Country: Panama- Biodiversity and natural resources
A biodiverse nutrition study, based in the Republic of Panama, has come to be known as Nutritional Diversity food science ( www.nutritionaldiversity.com ). Every day, developing a more complete full and sufficient nutritional information that provides hugely to world health and nutritional security. Testing, a tested, functional performance enhancement formula to athletes and so far for the treatment of most physical problems, obesity, diabetics, high blood pressure, depression, sleep dysfunction, joint repair, malnutrition, arthritis, colitis, erectile dysfunction, and likely a long list of other ailments. Essentially finding that 30-60 specie are a minimum sufficiency requirement in diet, and that even more appropriately would be around 100, a drastic difference than today's culture of thee to ten cooked things on three large plates per day. Modern agriculture produces a malnutrient, largely unknown to the consumer. Also found is human digestive potential much more receptive than today's nutritional guidelines would indicate. Wild acknowledgements such as that several generations have lived and died never feeding themselves a sufficient diet, have been concluded, and a dedicated effort to use species used in previous era's has become a very supportive leg in our overall diet designs. We now work almost exclusively with species and produce not found in the grocery store.

The beautiful point plainly addressed; to live in harmony with nature using public lands and be productive, could be coined as Guerilla Permaculture, a title which describes kinda how I imagine harmonious natural life in my mind, anyway.
The installment of excellent species is out there now. It takes only to learn the immediate surrounding nature over a great area of land, and know the locations of good food trees and shrubs and be able to assemble a masterpiece of a meal menu from them.
It is just about proven truth that a diverse gathering of greens provided the evolutionary step to making spear and fire yet, it not known as so much to what degrees that a highly strategic nutritional diversity diet plan has the ability to go beyond the primitive selection.
You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice.”

Science perhaps should have ventured in this direction, but instead, this community opted for the "direction of dissection" as opposed to realizing diverse combinations, and creative study. Right now, to modern culture (North American) 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 idea, and actually discover the athletic benefits.
Since the pandemic, a health wave of fitness enthusiasm in the Bocas del Toro Islands has begun. I have been running biking and swimming here for ten years off and on. Biking and surfing is something you see a lot of. But there has always been more partying in the night then runners in the morning, and now I am joined even by a small few at 5 am, which has never been the case for me before.
Humbly, I would like to cover a few points of disclamatory wisdom that can offer a positive perspective and helpful must-knows from a world(s) of experience not everyone reading this has had.
I should say if you take land be prepared to give food and plants away. This particular idea likely works the best on public land. This idea should not be the root of land disputes so always do your homework and check with authorities. You should be able to get written permission to do at least a little garden somewhere for you to start.
Wisdom 1.) It would be good to have as many evolving models of growth as the planet can and share the diamonds of information that diverse experience comes up with. It is always tempting and now very viable with the internet to accomplish but at the same time; the biggest problem I have seen across the board in farming operations is working with people. Keep your circle small, make 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. Don't carry people through things, you'll be moving slower like that. Be your own winner and that means to know how to cut the dead weight and make moves. You will always be able to come back to that which you cut if you cut it the right way. That being said, some cuts should be permanent, believe me, those cuts are there for everybody, and they will have to be made in order to succeed as much as you may not like that fact or the person you may need to cut. These decisions about people are based on their honesty, integrity, toxicity, and strength. It takes time to get to know people, and superstars always have "haters," so remember diamonds are made under pressure and they are hard to find. People are dynamic and working them generally is dangerous so you just really need to get to know them before embarking on any kind of commitment with them and if they have been dishonest with you in the past, well - it is guaranteed to fail and it is your fault when it does because you knew that.
Wisdom 2). Land disputes are sort of interesting all their own as we don't thank the Great Spirit for these amazing lands, anymore. We (1) own them (2) we know better than nature does, and we torture and send to extinction all the biological life on this planet that existed long before us, through basically those two thoughts.
I started this paper at the 5 years into my Permaculture sciences study mark. I just passed ten years in this field. I am able to proceed in this pursuit of happiness and free-trail blazing thanks to receiving property from an Angel, a million and a half blessings from above, and the support of my Father, Bruce Bro, JPKill, my Bro Richie, My Sis Wendi, and plenty more thank you all.
I have though been in 7 years now, deeply, and have said the last 4 of those that I would like to do Permaculture on public, not owned lands, anonymously as a way of conjuring up the highly intelligent attention from nature; the ultimate school, in a new category of certification from nature herself.
Guerilla Permaculture :
Secret or at least sparratic or off-trail installations of human-intention-ed permacultures 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.
There is no need so much for the secrecy at this time, other than to keep others from harvesting your stuff while away. The irregular planting style 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.
