Mass Regenerative Agriculture

All non-regenerative agricultural technology is based on the synthetic process of feeding a macro elements to the plant, however this bypasses the plants requirement and ability to uptake hundreds of trace mineral micronutrients from the soil.  This creates sickly plants, pests and minimal nutrition.  The multiple biocides used for pest control reduce the soil microbiology and the ability to capture carbon, requiring more nitrogen fertilizer- all destructive to the environment.

Our solution is a complex biological soil input of thousands of native soil microorganism species that work symbiotically with the plants that make trace minerals available for the plants nutrient uptake when needed.

The product is an all-in-one soil microbiological input that will enable smallholders and gardeners to easily grow foods at a lower cost with similar production to conventional, prevent the release of carbon and nitrogen molecules into the atmosphere, and at the same regenerate all environmental elements. 

All non-regenerative agriculture is at the heart of an unsustainable life on earth due to the 1. the killing of soil microbiology and excessive tillage that reduces sequestration and increase the release of carbon, 2. the unnecessary use of nitrogen fertilizer that becomes NO2 and can hold three hundred times more heat than carbon, causing the loss of flora and fauna species and produces foods that lack 10-90% nutrition.

Most smallholders throughout the world do not have the technology for regenerative agricultural production.  In addition, organic certification permits the use of 20% biocides yet still be considered organic.  The impact is in the hundreds of millions of people in agricultural communities and consumers in general.

There are several factors that contribute to the problem that our solution addresses.  The main one is the incorrect approach to agriculture, solely based on production by only feeding the plant with macro elements.  This is the equivalent of someone eating hamburgers daily, getting big but also unhealthy.  This philosophy was adapted after WW2 with the use of synthetic chemicals.  The other factors are that, since the plant is unhealthy it attracts pests, which then requires the use of biocides which only worsens the environment.

The solution is an all-in-one soil microbiological input of many thousands of microorganism species that work symbiotically with the plant. The plants leaves will use photosynthesis to produce up to 100,000 unique sugar molecules.  In trees, up to 65% is transmitted to the roots and in vegetables, almost 35% is exudated by the roots.  The plant uses chemical intercommunication signaling with microorganisms in the soil and depending on the climate conditions, to send specific sugars to attract the bacterial and fungal species that the plant needs to work the mineralization process.  The microorganisms emit an enzyme that breaks down the aggregate crystalline structure of silt, clay and sand to free up and make available the locked in minerals.  The microorganisms eat the minerals and then are in turn consumed by predator protozoa and nematodes, who only need 50% of the energy with the remainder destined to the root system for uptake. The all-in-one product ensures that the plant receives the needed mineral micronutrients and does not require any fertilization since it has all of the nutrients it needs from the soil and prevents pests or pathogens.

The target population are all small farmers, home gardeners and all consumers globally.  Today there is no available technology that can enable them to play a major role in reducing global warming through greater sequestration of carbon, eliminate the use of nitrogen, reduce their costs, improve their production without the use of chemicals and increase the maximum nutrition density of the food products.

Most farmers and home gardeners depend on commercial products and solutions, none of which offer an all-encompassing regenerative product.  The large multinational corporations’ control 95% of all agricultural technology and products.  This makes it near impossible for a global transition to regenerative agriculture.

Consumers are not ware that all foods produced via non-regenerative agriculture has lost 10-90% of nutritional value since WW2 and in addition, most foods come with many synthetic chemicals.  These chemicals are both soluble and insoluble and can last in the body for many months to decades.  They perform the same functions in the body as they do in the soil, block metabolic systemic functions and kill gut flora, both of which weaken the human immune system. The result is that the food is responsible for 55-60% of all non-infectious disease and I believe 100% responsible for the virus disease.  A robust human immune system should have no problem warding off any virus pathogen since all humans have 380 trillion natural viruses in our bodies.

For the past ten years I have investigated peasant agriculture, organic agriculture and now regenerative agriculture.  I have written, developed and provided classes and conferences to a wide audience of farmers, universities and consumers in Ecuador. I have also authored several books.

