generational health & wealth through soil restoration

There is a major soil crisis currently taking place across the world. A UN report found that, globally, 52% of agricultural soils are degraded. This has stark ramifications for the global food system, with clear impacts for Africa. Beyond concerns around food security, healthy soil can positively impact water security, carbon sequestration, protection against climate shocks (e.g. floods, wildfires, and droughts), biodiversity loss, mass migration and farmer livelihoods. 

It is our social responsibility and moral obligation to leave the earth in a better condition than we found it. The least we can do is to restore our degraded farmlands to the original condition that our ancestors left for us; fertile, unharmed. 

What if there was a way to achieve this goal through a collective approach to "farm together apart",  where Diasporans provide financial resources to continental farmers to engage in sustainable agriculture (farming and commodities trade) and share the proceeds fairly, while concurrently improving soil health and reversing land degradation. "Grow For Me", an agricultural technology company based in Ghana has pioneered this possibility, and now "everyone can farm".

What if there was a policy action for soil health, ensuring a minimum of 3-6% (based on regional conditions) organic matter in agricultural soil through government policy to ensure healthy, living soils that can sustain future generations. Save Soil movement (backed by the UNEP, UNCCD, UNFAO, WFP and IUCN amongst others) has already spearheaded this action step for us to follow suit.

Since we all eat but we're not all farmers, we can make a collective effort through "ACRES OF CHANGE" to support those who put in their sweat equity to grow our food. This would at least ensure that we get clean and healthy food to eat, while concurrently restoring life to the soil. If we fail to do so, farming is a business, and whatever chemicals a farmer must employ to improve yield and increase his returns he will, and we cannot blame him for his actions due to our inactions.

What we need to introduce to the next generation is good body chemistry through proper nutrition. In fact, it will be prudent to require all young women of African descent to go through "pre-conception" nutritional education, and we must make available such good nutrition. Good body chemistry maintained from childhood will produce human beings of physical perfection in form and line. 

What we need is to apply the same standards of perfection to people that we do to farm animals and machines. The basic reason for doing so may be economic or a desire to see human beings give the most to life and receive from it the maximum in health and happiness. Whatever the reason, IT IS FOLLY TO LET OUR CIVILIZATION RUN ITSELF INTO THE GROUND BECAUSE OF FAILURE TO APPLY OUR INTELLIGENCE TO THE PRESERVATION OF A RACE OF HEALTHY PEOPLE. 

We think of ourselves as individuals but we are also links in a long chain; a chain that goes back to the beginning of our ancestors existence. If over a period of a hundred years each link in the chain became one per cent weaker than its predecessor, the end of the race would be near. And yet, one per cent weakening in each generation would be so slight as to be imperceptible. What is actually happening is that the increase in disability is so rapid that it can be seen. Grandchildren in general have less body resistance and are more subject to ills than their grandparents were at a like age. If we do not wish to become a subjugated people or extinct, we must go back to the rules of nutrition- NO HARMFUL THINGS and ALL OF THE ESSENTIALS, and that can only come from a healthy soil. 

Our bodies are today the same mechanical contrivances that they were thousands of years ago, and thousands of generations ago the chain was very strong. We talk about our heredity- we brag about it- but what we have was given to us- what we should be sure of is, that we pass along to the next generation as good as we have received.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

Step 1: Visit www.GrowForMe.com to learn about their impact and how we work with them.

Step 2:

Contact us after visiting the website and we'll assign you to a Personal Account Manager who'll sign you up and help manage your  farm investment account. You can monitor all farming activities and your investment online during the season. 

Step 3:

At the end of the farming season, your funds (principal + ROI) will be rolled over into the Commodities Trade option to help your investment accrue additional interest during the year, instead of just sitting and waiting for another growing season. The minimum investment amount is $1000  for a minimum period of 3 years and can be rolled over indefinitely.