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.
Monoculture rows can easily be beaten in quality and can be outproduced by this style of intertwined with the natural cultivation of desired foods. This is an interesting (unfortunately) lateral comparison to war history whereas, rows of soldiers were beaten and outperformed by the strategy of guerilla tactics and techniques. hence my use of a similar term.
There is a real want to simply become a wild forager and hunter, that does not need agriculture and can travel a great distance.
Just short of that, within a certain smaller span of distance, I think it could be advantageous and fun to look at doing some small, quickly install-able guerilla permaculture sites.
The thing we did not see coming from this initiative was the amount of incredible insight that is downloading about everything through the practice.
The next step (if we survive that long) in human intelligence following the age where we thought we owned land, where we stabbed flags in it, wrote documents for it, went to war over it, will be an appreciation for the crazy awsome gift hopefully.

Monoculture agriculture our primary source of food is a cocky person's attempt to show nature who is boss. It is working and will kill and mutate shelves of pollinators every day, cause millions of human cancer cases, and we deliver it all in a long-lasting pretty wax-coated version with a hefty price tag on it.
These items most purchase grow. It takes a good year of learning and working with the chosen species and then anyone can produce on a small amount of land. They are other gifts from God or Nature or Great Spirit the whole Earth is really one big gratitude test and should one choose they can learn to grow stuff anywhere.
If one can move to the site for a while they likely would want to start with animals, moveable solar fences and controls for these animals, use simple shelter such as tents, and once a small trail of land is cleared and the animals have been situated the permaculture design installation of plants can go next.
True absolute freedom will come when
The permaculturist leaves the cancer patch on the skin of the Earth known as the city.
A method of eating and surviving far from the city has been established.
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.
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.
The ecology we could kick off from a large movement of humans doing this could create a quality of life far greater than what we are looking at without this type of movement. I certain sect of people seem very made for something like this, but it also seems the mental constraints of ownership, or the need to own it before working it makes us focus on buying something when that is not in this case necessary to accomplish it.
Arguably it may not be as secure. I think to keep it to a trail format and stretch it out doing your daily runs and harvests on a strategic set of productive species is both less attractive of attention and provides security in the sense that the planting is stretched rather than a squared area.
Today provides us with GPS, and 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.
"It was a good life, you break your back, you snap your fingers, you snap your neck." - Prong
The duality of technologies 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. To achieve the correct balance as a society and as individuals is daunting for the scientist.
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 mu9ch more productive of a daily activity that 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.
Biodynamic Agriculture principles and preparations as hard as they may be for some to believe in, really do work and the 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 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.
A shrub list of starter stuff could be,
A ground cover list could be started at the same time could be,
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. There were not nomadic to start but became nomadic for centuries to survive until finally negotiating themselves 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, 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 lets do that and start mining a piece of our soil mix from there.
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 overtimes 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 log 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 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, and planting to be performed on the first visit starting as early in the A.M. as possible :
PROTECT BIG TREES, FERTILIZE MEDIUM TREES OF PRIMARY FORREST get ready from shrub planting around these trees.
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. Bamboo? Or small stick generating species.
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;
Fertilizer delivery and application.
More planting of small crops, root crops such as ginger and turmeric paying attention to bio-dynamic planting days.
*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' each side of the swale.
Planting more buffer area, camouflage outside of bamboo and irrigation, vines, ground covering plants.
Cut back of banana plants even if just a bit to stimulate growth.
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 strategy such as; trunks can be covered with vine, and also plant shelves can be carved out for all-natural nursery action.
This particular abstract concept in endless in possibility and certainly a work in progress here.
Social Pitfalls
I recently met a team of volunteers that 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.
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 actually 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 not do much. This is because usually laziness, so many of these types are just looking to escape from being responsible. They have this "hippie" attitude where "everything is alright, we don't want to do anything, the system already had us enslaved we are done with that," and as credible as much of these claims are the general output from these groups is unproductive.
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 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.
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, waist of time. If I compiled the number of hours people like this have waisted my time it would amount to several of these installations. The only installation like this that I know of I am doing alone.
The time I wasted waiting on people who waisted 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 recommend forms, 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!
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 revisit this point, in a great extension of guerilla permaculture, I called "Rotational, Revisit-style Permaculture," at the Nutritional Diversity & Permaculture Study Center in Costa Rica.
How can agricultural policies and strategies help to end child labour in agriculture?
Following up from previous comments and contributions
With the ability to sustain as a family unit, using fair share management systems maybe even taking in non-blood related relatives, freedom of time and leisure is there.
