The future of agriculture is revolutionary and to be seriously considered - resource, nutrient and space optimising, with smaller scale growers forming larger scale agro-processing cooperatives, utilising hybrid greentech systems fed on waste. 

My work is dedicated to the mighty Forests of the Earth and to the Children of Africa. 

My primary objective is to see the transition of industrial food production, largely responsible for the alarming loss of biodiversity across our planet, to a regenerative, holistic ECO-LOGICAL Agriculture of the future. Recognizing the sacred in each and every species brings us to a point of respect for all life and the harmonizing of our systems with those of Nature is fundamental to this, our (r)evolution.

We DO NOT need to destroy our precious Ecosystems to grow food & produce energy. We need merely to simulate and integrate the perfect tech embedded in a seed, in a rain forest, in algae, in fungi, in bacteria, in insects & animals, all 5 Kingdoms of Nature, to "real-eyes" our birthright of Natural Abundance.

Skills Transfer Programs

TRAINING AND MENTORING is crucial to the success of the large scale role out of any agricultural program, that is to deliver a future of food security that is peoples' based, locally sustainable, environmentally friendly, carbon neutral and climate resilient. 

I.C.E. is working towards  accredited  Zero Waste Agroecological Training programs that equip the emerging small scale farmer with the knowledge of relevant bio-technologies that can improve soil fertility,  increase yields and supplement production.
