecting a diverse range of species that thrive in Panama’s tropical climate and implementing sustainable practices you can create a resilient and productive guerilla permaculture system This approach not only supports food production but also enhances biodiversity and ecosystem health

Benefits of Animal Implementation

When animals are involved a small self-sustaining home should be there with people living there tending to things daily.

Having diverse alternative agriculture trails can offer several benefits to animals, particularly in terms of their feeding habits and overall well-being. Here are some potential advantages:

Cable systems can contain animals efficiently and to the potential appeasement of concerned parties, keep animals (such as goats) from eating the entire area; cable systems can slowly move animals like that of a ski lift, at ski resorts. Solar-powered electric fencing is recommended, animal harness not a collar to be used if this case is implemented. Corrals with small roofs for younger and during storm weather should be established along the trail of this type, and programs can be used to return animals to corrals during storms.

1. Nutritional Diversity: Different agricultural practices may produce a variety of crops and plants. This diversity can provide animals with a range of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that are essential for their health. Foraging across diverse landscapes allows animals to meet their nutritional needs more effectively.
2. Adaptability: Animals that have access to diverse agriculture trails are likely to develop a higher level of adaptability. They can learn to navigate various environments and food sources, which can be crucial for their survival in changing conditions, such as seasonal fluctuations or environmental shifts.
3. Reduced Competition: A variety of agriculture trails can distribute food resources more widely, reducing competition among animal populations. This can lead to a more balanced ecosystem, preventing overgrazing or overconsumption of specific plant species, which, in turn, supports the overall health of the ecosystem.
4. Resilience to Environmental Changes: Diversity in agricultural practices can create resilient ecosystems. If a particular crop or plant species fails due to disease, pests, or environmental changes, animals that have access to alternative trails can still find sustenance, minimizing the impact of such events on the local wildlife.
5. Enhanced Biodiversity: Diverse agriculture trails contribute to overall biodiversity by supporting a variety of plant and animal species. This biodiversity is crucial for the stability and health of ecosystems, as each species plays a unique role in maintaining ecological balance. Animal waste and its presence stimulate food growth in a natural format.
6. Behavioral Enrichment: Access to diverse agriculture trails encourages natural foraging behaviors in animals. Foraging is not just about finding food; it also involves problem-solving, exploration, and mental stimulation. This behavioral enrichment contributes to the overall well-being and cognitive health of the animals.
7. Migration and Genetic Diversity: Some animals rely on migration patterns to find food and suitable habitats. Diverse agriculture trails can provide stopover points and varied resources during these migrations, supporting genetic diversity within populations and reducing the risk of inbreeding.
8. Ecosystem Services: Animals contribute to ecosystem services such as pollination seed dispersal; and waste fertilization. Diverse agriculture trails enhance these services, benefiting both the agricultural landscape and the natural environment by promoting plant reproduction and growth.

In summary, diverse alternative agriculture trails can positively impact animals by offering nutritional diversity, promoting adaptability, reducing competition, enhancing resilience to environmental changes, supporting biodiversity, providing behavioral enrichment, facilitating migration, and contributing to essential ecosystem services. This diversity is key to the sustainability and health of both animal populations and the ecosystems they inhabit.

OPERATION

Spread out, out along a network of trails, or existing roads can be trees certainly, certain shrub crops also certainly, and using smart systems and the right species of animals as well. Insect and fungal populations can quickly do well with the right techniques and procedures which are easily adoptable by today’s workers or businesspeople.

Social Premise of Sustainability

The most productive format for the cultivation is to be very mobile or regularly nomadic in movement, seeing many different designated experiments across diverse altitudes and microclimates in a route across a large area. For each additional space added, an additional teammate should be added, and the team should rotate across the locations. It will be important to weed out any non-functional teammates or land areas over time and this all comes out in the cycle. We built an app that helps with this immensely and gives us units of measurement to show on carbon credit, and in simple green value.

The installment of excellent species is more possible today than ever. It takes only to learn the immediate surrounding nature over a great area of land, know the locations of good food trees and shrubs, and be able to assemble a masterpiece of a meal menu from them to unlock a new level of performance potential.

It is just about proven truth that a diverse gathering of greens provided the evolutionary step to making spear and fire yet, it is not known as so much as to what degree a highly strategic nutritional diversity diet plan had(s) the ability to get us to that next level.