The key will be that every member of family blood or not should share a specified plot in an equal split in the initiative, children would be inheriters of the system one generation could establish.
This is all abstract for sure but isn't everything really. I mean we can do all sorts of stuff, silly to smart. We have proposed over and over an intelligent individual diet based "demand and conquer" fuel source for the movement towards a more natural and fulfilling life.
We need to learn how to eat optimally and learn permaculture.
I am trying to bring as much attention what we are doing here in Panama as possible at this point, we really do have the real gamechanger here (quick video).
Agricultural Science human cultural science, individual self-care sciences are all one and the same. If we are our brother's, keepers, we give them land, name on the title we teach them permaculture. That simple. Slowly but surely we rise in the most amazing ecology man ever dreamed of.
Land Globally 123 billion acres, useable flat lands - 37 billion
Global Population: 7 billion
7 billion acres per enslaved young person (everyone pretty much)
It is that simple.
It is that simple.
Details are: community size should not be more than 200 for health reasons. Spread out. You can call for help in second fragments today if you are a scared person.
Young people today are rich and can be their own self-righteous agricultural forces through simple empowerment of space no never owned, to begin with. They just need to know this.
The bureaucracy of major agriculture the major agriculture fields themselves (major everything), the size of major cities, major companies, large everything needs to be diversified now and take up primary ecological focus.
Thank the Great Spirit and do what is right before its too late for you.
Young slaves today can be their own self-righteous agricultural forces through simple empowerment of space no never owned, to begin with.
Thank the Great Spirit and do what is right before its too late for you. Read this.
Yes, you will need to get tougher as a person.

How to monitor implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries?
What incredible timing, and with the extension and all!
Small fisheries are a great solution to issues surrounding general poverty, food supply, special preservation, and fertilization of permaculture.
Also what a pleasure to see the statement as bold as "2020 The Year of Artisanal Aquaculture & Fisheries," to fuel the science into a great movement.
Especially in times of serious flu scare amidst the COVID-19 emergence. After reading all related material, I still can't stop thinking of the plethora of herbal solutions that are passed on and never even mentioned. Immunity and robust strong immune systems should be the primary focus. I would think. But that is me.
1. Defining progress towards securing sustainable small-scale fisheries
Sustainable living systems all by themselves feature so many benefits it would be foolish for an impoverished person to ignore. Yet, I would say it is the main reason we are still so far out of balance and more of these systems are not in play.
The second reason this concept is will be hard to achieve is government policy.
Jokingly we can say both the stupid people and the government policy have to go.
2. Meaningful and feasible indicators: How can we measure progress?
When people get into stuff like this, they get into it, I have noticed learning from one another in farming usually runs pretty well. With the internet, even better such as here.
3. Participatory monitoring: Key elements and experiences.
Same answer as to #2. Maybe an app that is can help keep data including fish populations census.
I would like to work more on the small fishery idea myself.
I think now knowing 2022 will be the world year for it I am motivated to get in the groove!
The only thing that makes it more motivating is considering the idea that your hand would be in a bit of karmic reforestation.
I think this also a great addition to the Poverty Nexus work a few months back.
Considering what is happening to our waters everywhere, I am very thankful for your focus on this as a committee!
Some sort of marketing for this 2022 Small Fisheries campaign could be really motivating also.
A Decade of Farming for Families is also an excellent motivation for the next 9 years of concentrated family farming.
As they say when I was growing up " Rock & Roll." They also said, "take it easy."
Towards the establishment of an International Digital Council for Food and Agriculture
In pursuit of establishing an international digital council for food and agriculture, it will be important to have worthy direction.
It is another pivotal moment of deciding how much online currency and online voting power or policy making v.s. how much positive direction and support should be established with something like this. It is another moment where we may not be doing anything accept performing bureaucracy that get's in the way of progress, we should be careful not to do this.
For myself, it has seemed curious how for years we can not facilitate an individual citizen; accurate vote on individual issues and tax dollars spent, when the means do so through Social Security numbers (and a few other numbers) such as the ID number here in Panama which has existed almost two decades.
Total voting regulatory power could sit well within the now very popular block chain technologies, and this all bates mention of a Panama colleagues' Producers Market token, an agriculture v.s. digital technology solution. I happen to have an inside look at the team here and the king of this Hill, more or less selected to my knowledge and likely overall success, by my favorite teacher - and this type of selection in this case certainly, does not come to the undeserving. This model could be extremely proactive in promoting better agriculture that does not harm biology and wildlife.
