By Rob Small | aspirant super micro-farmer helper :)
Hello everyone, once again!
I have attached our Friends newsletter # 37- I think its the best one ever. It has good photos, lots of news and a feature called "Men's gardens in a Woman's movement- Do they work? "
Its worth the download time to read and enjoy.
Your donations are always deeply appreciated. The micro-farming movement among the poor in Cape Town is a world class model which proves once and for all that food and cash poverty can be entirely overcome, on organic micro-farms not bigger than 100m2 to 500m2, built on tiny pieces of useless wasteland, forever.
Right now we have a delegation of farmers from Freetown in Sierra Leone studying the model. We are getting farmer and even government delegations (can you believe it?) from around SA applying to study our model.
It works !!!
We do not need mega Green Revolution industrial super-forced crops and animals to feed the world. This is absolute nonsense believed by some leaders, scientists, economists, business people and thoughtless consumers, who seem to live on another abstract planet..
Please do come and visit on a Tuesday morning 9am-12pm when in Cape Town - just let me know you are coming. I do the tour every Tuesday. Info below.
All the best, as always, Rob - ever aspiring super-micro-farmer :)
Info on Tours: Tours go out every Tuesday , usually from 9am-12pm, except for public holidays, VERY heavy weather, taxi riots and popular uprisings J , or if overbooked and if no one is available to conduct them. We normally begin at 9am at the BP garage, corner Wetton Rd and Rosmead Ave, Wynberg and finish by 12pm. Read the story on http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?ReportID=82899 to get an idea of what you will see and hear. See also the attached/linked article/s & or newsletter/s.
These tours are for Friends of Abalimi, and are free of charge, although donations are always much needed and very welcome. Please see the donations form in the newsletter which will be handed out after the tour, to see the options to donate.
The tour is “no frills” so please bring own snacks and refreshments and make sure to bring all-weather gear as well. It can be boiling hot one moment and rainy and cold with gale force wind the next.
Please let me know if you are coming..