You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice.”
― Bob Marley

Using natural design strategies mapped out by Bill Mullison and many others, the implementation of plants and animals with human management and enhancement systems has worlds of potential especially when we go after a full working natural picture.

I am looking forward to marking on these trail systems especially after recently seeing some ancient ones in my trip to Argentina.

Working with drones to enhance the agriculture situation is also a fun thought.

Potentials in Small Fisheries

Potentials in Small Fisheries along the “trail” are vast, and especially in the goal of poverty irradiation can play super-enhancing roles in completing and enhancing the operation.

The presence of diverse alternative agriculture trails near natural rivers, and irrigation channels can bring several benefihts to small fisheries, fostering a more sustainable and resilient ecosystem. Here are some potential advantages:

1. Nutrient Input: Agriculture trails near rivers or irrigation can act as a source of nutrient runoff, enriching the water with organic matter and nutrients. This increased nutrient availability can enhance the productivity of the river ecosystem, providing a more abundant food supply for fish and other aquatic organisms.
2. Habitat Diversity: The diversity of plant life along agriculture trails contributes to the creation of diverse habitats along riverbanks. Different plant species provide hiding places, spawning grounds, and shelter for fish, promoting biodiversity within the aquatic ecosystem.
3. Buffer Against Pollution: Vegetation along agriculture trails can act as a buffer, filtering out pollutants from runoff before they reach the river. This helps maintain water quality and reduces the negative impacts of agricultural runoff on fish populations.
4. Stabilization of Riverbanks: Plant roots from vegetation along agriculture trails help stabilize riverbanks, preventing erosion. Stable riverbanks create a more favorable environment for fish habitats, as they reduce sedimentation and maintain clear water conditions.
5. Shade and Temperature Regulation: Trees and other vegetation along agriculture trails provide shade, helping to regulate water temperature in the river. This is particularly important for fish species that are sensitive to temperature changes. Maintaining suitable water temperatures contributes to the overall health and well-being of fish.
6. Food Sources: The diverse plant life along agriculture trails can contribute to the availability of insects and other invertebrates, serving as additional food sources for fish. This can enhance the nutritional diversity of the fish diet, supporting their growth and reproduction.
7. Connectivity and Migration Routes: Agriculture trails can act as corridors connecting different habitats along the river. This connectivity is crucial for the migration of fish, allowing them to move between spawning, feeding, and nursery areas. Uninterrupted migration routes contribute to the sustainability of fish populations.
8. Economic Opportunities for Local Communities: Diverse agriculture trails can support local economies by providing resources for both agriculture and fisheries. Small-scale farmers and fishers may find mutually beneficial relationships, such as using agricultural by-products as fish feed or engaging in integrated farming practices.
9. Cultural and Recreational Values: A diverse natural environment contributes to the cultural and recreational values of the area. This can attract ecotourism and recreational activities centered around fishing, benefiting local communities and providing an incentive for conservation efforts.
10. Water Regulation and Flow Management: Vegetation along agriculture trails can contribute to water regulation by absorbing excess water during periods of heavy rainfall and releasing it gradually. This natural flow management helps prevent flooding and ensures a more stable and suitable environment for fish.

In summary, the presence of diverse alternative agriculture trails near-natural rivers can have multifaceted benefits for small fisheries, promoting habitat diversity, water quality, stable riverbanks, and overall ecosystem health. These positive interactions contribute to the sustainability of both agricultural and fisheries practices, supporting the well-being of local communities and the environment.

They are no doubt essential focus to a complete and balanced ecological and human health optimization and enhancement.

DISCUSSION

Science perhaps should have ventured in this direction of combining the elements, but instead, this hugely important community opted for the “direction of dissection.” They are almost opposed to realizing diverse combinations, and creative nutrition building as a study. Right now, in modern culture (North America), what I am talking about in terms of planning out a “highly diverse diet to optimize yourself “is a “crazy” idea – “that likely has a lot less of a benefit than I say it does.” At this time it seems that cool is to be dumb and Cheetos are good. I really keep repeating myself so a few young people I care about consider the nutritional idea at least, and actually discover the full performance benefits. How many people take the time to even try it?

Pay deep attention to nature and everything will become more clear. -Albert Einstein

It can be further argued that gains in atmospheric richness by practice such as guerrilla permaculture at a large enough scale would be significant.

This would be a natural solution to both carbon and food-related concerns.

