GaiaVerso (PermaTree)

@huanga Nothing yet so far. :/

@YantzaFarm What will happen with the infrastructure?

This is the end my friends. Last photo. #permatree #gaiaverso Lifetime project end. Hot cup of beverage of the goods. What happened? Well in a nutshell: wrong team, wrong time and wrong place. Nevertheless all experiences in life are gifts.

The access path tunnel approach also is much less invasive than traditional approaches managing food forest in tropical climate. #tropicalpermaculture #permaculture #nature #biodiversity #ecuador

Those plants work like magnets for the many neotropical birds and some type of hummingbirds too. In other words this enhances our biodiversity. Isn’t Nature awesome. 🌎

Latest approach at Finca Yantza. We are focusing on managing all the food Forest with access path tunnels. Tunnel are great to create more shade lower temperature during extreme climate. Selecting local endemic pioneer plants with flowers that grow up to 4-5 meters in high.

@ClydeFargadu It’s the local banana in the Amazon region far away from the monoculture banana production on the coastal side. It’s definitely not ideal for monoculture like the #cavendish but who would go for monoculture in 2022?

@YantzaFarm How is this variety called in English?

Guineo seda 🍌 ❤️. #banana #zamorachinchipe NOT the comercial Cavendish with zero taste. This banana 🍌 has real natural sweet taste #realfood #tropicalfruit

Gold standard: Dry Toilett. 👌 The composting toilet breaks down human waste. The output after a period of 1 year is a humus / compost. After using this toilet for more than 6 years using a “modern” water powered toilet just seems more than point less #composttoilet #drytoilet

Reforestation with #jackfruit seedlings 🌱 they adapt rather good to the humid tropical climate we have here and grow within 4 years producing the very first fruits. Some pruning is needed to keep them from growing to high from start. #fruitforest #reforestation

Yellow cacao pod. Very sweet. The white pulp is acidic and fruity, often with a slight floral taste. #cacao

Yantza Farm 2022 : The bamboo is taking over. Mainly guadua angustifolia and dendrocalamus asper. Long term goal is to plant even more bamboo and create something like several *Tunnel Access Paths* the bamboos will create shade #neotropical #regeneration #ecuador #thinkbamboo