If I am understanding the Producers Token platform right it would [c] essentially function as a marketing engine for the council itself, and for small transparent organic farmers within the ranks. [d] Food distribution costs can be saved and gained by the consumer and the producer who would be able to connect through the network. It is really quite perfect / even very much so for Nutritional Diversity Diet enthusiasts, who could through a network like this arrange there private food purchases for the required high food biodiversity.
I have enjoyed being one of the more abstract contributors to these important discussions. I also enjoy coming from a standpoint which I feel is correct. Don't we all, but important is to go slow and not to get too ahead of things, to cause any stumble. In any event I realize my comments and suggestions are a bit off key topics, all though no less important considerations.
Discussion:
What about a really proactive council, to reforest using permaculture's food forest model, disaster stricken lands, etc. To educate cattle farmers how through permaculture models and not too much more on investment, can have there cows and and whole bunch of other goodies too.
If we can expand our hopes and aim to something of this nature, the impact would be good.
For database information on plant species, the smart phone app iNaturalist, seems to be a great functioning storage and reference for plant species and could play an integral role in helping each geographic region share whats working there. the program is a great text book of sorts to bringing humanity back in touch with nature and back up knowledge Parr on functional foods and other plants around them. It is with kind of knowledge that we can learn and grow into a life in harmony with nature instead of at odds with it and obtain individual freedom and sustainability for ourselves that can last.
Obviously today technology and the development there of is the root of the 12 year crisis so let's get to learning and turning this world around, for our children and all the animals and biology on the planet.
Can this international body dare to inspire insanely incredible ecology to our beautiful world? If so I have just the idea for this! Intelligent humans should be able to manage the growth of incredible thrive-ability and special natural development, the problem has always been for some reason large land plant related developments have been mono culture. Here every vegetable, teak wood is a mono culture. Every tree is cleared for cow pasture. This is the complete opposite direction. If we go the right direction of diversity, we should be raise some amazing eco-cultures far beyond our dreams and compatibilities of today.
As an innovator in the field of this very science of diverse agriculture, we have discovered and tested the incredible results of diverse nutrition production and we know that the possibilities are endless here.
As a technical body can we task ourselves to develop waist collection and conversion technologies through simple design contests that award the money to do it. This is also provides the opportunity to the communities themselves suffering the variety of problems they do to become successful by uplifting their world.
Online the resources are easy to develop, and can support various motions such as
In many ways if we don't have the focus on the species, what are we doing.
If we are focusing on the species, regional climate categories would be able to harvest seed and use young species to supply ever expanding permaculture installations.
In this a joint efforts standard agreement could be a good fixture. For example should a poor farmer convert and work /grow on certain owned property for 50% take of produce. This could be great to see abandoned pasture or tragically destroyed lands be productively utilized easier. Also for public owned crisis land restoration efforts.
Recently we discussed land contracts, and there was some mention of disaster land agreements and national or private land options that offered the opportunity for reforestation, rehabilitation or permaculture to offset the "12 years left crisis," give the poor an out, and give constructivist to ourselves regarding our biological parents in whom we always codependent (plants). These features should be apart of any online consulship also, and were well covered then.
To grow the focus on land, agriculture etc., I see gaining funding a project thought. One idea could be deal with a company like Airbnb who is already leveraging property value to and from diverse independent properties, could maybe allow a optional tax deductible 2-6% optional donation on each transaction to see actual reforestation work happen. The company recently advertised and experience based reservation to get to know the animal kingdom, which I thought was very cool.
By the way Airbnb operators can start making greener properties growing diverse foods and other plants anytime they want.
Counsel gained funds from whatever source should pay directly to people reforesting land, using their imaginations and making totally awesome Avatar-like ecology all over the globe. I know it sounds a stretch, but isn't that what is needed?
What I could do with even a few more hectares in a few more micro climates, some cleared cattle land permaculture redesign, I could rattle off things all day there is so much potential out there.
Another easily achievable, and well supported web-place to offer the option to contribute this could be high school programs and great websites like this one used to follow high school sports. To get kids and parents and the community interested and a little more involved with the ecology they live in, is a great step!
Digital sharing competitions of incredible farming achievements, or installations, or learning presentations, etc., should be the regular to inspire actual no-chemical-use agriculture and wildlife protection.
This concludes my suggestions on this one.
Thanks to group and all that you do.
In pursuit of establishing an international digital council for food and agriculture, we cross yet another degree where we face the useful reality to certain aspects we know of social media platforms. It is another pivotal moment of deciding how much power online council, online currency and online voting power we should allow. It is another moment where we may not be doing anything accept performing bureaucracy.
For myself, it has seemed curious how for years we can not facilitate an individual citizen; accurate vote on individual issues and tax dollars spent, when the means do so through social security numbers (and a few numbers) has existed more than a decade.

