PHILOSOPHY
IN ORDER TO LIVE A SUSTAINABLY PROSPEROUS LYPH, ONE MUST LIVE IN A ETERNAL STATE OF PEACE THAT NOTHING COULD DISTURB. WE ACHIEVE THIS BY PLANTING LOVE WITHIN SELF. AT ALL TIMES, EVERY CHANCE, YOU GET OUT WHAT YOU PUT IN. THE SOUL EXTENDS FROM EDGES OF THE UNIVERSE ALL THE WAY DOWN THROUGH THE ROOTS BENEATH YOUR FEET. IF WE WISH TO EXPAND AS VAST AS THE CONSCIOUSNESS ALL AROUND US, IT IS THE BACTERIA IN THE SOIL AND IN OUR GUTS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED OUR GREATEST ALLY. AS ABOVE SO BELOW.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
DESIGNED AND BUILT THE PLANTLYPH RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE, A 12,000 GALLON AQUAPONIC SYSTEM, IN THE BACKYARD OF A CALIFORNIA URBAN HOME. THAT CAN SUSTAINABLY PRODUCE 1200 HEADS OF LETTUCE IN 240 SQUARE FEET IN UNDER 60 DAYS. USING ALL NATURAL FERTILIZERS, PEST AND FUNGUS REPELLENTS MADE IN-HOUSE .
DEVELOPED A 2 DAY, 9 WEEK AND 16 WEEK CURRICULUM TO TEACH CHILDREN AND ADULTS HOW TO BUILD, OPERATE AND SUSTAIN THE PLANTLYPH URBAN AQUAPONIC SYSTEMS.
GOALS
EVERY PERSON HAS THE RIGHT TO BE ABLE TO DO FOR SELF, FEEDING THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES WHILE SHARING THE INFORMATION AMONGST THE WORLD. TO SET UP THE ULTIMATE URBAN FARM NETWORK WITH EACH LOCATION MAXIMIZING PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFICIENCY TO FEED AN ENTIRE URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD UTILIZING THE LEAST AMOUNT OF SPACE. THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOOD TO GO AROUND THAT NOBODY WOULD EVER HAVE TO STARVE BECAUSE THEY CAN’T AFFORD IT.