To become an ambassador or developer to this just go do it. “There is nothing to it but to do it!” I always say…. soil enhancements, biodynamic, and learning what you already have could be a starting place for anyone. Slowly but surely you can have yourself a wonderful situation, and place in nature with as little as a break every 11 days which healthy person should take time in nature at that pace as a minimum anyway.

Again the tech can free us it would seem, and in this abstract discussion, there are some rough ideas of what we could do to organize a massive movement.

Creative Deployment: A Natural Need is Created and Solved

Cryptocurrencies are quickly being realized as the decentralized nodal contracting solution, that a much more solid free-market economy can build on.

They are finding incredible ways to organize the monies and a balance is needed for nodal energy production and a technological balance with nature.

We can’t forget nature and this crypto economy cannot be stopped, it is a force of nature that is inevitable.

We should act now to tether this movement culturally to respect and prioritize nature and natural energy production.

If the military forces of the world simply turned their attention to this priority of nurting our nature, to defend us from this attack of stupidity that has run it’s course for long enough and seriously threatens the ecology that we depend on for air and food and life.

world military personel  x  nurserey, soilbuilding & permaculture  =  carbon reduction, more food, better food, more life bttere quality of life for all

Quite simple really.

To even honor a crypto token given only in the fight to enhance our natural habitat more than a dollar would trigger a reverse of our current destruction to our future of vitalization.

Guerilla Permaculture, a defined action plan

Secret or at least sparratic or off-trail installations of human-intention-ed permacultures and/or enhanced ecologies within greater naturaul landscapes.

Chinese general and strategist Sun Tzu, in his The Art of War (6th century BCE), was the earliest to propose the use of guerrilla warfare.

Guerrilla warfare is defined by Google as; irregular military actions (such as harassment and sabotage) carried out by small usually independent forces. Others see it as a term that also includes sneaking upon, rather than confrontation, from small parties oftentimes existing always nomadic-ally or in hidden locations.

We think of the United States Civil War and European Wars where the guerilla battle design strategy beat the monoculture-looking one.

There may be a need to keep others from harvesting your stuff while away – so I discuss some points of “not attracting attention.” It would take an education equal to the gorilla in order to know what is food and what is poison. The irregular planting style of “permaculture” in contrast to the modern monoculture planting style has been loved by many now for half a century and diverse combinations were without a doubt the method of the most advanced growing systems through history and today in terms of nutritional quality. There is an advanced knowledge base and expertise is available.

I find bee ecology the starting place. Flower foods and shrubs install fast, and so do the bees. Creating an engine of pollination and visitation of winds and wasps to keep the area buzzing and in a constant state of resistance and activity could be a first-step important achievement.

The combat-applied idea was key to America gaining her independence from British Rule, it can theoretically be the activity structure from which the little man or the underdog can come up and gain independence from reigning ideology in our case the monoculture, the big man, and the machine.

Monoculture rows can easily be beaten in quality and can be outproduced by this style of intertwined with the natural and diverse cultivation of desired foods if done correctly.

Automated systems can totally be integrated into an optimal growing plan.

There is a real want to simply become a wild forager and hunter, that does not need agriculture and it is through this ideology that one can travel a great distance. Imagine if this whole time we have had access to superfood beyond what we eat now, right in front of us, in an endless supply but simply did not know it or know the few steps to make it work.

**Monoculture agriculture is our primary source of food today. It is a cocky person’s attempt to show nature who is boss. It is working to produce a toxic product that will kill and mutate shelves of pollinators every day, cause millions of human cancer and other conditional cases, and we deliver it all in a long-lasting, pretty “vegetable” with a hefty price tag on it.

Education about these things can totally come out and become used in a new culture such as this.

These items most people purchase, grow with earth and water. They can be re-grown from seed or tuber or stalk most times, and as long as the new grower does not use chemicals but instead facilitates a delicate and personally managed growing atmosphere the species can now be enhanced and can grow in the other direction as generationally as the good environment and the toxin-free situation is maintained or improved.

My team works exclusively with species, that have not been a part of modern diets, offering digestive and ecological contributions new and exciting to the self and world health systems.

It takes a good year of learning and working with the chosen species and then anyone can produce on a small amount of land.

There is too much to learn from working with our nature it’s very curious how none of us are offered this avenue of learning in school or reform.