A positive permaculture and nature conscious movement of agriculture is both very positive to our green world and can also be the cure to many social problems, health crisis and poverty.
Education and agro-redesign directives in such a contract should be very considerate of cattle and livestock maxims per portion of land, that should not be cleared completely as is currently practiced.
Education about chemical agriculture, and the many harms from it, should be attatched to contract documents.
Converting cattle land to permaculture (multipurpose) contracts should be made most available, there should be tax break incentives to those implementing sustainable ecology and systems as it is a win win for all involved, including the cows and the greater health of everything.
The most important opportunity I see, while the FAO is drawing a useful contract set(s) for land use agricultural, that certain contracts be made for poor individuals and families, with no money to start a sustainable land development, that will use zero chemicals, utilizing all natural organic farming techniques. Possibly the mere existence of this contract standard could motivate what is needed to see the new future phases of organic natural, agricultural abundance potential take hold.
Agricultural Land Investment Contracts (ALIC) also have the opportunity to mandate a 50 / 50 % split of ownership, or 100 percent ownership of 50% of the land, etc., to lands developed agriculturally within the model of sustainable organic nature, to give security to those who tend the farm using the natural methods.
Appropriations of Federal and Nation Lands should be made available for this purpose, as a way of diversifying the assets, especially in cases of clearing and fires. This can motivate a rapid response to the casualty itself, and work as a deterrent to those who may purposely see acreage burned. For example is if x amount of natural disaster acreage could be claimed by one person's name, to be used specifically in an all natural permaculture or the like method, of reforestation, we would be then working in nature so much so to take advantage of the massive ash carbon infusions to soil.
Specifications such as how much livestock is permitted per acre, can be set.
Job creation incentives should be there for governments' also the private sector to consider, such as a Reforestation & Resource Protection officials who have the power to enforce livestock limits and chemical / GMO free small family agriculture.
Private land reserve investment can motivate wildlife and ecosystem security also, and this is the perfect conscious effort for wealthy people and companies.
Certain Species can be recommended to certain geographies and ideas like rotational re-visit style permaculture through a named resource link.
I sincerely hope that the committee can take into account these opportunities while drafting up their Agricultural Land Investment Contracts.
Please also see, best diet information, to help emphasis the optimal human health benefits that come with permaculture investment. This information is also important in fueling individual motivation towards better, all natural agricultural systems.
Development of a Code of Conduct on Food Loss and Food Waste Prevention
I contribute this to the FAO realizing the idea may be oriented for a more technical type, but it seems most effective still from my position to harp on food waist inside of the individual sustainability model because it is this model that work in the end (in many ways), long after thousands of words and protocols and booklets. I think the nature model concept, is really the importance moving forward in all of these many issues the forum addresses primarily, proper food waist handling.
Nature is self sustainable.
The individual nature of today's culture is not sustainable. It does not have to be that way. Individual sustainability should be our very priority, and the re-education of sustaineable and natural importance will rectify most that is wrong today, and provide that we can survive as a large population. The possibility of what kind of people culture we can be is very dynamic, and it is very much up to us at an individual level.
Should we take our examples to live from nature rather than from ourselves, these techno-monkeys that know better; whala ! self sustainable culture of people.
Individual sustainability has a secondary importance and that is the individual's causation of death, or suffering and the footprint left by the life of the individual. Our footprint in the world and our waist management. Part of becoming a dynamic population that supports or ecology rather than destroys it will be learning dynamic principles in the importance of individual sustainability.
We even find that natural selections (plant life of ecology) are even more than self sustaining but actually pull more than just their own weight. Permaculture observed this, and stresses the repetition of it. Individual sustainability for future generations can be achieved by the modern worker too, using rotational re-visit farms, method.
Culture Conflict
Culture among humans is an interesting, dynamic thing. We can have all sorts of wild things in culture that are as unnatural as can be. Stay natural as can be, and take your model from nature should be our motto moving forward.
We can have a culture were abusing children is ok, but in reality this is not ok. Today (English speaking cultures) - we have a culture of using children for money, for control, and many are willing to abuse kids in order to abuse an an ex or gain monetarily, cause total life destruction and tell the worst lies to cause it. Millions of children are lied to, cut off from one parent, brainwashed, something the famous Dr. Phil has called the "Ultimate Form of Child Abuse," and is clinically known as " Parental Alienation," but really is parental kidnapping and child brainwashing. It is a deep rooted emotional molestation and this is all incentivized by the system. This is okay in current people culture, it's normal, there are millions of cases. In reality this is not okay. It does cause damage, it does cause suffering, it leaves huge lasting effects on the world and others.
