Restoring Mining Scars With Biodynamics

 

Working to regenerate mining scars and the communities living around those mining scars. Transitioning the people away from artisanal gold mining, which is incredibly toxic and dangerous, to biodynamic agriculture that will enable the community to support itself through the sales of their agricultural produce, and to detoxify their land through the growing of their non-toxic crops such as grasses for basket weaving and bamboo for house building. This project will see communities through a completely resilient transformation, enabling them to stop this toxic and harmful mining in their own land which they never wanted to do from the beginning.