If one can move to the site and stay on-site for a while they likely would want to start with animals, moveable solar fences and controls for these animals, use simple shelters such as tents, and small buildings, or no buildings, and once a small trail of land is cleared and the animals or bees have been situated the permaculture design installation of plants can go next.

True absolute freedom + fulfillment of the natural role will start to come when

1. The permaculturist leaves the cancer patch on the skin of the Earth known as the city.
2. A method of eating and surviving far from the city has been established.

We can assume logically, that the smarter braver, and more nomadically inclined will be the first to take the opportunities for travel and relocation (post-pandemic) to more remote and rural destinations for residency and various degrees of attempted sustainable lifestyles.

There are so many life lessons such as “keep your circle small,” and making sure the people you do permaculture with are really into permaculture and you can do other things with those who like other things.  I can’t say it enough you need quality people to do quality farming at any quality level.

There is a high need for older schoolers to take the time to teach younger men and women how to manage their optimal growth socially. Aspects such as not carrying people through things, and instead letting them build their old strength. We all need to be sustainable individuals here.

Pull your weight, and respect those that pull more than their own.

Action Plan: Considerations and developments for a strong intensive plan

A question speciall here in Panama is why are their not Mango and Avocado trees linging the streets and highways?

A next question could bee “why have I never thought of that question?”

The culture of profit has grown to not even give the idea of “abundant resource” and thought at all.

Limited resource is the value, and what we do must be the “limited edition.”

We can say that in a nomadic journey, the best version of guerilla permaculture could be accomplished, but I have developed and experimented more on a re-visit style of doing this also.

These unknown, un-owned, all-free guerilla permaculture sites could even be strategically functioned to assist nature, to be a piece of the reforestation solution we so badly need to be today; sort of terraforming stations and they would be in most cases.

Today provides us with GPS, and we can easily use this technology to plot multiple sites along trails and other accesses. There are ways of exporting map files for a location so that in the event of a power outage or GPS failure real maps together with the exported maps should be able to get you back to the sites.

The duality of technology is interesting. They can increase ability but when there is too much the technologies begin to present evidence that they are hurting us (individually and ecologically) by creating toxins and causing us to perform less physical activity. Achieving the correct balance as a society and as individuals is a daunting task for the scientist only because he lives in a profit-driven world.

This balance is the everyday success of nature. Support nature and nature will support all of this.

Mapping the stars can be fun for the family, is a very important skill, and other ways of creative site marking and finding come to mind in the endeavor. Planting specific plants in certain vicinities, and along trails that you and your group have mapped out could be much more productive, rewarding, and important of a daily activity than one would think.

We have thought to launch a star and sky study group that focuses mostly on biodynamics, which Guerilla Permaculture superstars should be familiarized with, although GPS makes it all pretty easy and longitude and latitude lines and cloth markings are dependable enough. The biodynamic and lunar rhythms should be the activity guide of all installations and routines and the opportunity to multiply dynamic effects should be available in the larger scale of the overall guerilla permaculture stations. To have a graduated specialty in such biological dynamics would surely enhance the performance of this idea.

Biodynamic Agriculture (Steiner) principles and preparations as hard as they may be for some to believe in, really do work and should also be considered for employment in the guerilla permaculture mission. Not being one to argue with the results, in my experience we are in a dynamic situation whether people believe it or not and those with more knowledge and belief in those dynamics, especially the library of universal ones, will have a better chance of success at outgunning the major agriculture industry with an all-natural method.

I thought of some initial things that could help sites and trails blend in with nature.

1. Motorcycle, foot, or horse access only.
2. Several wall-expansion perimeters are planted at the onset in a bullseye-like form (birds-eye view). This could be an excellent general permaculture focus, for example; one tall tree, shorter trees next, shrubs next, ground cover next, chosen vine, etc. Using
3. Bees & other dangerous insects animals and reptiles…my little kid’s imagination run wild. Bees  I think are perfect and I would do them at as many locations as they are being so adversely affected by chemicals associated with mono cropping today. This could really drive and realize a new level of beekeeping – likely very needed years ago now.
4. Sharp and scary plants can be sourced, and maze entry styles can be designed with certain species such as bamboo, wild ginger, and many others.
5. Tree “Y” planting.  A piece of rope or natural twine wrapped several times around a tree branch “Y” shapes, sticks, in a sort of high-up planting nest could be a wonderful method of doing this, that inspires tree climbing and integrated tree planting which I can see now could become very advanced.