Many worlds today see leadership that says one thing and does another. Many workers see their 'elected', or non-elected officials live the lives of kings making decisions for struggles they do not know. How this structural manifest became the true reality in so many places, under so many titles is beyond me. But natural I can tell you it is not.
I use these example above because it is one cultural model of many, like mono culture farming, that is just so insane, and so damaging that we have to now really take the idea of looking to nature for our advancement seriously.
At the end of the day we cultivate in the root of all evil, we get what is to be expected.
Nature exists in a perfect...... balance.
Coherent Culture
Intentional Community has been an idea for ages. It's hard to start over without the skills, and the experience to stand on. The 60's cats developed a good couple of shoulders to stand on though with Permaculture and the Permaculture Manual.
Today even the hippies are selfish, egotistical and fascist.
The difficulty I have seen in most intentional communities are concerns in what permaculture calls "fair share," ownership, work value mostly remains in the existing structure of the one with most money owning everything and being metaphysically, then physically unable to actually provide a completely fair opportunity. Where the reality is once they are done dragoning over that one farm, they may mind other farms, and it is possible to leave these farms with excellent natural food forrest management, management opportunities for others, production and vibe. See Guerilla Permaculture.
Nutritional Diversity Study in Panama has found a way to achieve, much more than before, optimal performance results from natural diet practice. This is information gathered over a better part of the last decade, they are compiling into a Human Optimizing, Nutritional Diversity Guide.
Self Sustainability
It's interesting. Sure it will be hard to change the world. We see more and more people who are thinking about these ideas, and here moving to Central America.
To simplify the coherent focus; is for each one of us, or each community of us, to be self sustainable, through technologies that don't drastically effect the earth with pollutants, or other possible negatives. The foot print of humans can be as harmful to the world as the footprint of any other animal should we choose to go off of a natural example rather than an unnatural one.
To Be Useful
If we are going to pull more than our own weight and take care of plenty of stuff we are going to need skills above all other thing. Thanks to modern culture (again), we need a focus point of skill learning in the community.
Energy production and waist management are both optimized when combined. For example the permaculturist's humanuer, or animal manure, work's well to produce plant life on the farm.
The simple realization that the farm, at this point likely is the most important component to success for a group of persons - and we are back to the new type of agriculture skills point again.
Organic Waist Management
At the smallest levels, seeds, beet and carrot tops, can be removed and replanted. Bulk food material should composted.
Small home composting is easy, and there are plenty of ideas and inventions to speed up timing and concentrate tees.
In urban areas, people have now converted shipping containing to solar powered sat composers, making them possibly some of the best things that could happen to an urban ghetto. I imagine given there due time needed, they can compost in human waist in areas where that is an immediate concern.
Human urine is highly potent foliar feeder by itself for plants, and the charger for bio-char.
Non -Organic Waist Management.
Plastics and metals need to be dealt with in alternative forms.
There are plastic fuel theories, and there is valid plastic bottle wall construction that has been done by groups all over the world now. This method could be a great answer, could be done well and could provide jobs fabricating bottle-made wall panels. We have a close model around the world now to this concept known as 'coventech' or 'M2'. I highly recommend the idea of local plastic bottle wall construction panels, straws and bags in the bottles -everything washed. This is a solid waist management protocol that can be exercised immediately.
When a business depends on the waist, it will clean up the waist.
Recycling as a business is not as wide spread as it should be, and that could be because of the effectiveness of it's process currently. Functional clean up technology could be a high demand idea if we had incredible plastic.
Metals are easy to figure out in a conscious coherent direction.
I hope for a world with a more self sustaineable attitude, and I believe it will be at this level , and through this type of coherent mentality in culture that we will turn the page into a page of life. A concentration on Nutritional Diversity and it's principles as a doctrine will undoubtedly be a precise force of effective application in that direction.

Nutritional Diversity Sciences in Panama is Unlocking the Door to Individual Sustainability.
As individuals realize their potential and increased performance when consuming an adequate dietary diversity to address their nutrition needs, the individual is forced to seek permaculture sourced foods, in turn increasing the demand for diversified agriculture systems, and reducing the demand of the mono culture chemical agriculture model. If no permaculture is discoverable in the individual's area, they may be interested in learning to produce their own natural diversely grown robust foods operation.
The realization that the stomach's digestive culture, now commonly known as the microbiome, which is the personal, individual garden of youth, vitality, performance and ability growing within us (the stomach), has been a very effective piece of information so we have noticed, in explaining the importance of diet diversity, and this is because there are waves of references to it from 'science,' and it is the hot topic today in diet science. The fact that this education wave comes to us in the nuclear age, 2019, is fairly baffling although with the focus now, looking forward the progressive science of nurturing and designing the digestive garden, is a fun and interesting science, that requires little schooling - at least if you can come up to speed with the Nutritional Diversity core requirements, and experience.
