Dear Sustainche Farm™ Community Members,
In accord with the three months’ ‘Mobilization Phase’ until end-November 2011 in order to considerably increase the Sustainche Farm™ community, today we have the great pleasure to open the branches of
‘The Farm Tree Forum’. Feel a warm welcome !
The Farm Tree Forum shall facilitate and structure our discussion to shape Sustainche Farm’s™ sustainable development future. It gives all of us, each and every member, a strong say on improvements of the farm family’s quality of life in line with sustainable development principles. Just to keep in mind: Sustainable Development is only achieved if we are able to define economic, social/cultural and environmental benefits at the same time (see diagram to the left; click to enlarge) !
At the end of the day the Farm Tree Forum discussion shall also help us to formulate precise objectives and actions of what to do. This discussion is transparent and may also generate precise demands for donations to ask for on the betterworld.org platform. In this respect it is vital that all Sustainche Farm™ community members register at betterworld.org and thus demonstrate their support for the Sustainche Farm™ Project.
For the time being the Farm Tree Forum was given the following structure:
Category: Sustainche Farm Questions & Answers
- General Discussion & Project Understanding
- Proposals
- Betterworld.org
Category: Sustainche Farm Challenges & Actions
- Brain drain of the young generation
- Architecture & Infrastructure
- Diversification of the farm family‘s income
- Promotion of local farm products and regional food specialities
- Slow Food™ News.
We are sure that in future this structure will be developed further on – as our project develops.
Enjoy exploring the ‘The Farm Tree Forum’ and
enjoy being a smallhold farmer in Northern Namibia !
