Many people agree that there is a need for research and preservation of heirloom varieties and new "heirlooms" that will produce abundantly in adverse conditions on small spaces.
This agreement spans many different groups from secular individuals who feel we are facing global climate change, and increasingly limited resources; to local food enthusiast who seek to provide the freshest food and increase Americas food security by not relying on our potentially fragile long distance transportation system. This agreement is even shared by people of faith who foresee a horrible politcal and climatology time ahead; featuring a global opresive government (along the lines of ISIS, North Korea, or Nazi Germany) who will ban food purchase by anyone not subscribing to their ideology combind with famine and oppresive heat from the sun.
The Bible state that people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6 KJV We here at Riverton Research Station / Fruitful Farms seek to provide knowledge on sustainable, local food production production. Included here will be information on yeild per plant, new methods for sustainable farming so people can feed themselves and others more nutritiously on less land. This information is useful to urban gardeners, homesteaders, or relief workers overseas.
Goals we are working on include beans that produce 200 to 250 fold yield.
Best tomato to raise for flavor and production.
Plants that purify water and make multi-vitamine tablets. (Hint: involves watermelon research)
Alternative space saving systems to traditional row sytems.
So follow along with us as we explore both historical and modern sustainable methods to solve world hunger, conserve ancient varieties, provide seeds, and info to help you choose the best varieties and growing methods.