Let me remind also that it has been expert after expert and PhD after PhD that has ruined human health, robbed one nutrient after another and got us into an agriculture model that kills our polinators off and kills us too - so even though it helps to reference this world of science who has effectively harmed more than help, at least in this field it will help us all in the long run to also mention that these guys are the wrong source of information.
Individual information discoveries (or re-discoveries) such as that we need to eat a diverse spectrum of biological species in order to maintain proper health and support optimal ability and performance, and learning the skills in growing diverse crops, or harvesting wild nature for nutrition, should be the top priority in developing a food sustainable world, or reliable set of hunger crisis strategies. Education on how to use the land and the body should be basic, known by all and most important to our social culture that everyone know how to sustain themselves well. Curiously, rocket scientists may know nothing of the plant world we depend on, and more so the poor, the rich and the whole world over, outside of a few herbalists, botanists, students of native history or nature and permaculturists; the art of self sustainability is a lost one. Thank God, we have a team of experimental geniuses in the diet world, to lead us into better health and performance.
That being said, I can't agree more with the FAO #1 goal of Eliminating poverty everywhere. This too is likely relived simply by the knowledge to do better and to use the full cycle of life and transformation of elements within the biology that is near primary to the human experience. Poverty is likely of the same root as the slave diet that almost the entire world lives by - bad information.
Poverty is the worst form of violence. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Goal number two of eliminating hunger ...well, as I have already said above is as simple as sharing the cutting edge diet information here. So share this information and teach one to fish. I need not quote for that...
To "Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages," simply use the Nutritional Diversity Guide, and you will achieve this health and wellbeing for all who adheres to it.
Inclusive and quality education for all, is deliverable like never before, yet, the distractions for young people are also there like never before on the same platform. That is the internet. So education about permaculture, diet and nutrition is all there, but who cares, and who is looking at that, are the questions with sad answers.
A cultural discipline and realization of the importance of discipline is lacking as if humans made it their purpose to rid themselves of every beneficial ritual it once had developed, and replace it with some sort of practice for lack of control or lack in character in something.
Rural poverty often times has no caring intermediary between their villages and the working information and knowledge, which creates a great opportiunity for the entrepenual or humanitarian spirited to come up with advocateds and trainers to deliver the information to those who need it the most. This I think would be a fun job, and it's a job that creates jobs, spreads vital nutrients and diversity and raises endless innovated potentials in human performance, and in our ecology that we so depend.
Los kiddos urbanos now are into dance clubs, toxins and digital forms of exploration and entertainment far more that any pursuit of actual validity in anything worthwhile, like physical or mental performance or creating a new thing. Here lies a problem that education alone can not solve, especially easily accessible education like internet based permaculture learning for example, without the oversight or internal discipline cultivated in the young person is unseen, never watched, never learned and we watch our youth drift slowly into degrees of poverty and ignorance on all fronts. Learning from mistakes does not happen in the world of education, that world takes no responsibility for it's errors and neither do it's graduates who often times have minds with zero objectivity. The amount of confusion, and congestion in the informational or guiding realms are at all time highs. This is something that is only cleared up by limiting technological associates, going into nature, andgetting a full specturm Nutritional Diversity diet.
Diversification of energy manufacturing is great in itself. Solar generators can be placed through the world with minor impacts to nature. Individual and household energy generation while still highly underrated and likely widely not understood, is really a very capable, effective and efficient field of investment for the family.
"You could take a corner of Utah and Nevada and power the entire United States with solar power." - Elon Musk
Inclusive economic growths can start at the individual level also, and being that successful this would be the most sustainable standard, again I point the individual to diverse food production and independent individual energy production. In Costa Rica we have seen small hydro-plants developed for as little as 3 thousand dollars and they did not seem to effect the life around them at that small size. Solar and air plants are much cheaper and combined with batteries, led lights and diverse panel placement, these systems are more than sufficient to run the needs of the household or small farm.
Homemade production, and diverse goods are officially in demand. Thanks to the cutting edge athletic study here in Panama, along with their educational efforts, the market for individuals seeking alternative agriculture goods, and wild specialties also is growing exponentially. New ideas to deliver well sourced diverse nutrition to consumers like this new supplement are really going to help individuals realize how they should be eating and what kind of interchange with nature is going to get them to where they need to be. New business models are needed for the new species to hit the market looking for a whole new way.
The way we see it, Nutritional Diversity Diet and the individual discoveries made within it's dedicated studies end up being the number one goal that addresses all of the rest, pretty much unlocking the door to individual sustainability and much more.