Smallholders are slaves to a technology that only benefits the multinational corporations and the institutions that serve them.  No one can speak about a sustainable, resilient ecosystem for humanity without addressing the state of agriculture and the urgent demand to transition, transform and immediate shift to true regenerative agriculture.

Creating a mass based regenerative qgaricultural product will 1. Preserve and restore carbon-rich ecosystems and carbon hotsots in agricultural lands, 2. Enable economic development for community and urban based foods production.3. Provide maximum density micronutrient nutritional foods for sustainable human health.

We have completed informal trials on a multitude or crops and formal trials on several crops (lettuce, beans, corn, roses and onions) and are in the process of submitting the analyses to the ministry of agriculture for registration as a formalized product.  We are also working with one of the largest flower growers in the world with our product.There are also a large number of local communities waiting for our product such as Pimampiro, Urcuqui, Otavalo, La Libertad, Mira, La Esperanza, Tabacundo, Cayambe, Lago San Pablo and others throughout Ecuador.

The majority of agricultural technological chemical and biological applications, whether conventional or agroecological, are based on increasing production by feeding the plant with macronutrients, using the soil as a medium.  Our solution is focused on the natural earth science relationship of the plant to the soil microorganisms for nutrient uptake, using the soil as the purveyor of the nutrients.  Our approach is revolutionary.  It turns agriculture on its head.

It is well known that the future of humanity depends on converting all agriculture to regenerative technology.  Adopting the regenerative practices of cover cropping, earth slopes for water management, composting, residual decomposition are all excellent practices for creating a regenerative farm, large or small. The problem is scalability and time.  We need to rapidly grow regenerative agriculture to millions of farms in the next ten years, yet today there is no technology available other than farmer to farmer adoption.

We absolutely must change agriculture from production based using macro elements of several minerals to soil based using many thousands of microorganism species to fortify and remediate the soil microbiome.

Unfortunately, farmer have been trained and learned through the large transnational corporations to buy a product, as opposed to develop composting rich in microbiology to apply to the soil and permaculture methods to restore the land, preserve the environment and reduce fresh water usage.  Todays farmers want a product, something tangible that can be easily used at a low cost and produce results.

Currently our technology will serve the people in northern ecuador, about 1 million people, once our product is registered with the government.  In one year, it will serve 5 million people and in five years it will serve 100 million people.  IN ten years, one billion people, smallholder farmers and consumers.

Sales, new products, improved sequestration of carbon, improved vibility of agricultural lands, remediation of ground water systems, reduction of rains, increse of flora and fauna species, improved health of the consumer, regenerated soil, decontamoinated water, and lower costs of production.

We are all seasoned professionals with depth of experience.

Sheldon Caref has global experience in sales, customer service and operations in multiple technologies.  Has personally visited many pueblos throughout Ecuador and writen several books on Organic Agriculture and is in the final edit of a book on Organic Nutrition.  Taught courses in Ecuador to peasant farmers and university styudents.

Cristian Carrera is a lawyer who has dedicated his practice to agricultural communities in the northern provinces assisting them with legal problems and is well positioned with managing the community sales plan.

The three biotechnologists have all worked in the field and in universities on research and development.  The agricultural engineer worked on an organic project in Galapagos to help restore the environment.

The finanical specialist who will help with accounting and fund management has consulted with banks troughout S. America.

The operations expert currently runs a production laboratory with organic foods and drinks.

I have managed teams since 1985 until I retired from many global corporations in 2010.  The keys to healthy, progressive and successful management are always maintaining equality in the team, encouragin minority and women to provide leadership and assisting them with training if needed, collaboration, collective goal setting, open and transparent communications, no toelrance for sexism or racism and the establishment of a philosophy that grows everyone.

I am seeking funding, either as grants or investment.

In order to scale to the market from artesanal to industiral, we need an infusion of capital.  It is extremely difficult to organically grow when the market demand is greater than the supply offering.

Investors or NGOs.

Sustainable communities must include regenerative agriculture in gardening or farming.  Our solution drives that behavior and helps with the transition.

All communities should have regenerative gardens and our product is a simple solution to help communities transition to gardening for home foods.