Guerilla Permaculture Action Plan Continued

NOTES:

Since the pandemic 2021, a health wave of fitness enthusiasm in the Bocas del Toro Islands [one of the areas I have worked on permaculture and plant study] and all across Panama, Colombia and Costa Rica has really picked-up. I have been running, biking, and swimming here for ten years off and on, and doing the diverse diet testing. Biking and surfing are something you see a lot of. But there has always been more partying in the night than runners in the morning, and now I am joined even by a small few at 5.5 am, which has never been the case for me before. Respectively still the health trend, in my opinion, should have sky-rocketed to the front level of importance they deserve but that was seemingly curtailed by the ideology that a paper protector was a better line of defense than the immune system – which too can be enhanced and optimized through cultural practice and correct sufficient nutrition.

How to scale it? That’s also clear.

Nature Nurture Labor:

Nursery to Land.

Small Groups can easily network on digital platforms, log trees, inoculants, and more to locations and GPS coordinates.

There is a great business in new food, one can quickly be the healthiest option with no equal competition – for a limited time.

There is a great business in food waste disposal and composting here, as well as many other new businesses, to support the needs of the effort.

New Jobs offered: x

A shrub list of starter stuff could be,

1. Damiana
2. Ambrosia Peruvian
3. Ashwagandha
4. Cranberry Hibiscus
5. Katuk

A ground cover list could be started at the same time could be, idealistically

1. Pumpkin Squash
2. Bitter Melon
3. Passion Fruit
4. Watermelon

Of course, if not use native ground cover plants that work. Tarot swampy land, cassava drylands..

The first thing that we need to do is pick our first installation spot, Sun Tzu’s work may be the best guide for doing this, but again basically we are looking for a place off the beaten path, and there are many natural clearings where edge material and small stuff can be chopped up easily with a machete, the ground turned or not, and no clearing of larger plants.

I covered earlier that to move with some livestock one can be quickly established into this. That to be nomadic is a plus. The Kuna Yala tribe here in Panama was the only in the region, that was never conquered and they have some of the most preserved heritage and culture. They were not nomadic to start but became nomadic for centuries to survive until finally negotiating the territory of the San Blas Islands in Panama, some of the most beautiful Caribbean Islands – and the vibe there is great!

Getting started with the agricultural part we want to make a pile of chop, and start digging a hole, that is our soil mine for a time and could be a spring or other use hole later on. So if we can find seeps let’s do that and start mining a piece of our soil mix from there. Mini dry wood shacks.

If there is some rock we could break that up or use it as it comes, and if there is some larger stick we can use them as whole pieces or burn them for soil ash, we can also start powerful bio-char type processes. The options can be very optimized and are very dynamic in terms of direction.

We want the best soil possible and likely a thick topping of pasteurized chop, which the rain will do over time as it is in a pile. I am a fan of dicing my chop pile over and over to make it easier to apply and better functioning, but this is not necessary and would require more site visits.

Branches harvested without seriously affecting the trees can be cut and made into smart cover structures for smaller planting. It is always easy to get fairly straight 2′ pieces and Lincoln logs them up around special plantings. They can be charred a bit too. Rocks placed as petals of a flower around the planting is also a good way to help designate. So is sawdust, mulches, or collected leaves and needles.

Ash, concentrated fertilizer, on-site natural tea-making system, bio-dynamic preparation, logs in swales, and humanure should be considered for on site-soil preparation. I am in the tropics but there are species that can work for whatever microclimate you are in, it just takes a little bit of learning each day.

Simple ideas like these are building blocks to better nutrition anywhere. But we are concerned with patriarchy. Illusions are instilled by deceit. Here in Panama people $purchased 4500 high-pressure sprayers and tanks were rolled out to spray the bottoms of cars in the tropics where it rains every day because they thought the virus crawled on the street. Someone is laughing somewhere I can almost guarantee.

The steps of installation, (EXAMPLE)

1.  PROTECT BIG TREES, FERTILIZE MEDIUM TREES OF PRIMARY FORREST get ready for shrub planting around these trees.
2. On the planting moon; Plantain, cassava, papaya, coconut,  katuk, damiana, culantro right from cutting rhizome or shoot, in “banana circles.” ‘Vegetables, and quick growing leaves, citronella grass, cranberry hibiscus, mustards, kales, pak choy, zapio, sandia, beans – leaves oftentimes edible, herbs, *hemp, ambrosia peruvianna,  sage, patchouli – keeps insects down in the area. Or small stick-generating species.
3. Irrigation, if needed, and optional disguise for it. I think of a basic 20′ by 20′ plot being a trench around the square and trenches possibly across the center at 10′ each or for one side.