Eggs: harnessing their power for the fight against hunger and malnutrition
A Contribution to the United Nations Forum on Global Food Security & Nutrition
Harnessing the Power of the Humble Chicken Egg in the Fight Against Hunger & Malnutrition
November 3, 2018
The "Humble Egg," as Saul Morris and Tim Lamber (the FAO.org Egg Forum administrators) put it; I have found through our intensive Nutritional Diversity study here in Panama, to very certainly be everything that is hoped for by this discussion's introductory comments.
Through experimentation with Nutritional Diversity Diet for different livestock, we came up with a few incredibly effective chicken food creation systems, that was based on a "grow soil not plants-type" of idea and a "use what you got-type" of attitude that saw drastic increases in egg production and overall chicken health.
In the case of the ND chicken study it was about moving chickens to new ground, where they can find a diversity of new insects naturally and developing insect production systems to provide a constant nutritionally diverse worm staple. Putting large rows of bucketed out food scraps approve 70 feet from the house, helped detract pests that were otherwise attracted to the smaller food piles left out for shorter times, like during cooking. We would allow insects to visit the food scraps and eventually buckets of grubs is what we had. The simple natural decision to learn to attract and use the most popular larvae worm or grub type naturally occurring was a winner. I am really proud that we took the time and really communicated strong love and care to our chickens during the life of that particular study and line of experiments.
During this time on the Caribbean Island of Colon, of Bocas del Toro, the farm inherited an abandoned young person who we all learned an immense and dynamic set of lessons from. His diet became Nutritionally Diversity and eggs. For our many chapters of economic stress, eggs became the principle protein group in the diet for the entire farm family there.
Many modern diet subscribers would say that eating too many eggs runs a cholesterol and acidity risk. We have found the egg heavy diet to be incredibly sustainable both in times of poverty and for our personal nutrition. Eggs are serious in nutrition and the cholesterol concerns are addressable by donating a certain amount of yoke to compost, to rabbits, to bee's or back to nature in other ways.
The amount of time that chickens have been used in sustainable agriculture dates back at least 10,000 years. We had good energy and sustained muscle mass using eggs this way, we did not encounter any sort of problem, again this is combined with 50-100 other species, and in this type of consumption model, not much is a problem.
I maintain and drive the point always that a diverse spectrum of plants at 5x ( gram weight) that of protein consumed makes the optimal diet for humans and this concept I write under the title Nutritional Diversity, and low and behold, I also found this to be true of chickens. These guys are very happy to eat a Nutritional Diversity diet of their own. Their selection of plants as they are moved around the farm or wild terrains using an electric portable fence can be quite the revealing experiment in a good number of ways.
Chickens when let out can follow the farmer who loves them in a quiet loyal and local fashion. When that bucket of worms goes back in the pen, you can expect they will be right behind it. They are very interpretable, and there are many different species of chicken. These guys deserve a story and no living thing deserves to be caged or kept on it`s own feces for long. Just like all nature they depend on and deserve a diverse environment rich with thousands of other living souls.
The balance of give and take must be appropriate, at a minimum with our animals and with our plants. The strongest system is the one that gives the most love and care, and the most diversity.
We must stop trying to control so much as much as we need to let nature do it's own job. The most divine of us will realize beyond that, to really take care of and propagate our environment and diversity into abundance for all. There is a social cultural aspect to our methods that is grossly overlooked and therefore even more important than ever today. We all know the free range chicken is a more healthy and nutritious product than the factory abuse of the living animal does. Chickens also can remove the need for harsh pesticides that plague or precious pollinators and seriously threaten our remaining ecology.
Small groups of seven to thirteen chickens in moveable chicken fencing and moveable houses is what I found to work very well. Chicken tee-pee style houses rolled up with Premeir (or other) temporary solar powered roll fencing into backpack or horse / ironhorse carry bundles which makes it more manageable, easy and could bring in a whole new set of possibilities for a free roam large range secure chicken farming plan. In the interest of global freedom and food security the chicken egg, is a great egg but it is not the only egg, or the only food fowl. A repopulation of all diverse species to abundance effort is a repetative final thought in the freedom and security conversation. See also Guerilla Permaculture, A More Integrated with Nature Free Permaculture System.
Working chickens and other natural fowl into mutlistaged mutlifacted sustainable agriculture models rooted in the fact that they are free and loving, should be ahead of other science, and the fact that it is not at the level yet of replacing pesticide use, is shameful. It can be as easy as selecting public land, deciding to love it, and starting to see what invited species take a liking to it also.
Humbly,
