How to tackle Complex Problems

Complex Issuesbull Climate Changebull Hunger and Povertybull Job creation and Income generationbull Energy and Food Security

The Triple Bottom-Line Approachbull Social Environmental and Economic Sustainabilitybull Integrated and holist perspective

What is Agroforestry

Mixed-use land management system that combines agriculture and forestry practices in order to create more diverse productive profitable healthy and sustainable land-use systems

bull Diverse intercropping of species bull First harvest can come as early as a few weeks bull Plant succession Herbs and spices vegetables fruits hard wood

What is Agroforestry

What is Remineralizationbull Remineralization is a fertilization technique

that uses rock powders to rejuvenate depleted soils restoring healthy conditions without disturbing natural ecosystems

bull Rock powders can be used as substitutes for chemical fertilizers and pesticides

Remineralization is also a ldquoTriple Bottom Line Solutionrdquo to issues of food security erosion forest management and climate change

What is Remineralization

Advantages of Agroforestrybull Water Savings due to less

evapotranspiration (greater soil coverage)

bull Require less fertilizers (the plants naturally supply each other with key nutrients)

bull Resembles natural ecosystems protecting biodiversity and producing natural goods and ecosystem services

Advantages of Agroforestry

Advantages of Agroforestry

Galbert et al (2013)

Advantages of Agroforestrybull Trees can be used for

shelter biofuels and medicinal purposes

bull It can be easily combined with other sustainable agricultural techniques eg Remineralization Biochar Compost Organics etc

Advantages of Remineralizationbull Provides slow natural release of elements and trace

mineralsbull Rebalances soil pHbull Increases earthworm activity and the growth of

microorganismsbull Builds humus complexbull Prevents soil erosionbull Increases the storage capacity of the soilbull Decreases dependence on fertilizers pesticides and

herbicides

Advantages of Remineralization

Goreau et al (2011)

Advantages of Remineralizationbull Increases the nutrient intake of plantsbull Increases yields and gives higher brix readingbull Increases resistance to insects disease frost and droughtbull Produces more nutritious cropsbull Enhances flavor in crops and shelf life

Advantages of Agroforestry

Galbert et al (2013)

Advantages of Agroforestrybull Trees can be used for

shelter biofuels and medicinal purposes

bull It can be easily combined with other sustainable agricultural techniques eg Remineralization Biochar Compost Organics etc

Advantages of Remineralizationbull Provides slow natural release of elements and trace

mineralsbull Rebalances soil pHbull Increases earthworm activity and the growth of

microorganismsbull Builds humus complexbull Prevents soil erosionbull Increases the storage capacity of the soilbull Decreases dependence on fertilizers pesticides and

herbicides

Advantages of Remineralization

Goreau et al (2011)

Advantages of Remineralizationbull Increases the nutrient intake of plantsbull Increases yields and gives higher brix readingbull Increases resistance to insects disease frost and droughtbull Produces more nutritious cropsbull Enhances flavor in crops and shelf life
