For the past few years I've been experimenting with, designing and building aquaponic systems in my own suburban backyard in Western Australia.

As aquaponics is a fairly new concept in today’s society, and information is not so easy to come by, my aim here is to provide as much information as possible, so that anyone can start experimenting with better, safer ways of feeding themselves and their families.

There are secondary collections about social criticism and transformational psychology. Upon special request the Soil and Health Library provides custom-made digital copies of a wider range of books in the same subject areas for its patrons, delivered on CD-ROM by post.

Terra Preta (do indio) is a black earth-like anthropogenic soil with enhanced fertility due to high levels of soil organic matter (SOM) and nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium embedded in a landscape of infertile soils (see soil profiles below). Terra Preta soils occur in small patches averaging 20 ha, but 350 ha sites have also been reported. These partly over 2000 years old man made soils occur in the Brazilian Amazon basin and other regions of South America such as Ecuador and Peru but also in Western Africa (Benin, Liberia) and in the savannas of South Africa. Terra Preta soils are very popularby the local farmers and are used especially to produce cash crops such as papaya and mango, which grow about three times as rapidly as on surrounding infertile soils.

Notes from the lectures, reports and workshops of the Convergence.

We live at a fascinating point in history. The convergence of challenges, most particularly global warming and peak oil, have brought us to a point where we are profoundly challenged to act. We are surrounded by what poet Gary Snyder, in his classic poem “For the Children”, called “The rising hills, the slopes, of statistics” and by individuals telling us that this means the end, that we have gone too far, that it is inevitable that life as we know it will collapse catastrophically and very soon. Yet, at the same time, something very powerful is stirring and is taking root the world over. People are choosing life and are manifesting that in their lives and their communities.
