This presentation will demonstrate how a Stockfreeorganic farm is able to grow bountiful crops without the use of animal inputs or the importation of fertility. Iain Tolhurst has farmed organically for over 4 decades and is a pioneer of stockfreeorganic systems. See how working with nature can solve the problems of pest and diseases and how soil is central to the passion of a well-balanced farming system.

Permaculture is about designing systems to work in harmony with the planet rather than fighting it. By observing what already works in nature we can create gardens and farms with inbuilt resilience that reduces the need for physical labour and technology. Tony Martin, is the editor of Growing Green International, the magazine of the Vegan Organic Network and became veggie in 1978 and then vegan in 1986. He has always been interested in gardening since sampling real food grown in his grandparents garden when he was about 8. After growing for 13 years in a 1/20 of an acre garden in Derbyshire he decided he needed a bigger play space and in 2003 brought 5.5 acres of Welsh hillside and planted over 12,500 trees and hundreds of fruit bushes.

“I’ve written the first popular guide to vegan gardening and will tell the story of the journey to become a vegan gardener. ‘The Super Organic Gardener: Everything You Need to Know About a Vegan Garden’ is the first popular guide to vegan gardening, I want to fill the space between the much written about organic gardening and vegan cookery areas, and link in everything from stockfree gardening and wildlife to growing your own.

Looking at the possibilities for famers reducing livestock on farm and how they are to maintain incomes and fertility of their land. What will happen to existing livestock on farms when they are pension off? How will stockfreeorganic (vegan) farm of the future loo like? How will they serve their local communities and how will they deliver public goods.

Shinya will talk about basic principle of Shumei Natural agriculture, how he grows vegetables organically without adding any animal manures, combined with seed saving and continuous cropping systems. Revitalizing the power of soil is essential for Natural Agriculture farming. It’s 100% vegan organic.

Odds are your food is grown with chemicals and slaughterhouse waste or if you eat ‘organic’ then it is grown with organic slaughterhouse waste, unless it is veganic of course.
