How This Woman Transformed Desert Into Lush Forest!
This is how one woman left the rat race working in for a financial bank to embark on turning a piece of desert wasteland over-grazed by cattle into a fertile food forest farm. @KitziaKokopelmana noticed that whilst working as a banking clerk the people around her were getting very sick, she saw no matter how rich or how much money you have people could not heal with medication alone, they were not living a full or happy life. Drawing from her knowledge and background from her family who owned a successful restaurant business, she knew that eating fresh and healthy food was the medicine that people really needed. So she gave up being a financial advisor and started to educate people on how to be healthier naturally, by growing food landscapes and transforming deserts into food forests such as @buenafortunagardens9816 This type of growing is more abundant and financially successful and secure compared to modern farming that need subsidies and is a deficit to the environment, creating regenerative systems pays back much more over many years, so in a way you can say money does grow on trees and there's no price you can put on your on health and the planet!

What an inspiration. I wish I could contact them to ask if they use bio-char or Terra preta? It would make quicker use of their compost area, as well as all the other benefits of Terra preta, originally developed technique by the maya and aztec.
I had the honor of visiting here and I can’t say enough about how truly magical this place is. She is a very special being and this food forrest is truly holistically transformative. If you can, go!

I'm a bit concerned about the fact that they rely on groundwater to support this project, though. Do you remember if they made any comment about their water usage while you were there? I've seen some agro-forestry projects in Arizona where the first thing they do is to cut down water-thirsty trees because they deplete the groundwater. I wonder about the more holistic impacts of this food forest on the water supply in such an arid region.
Holy cow. That massive baobab tree grew in 26 years. Cool.

I may sound like a Negative Nancy, but I wonder about the impact of those trees on the water supply in the region. They may look nice, but they might be sucking away groundwater from everyone else. I've seen some agro-forestry projects in Arizona where the first thing they do is to cut down water-thirsty trees because they deplete the groundwater. It's problems like this that make me wish governments could get more involved in researching and organizing more holistic reclamation projects, like what has been accomplished to bring back completely dried out rivers in India's arid western regions.

Your Chanel pulls me out of despair. I was raised in Uganda in the 1960s & its degradation is so tragic. I wish I had money to do these kinds of projects over there.

You don't need money to get cuttings from native plants, plus don't focus on a big area just start with a few feet of unused land and as you learn you can expand the area, family and neighbors will want to help once they see a little progress. I do know not everyone lives in a place where this is possible so I wish you luck if decide to take this journey.

@LeafofLifeWorld We started in 2019. Just the beginning of the pandemic. Our desert land in Southern California is basically barren. Our food forest is still young, but we were able to harvest a few fruits last couple of years. It is going slowly but surely since our budget is low. But, I am going full force this year and hopefully have a striving food forest in a couple of years.

The USA needs to take notes and stop cutting everything down for more unneeded subdivisions out in the country. The prey populations are all getting squished into one place so naturally now the predators populations are exploding and being pushed closer to homes. We need help!

Can anyone identify that silver gray aloe at 4:30? I grew up in Hawaii which was on the tropic of Cancer but it is mediated by trade winds which means it never gets above 88°, if it does the winds are called Kona winds and that's in the summer when brush fires start What a beautiful paradise she has created

I know this lady has her hands full with 11 acres. I was super pleased that she is growing so many exotic plants from the rest of the world. I’ve germinated baobab seeds. But not sausage tree seeds. But there’s more deserts out there that need advice on how to change them. 💜💜💜

I was born in Baja California Sur and that's my goal. Create a forest, but of native trees such as mesquite, palo verde, torote, palo adan, cactus and other local species. On my land I have visits from local wildlife ranging from birds to deer and I want to provide them with that area of food and water.
Respect.

You can add literal mountains of compost to soil like that. Lime will help.
