About this event
About the Microseminar
When the systems we depend on collapse — food supply, transport, energy, finance — survival begins with soil, seeds, scraps, and shared knowledge.
In Soils for Survival, we learn to grow food quickly in small spaces using whatever materials are available, empowering communities to shift from despair to resilience.
From the first handful of compost to the first harvest of greens in 14 days, every act of regeneration leads to recovery — and renewal.
⚡ Opening Scenario
The storm hit harder than anyone imagined. In two days, crops were flattened, roads washed away, and power grids destroyed. Food shelves were bare, trucks couldn’t move, and fuel was gone.
But amidst the devastation, green shoots of hope emerged. In backyards and buckets, on rooftops and in sacks — survival gardens began to take root.
This is where our story begins.
What You Will Learn
This intensive, half-day workshop is designed to give you the practical knowledge to start growing food immediately in a crisis. We will cover 5 essential modules:
- Module 1: Survival Inputs – Finding and Using Essential Materials
- Module 2: Emergency Food Production Systems
- Module 3: Fast-Growing Nutritious Crops
- Module 4: Community Survival Strategies
- Module 5: Survival Action Plan
