2. Relax, Sit Back, Listen and Get Inspired!
Don’t worry about taking detailed notes.
I want to stimulate you to think , react and maybe even get excited about doing something!
You’re going to feel like you are getting fed through a fire hose.
I’m told I talk at around 120 mph with gusts up to 200 mph.

Themselves

Ecopreneurs by 2016 to

Itself

23. Enabling People to Teach Others to Feed
Themselves
How are we reaching this ambitious goal?
ONE ECOPRENEUR AT A TIME!!
We are primarily Researchers and Doer/Teachers
What is a Doer/Teacher?
Not your typical High School or College Teacher who has never done what they are
teaching
We believe strongly you cannot teach something you have never successfully done.
So because we are working with many new or “infant” technologies, we need to
first work with them (“do” them) before we can teach about them

24. Enabling People to Teach Others to Feed
Themselves
Most of what we are wanting to teach involves farming (in the soil or in the
water – terrestrial or aquatic) so we believe we need to be successfully using
these farming methods and technologies ourselves.
If what we are teaching involves home production and personal use then we
strongly feel we need to have successfully implemented the technology
ourselves.
If what we are teaching involves commercial production then we believe we
should PROFITABLY and sustainably have operated the program ourselves.

41. Why Should You Learn How to Feed
Yourself?
By 2030 world population will be over 9 billion and it is projected that food
will be a critical resource even in wealthy areas of the world, like the US.
Traditional industrial agriculture is rapidly depleting limiting resources like
Phosphorous, which as they say “God ain’t makin any more”.
The average distance food comes from today in the US is 1500 miles.
Food quality has become so poor that many significant health issues can be
directly related to processed and modified foods you eat.

42. Why Should You Learn How to Feed
Yourself?
Most Americans are over-weight, due in a large part to the poor quality of
their diets.
Many Americans under 30 do not even know where their food comes from.
Working with living things has been closely tied to improved quality of life,
greater happiness, and a better ability to favorably interact with those
around you.
“getting your hands dirty” on a regular basis is being closely linked to
improved immune system performance, thus more disease resistance.
