Permaculture Alliance
Permaculture has the revolutionary capacity to provide food security for vulnerable populations, while vigorously progressing regeneration of distressed landscapes. It has the proven ability to achieve extraordinary results with far fewer inputs than in traditional agriculture, greatly reducing farmers' reliance on chemicals that are both expensive and have harmful side-effects.
Naserian Foundation has collaborated with leading permaculture practitioners on the formation of The Permaculture Alliance. The Alliance will act as a convenor of thought-leaders in this critical sector, to allow best-practices to be defined and shared and to provide a forum for discussion and training. The Alliance will engage with key governmental and non-governmental partners in its target geographies to drive uptake of permaculture.
Soil Restoration
Our proprietary microbial formulas enable water to penetrate and revitalize barren soils. This in turn forces microorganisms to spawn and change the makeup of the damaged soil, replenishing the biological nutrients that are missing.
The potential to micro-encapsulate much-needed nutrients into our formula allows moisture to permeate below the soils surface and deliver microorganisms in an environment that will let them grow, free from heat, elements and UV exposure.
The microbiology of soil is different depending on location; we can make custom formulations to suit any soil type. This enables the most effective and cost-effective treatment possible.
Table to Table
The Farm companies are partnering with the "Table to Table" initiative, a comprehensive agricultural project aimed at addressing food security in various regions, including Central and East Africa, Madagascar, Maldives, Mindanao, Indonesia, the Caribbean (with a focus on St. Lucia), and Cambodia. The project has two main goals: to ensure food security for local communities and to create profitable external markets for agricultural products.
To achieve these goals, the initiative will involve a detailed research phase, assessing current agricultural practices, needs, and challenges. This data will inform the establishment of a Common Agricultural Co-op and an Internal Commodity Exchange, operating on a multi-level system from local barter to global sales.
The end goal is to achieve 100% food staples security in all participating areas, while also fostering a viable profit-generating market. The initiative aims to provide advanced agricultural machinery, logistics, storage facilities, and financial support to participants.
Environmentally Responsible Soil Fertilisation Systems
The Farm and DG Global have strategic partnerships with several industry-leaders who are developing and generating highly effective and sustainable soil mediums for broad agricultural use.
An example of this is Pure Life Carbon, who have developed the first standalone carbon soilless growing medium. It is clean, consistent, high performing and acts as a risk mitigant for growers who use it. Environmentally responsible to use, for every one ton of our product produced, we sequester over three tons of CO2, making our fertiliser a growing medium that benefits the environment when produced.
It speeds plant growth, reduces stress, increases fruit/flower production, streamlines operations, stops disease caused by pythium, and prevents gnats and aphids. It can be used for years without replacing and can be repurposed for other growing needs. Relative to fruit and vegetable crop production it uses 90% less water than normal methodology.