The steps for the second visit;

1. Fertilizer delivery and application.
2. More planting of small crops, root crops such as ginger and turmeric paying attention to bio-dynamic planting days.
3. *Planting of the second wall on the other side of irrigation. If bamboo is used again, it is good to re-dig irrigation as much as possible and to a 6′ swale, planting the next bamboo wall ten feet back, leaving 2′ on each side of the swale.
4. Planting more buffer areas, camouflage outside of bamboo and irrigation, vines, ground covering plants.
5. Cut back of banana plants to stimulate growth and use drops as strategic ground cover. Chop and drop method thought of in design.

In-Tree Planting Systems

Tree Y plant beds:  where a tree makes the “Y” shape, a barrier can be wrapped or nailed on either side, and smaller plants,  fungi, herbs, or flowers can be grown there. Get one done and learn, but move towards all-natural construction if that is not the starting place.

Using normal permaculture strategies such as;  trunks can be covered with vine, and plant shelves can be carved out for all-natural nursery action.

This particular abstract concept is endless in possibility and certainly a work in progress here.

Another account damned by social pitfalls some more

I recently met a team of volunteers who claim to clean the island and want to plant food everywhere on public land. A group of ten having beers told me they planted 25 coconuts and you can see them, and this was good. They told me they wanted to do more and they had a website. Unfortunately, after weeks since I gave them the first task of replacing the plastic pots that one of the members through away and burned on top of a five-year compost while hastily trying to dominate the spaces around him in a primitive effort to be in control of home and garden situation where he was invited by someone helping him (interesting in itself right), I have no heard from the group for five weeks now.

Walk, not talk is the road to progress.

In thoroughness, I have left my rants about this kind of fake talk, and no walk stuff everywhere to 1. encourage the successful point that if you are going to do this, you are going to have to do it on your own, or with a truly dedicated partner – which in the guerilla permaculture should be a great partnership.

In my permaculture and nature enthusiast experience, so many people have these good intentions, or they talk the good intention talk, but to perform in dedicated selfless service to nature (which really earns the most important relationship a person can have in life – a relationship with nature, nature they biologically depend on every day with no appreciation) is conducted by about less than 1% of the individuals in this group talks.

That less than 1% that does something, they will do it all.

Most of the productive farms I have seen are pushed by Latin-America-born workers getting paid for their time, volunteers who get travel subsidies out of the deal, or because of the one worker (many times anti-social rooted in this very lack of productivity from his or her peers) gets up early and puts in a full workday on his project model. These are the types I myself am looking for because this is more of who I am, and we just have to maintain a bar of respect for those of this nature, and a bar of disrespect for those not living up to their full potential, and relying on their mouth to make headway with.

It ends up being a very productive point that I think should be part of any pass down or education that there is a lack of work ethic and a huge element of distraction, waste of time – I have seen people put the breaks on progress over and over with their western bullshit not being able to work or listen. If I compiled the number of hours people like this have wasted of my time it would amount to several of these installations. The only installation like this that I know of I am doing alone and my good friend is doing a very large on (7 acres) pretty much solo.

The time I wasted waiting on people who wasted hours of my time just telling me they would replace plastic containers, to actually come up with those containers, or to actually do something I could have done 100 installations, including all the nursery work to prepare for them.

I do not initially recommend forums, groups, initiatives, clubs, or any of this for productive guerilla permaculture. In fact, I recommend the best headphones loaded up with permaculture podcasts, good music, and motivational media, to block out the fact that everyone and everything is trying to distract you from going into nature and getting it done – the healthiest thing for you and for the world to do!

At some point, accomplished individuals will be able to form better groups, and in this time it will be optimal to go into the group endeavors.

I myself live in two sets of rechargeable headphones wake up at 3 am, and go to bed at 530pm mainly because of how sick I am of listening to people who don’t actually say anything real, honest, or that they will ever follow up on.

I revisited this last year, an experiment in a great extension of guerilla permaculture, I called “Rotational, Revisit-style Permaculture,” at the Nutritional Diversity Study Center in Costa Rica.
