Caribbean
Bahamas
Natural resources have been the foundation of economic development in The Bahamas for hundreds of years. In the 19th and early 20th century, agriculture prospered, especially on islands such as Eleuthera, because of a favorable climate and red lateritic soils that allowed large-scale production of crops such as pineapple, vegetables, and grains. In fact, the island of Eleuthera was a major supplier of pineapple to the United States until Hawaii became a U.S. territory in 1900. Unfortunately, changes in market demand, in combination with intensive growing practices reducing the land’s ability to sustain agriculture at a commercial scale, eventually relegated agriculture to small-scale operations that only support local demands and subsistence living. These trends in production have resulted in a large percentage of the food available in The Bahamas being imported from other countries, which has increased food prices and influenced diets. Moreover, even small-scale agriculture is dependent upon chemical fertilizers and pesticides that are costly and have significant environmental and human health risks.

Tucked into the foothills of the Maya Mountains, two miles up river from the village of San Pedro Columbia in southern Belize, Maya Mountain Research Farm is a registered non-governmental organization and working demonstration farm that promotes sustainable agriculture, appropriate technology and food security using permacultural principles and applied biodiversity. With over 20 years of work, Maya Mountain Research Farm is one of the oldest ongoing permaculture projects in Central America. We cultivate hundreds of species at MMRF in our established agro-forestry system, a lush, productive tropical food forest. We are building and fine-tuning an agro-ecological system that conserves natural resources, and supports the surrounding ecosystem in providing valuable ecological services such as carbon sequestration, soil and water retention, and the creation of wildlife habitat.

Since 2006, we have been working to repair destroyed cattle land into a food forest in one of the most deforested areas of Costa Rica. We experiment with ideas and practices that serve our land base and communities while withdrawing legitimacy from the unsustainable structures and habits of our cultures. We aim to transform today’s convergence of global crises into opportunities to unite, educate, and co-create a more conscious, just, and abundant way of life for ourselves and generations to come.
Our vision is the end of destructive corporate dominance. We envision diverse, empowered, conscious communities sharing the abundance of a healthy and balanced planet in our lifetime.
VerdEnergia is doing its part to make this vision a reality by working towards these goals:
-
To reforest damaged land into a food and energy forest, thus establishing a suitable, healthy, and biodiverse habitat for humans, animals and plants.
-
To protect the land and watershed from foreign and/or short-sighted interests.
-
To create a duplicable model for responsible land and watershed management for diverse human cultures.
-
To establish and sustain a free school to foster environmental awareness and revolution around the world.
-
To create an opportunity for like-minded individuals and groups to divest from unconscious, destructive systems and reinvest in conscious systems that empower communities, value and protect ecosystems, and create a shared abundance on our planet.
-
To provide opportunities for local micro-enterprises and cooperative land ownership with local partners.
-
To co-create and participate in the growing net of sustainable communities in Costa Rica and around the world.
