Here’s How A Simple Rotavator Can Feed, Fortify & Replenish The World!?

To me, a self-generated information worker and technical editor on agriculture and forestry, the one-and-only “Outstanding Alumnus For Creative Writing” (2011) of the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) in the entire 100 years plus of UPLB (since 1909):

Climate Change is the #1 Enemy of Agriculture, bar none; and it is not easy to defeat – ergo, any proposed or suggested government program or private movement must address the issue of how Climate Change is solved or resolved.

Says the Editorial of the UN Sustainable Group – “Towards Sustainable Food Systems: How To Feed, Not Deplete The World“ (28 Sept 2023, unsdg.un.org):

“Game-Changers” is a new editorial series from the UN Development Coordination Office (DCO) on key transitions that the UN Secretary-General has called for, to advance progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), catalyzing a more sustainable and equitable future. … The world needs renewed ambition and action to deliver these Goals at scale.

Urgently, to deliver the food. Says the UNSDG further:

“As the global population rises, the question of how we produce, trade and consume food in a sustainable manner has become increasingly urgent.”

Precisely!

“in a sustainable manner” – As an agriculturist (UP Los Baños 1965) and a self-taught environmentalist, I say that the 1^st major goal of food production should be that it is “eco-friendly.” Certainly, if eco-friendly, the food production would help improve and/or enhance the qualities of the environment that promote sustainability: water, soil, plants, microflora. In contrast, Chemical Agriculture (CA) is eco-fiendly – (1) CA destroys soil life; (2) CA is expensive and therefore anathema to the poor farmers; (3)  and CA produces greenhouse gases that accumulate in the upper atmosphere and produce Climate Change, the enemy of all.

The 2^nd major goal is that it should be “techno-friendly” – especially considering the technically illiterate farmers who number millions, plural. Like: The chemical fertilizer is “unfriendly” to farmers because they cannot do anything except accept or reject it! The same is true with the chemical pesticide.

3^rd major goal is that it should be “pocket-friendly” – again, especially for the poor farmers.

That is why I would like to teach what I shall refer to here as “Rotavator Agriculture” – it is a personal “secret” that I can cultivate any farm with any rotavator big or small – and increase the yield wonderfully! Not to mention decrease the cost magnificently. (Image from youtube.com)

Precisely!

My Filipino rotavator solution is inexpensive. There is no other equipment or material necessary except the rotavator – it’s the technique of using it that matters.

You can call me for a demonstration at your place, or in my hometown. Or you can contact Nagkaisa Multipurpose Cooperative which is based in my hometown Asingan, Pangasinan, and who will then contact me. (And yes, Nagkaisa will document everything for future reference.)
