REGENERATIVE FARMING: Revolutionary Ideas
We have realized for quite some time now, the importance of re-introducing industrial hemp back into our society; nationally and globally. We strongly believe, based on the facts, empirical evidence and history that this plant can AND will greatly contribute to healing our planet while providing economic stability to our community as a whole. This plant is a gift to us and our planet we all call home.
Industrial hemp has a huge amount to offer Colorado, the nation and ultimately the planet. With the passage of the farm bill, it is now federally legal to cultivate industrial hemp. Now, the hemp industry provides an open door to help address economic, environmental, conservational and social issues along with sustainable and responsible living that will ultimately lead to a greener, healthier planet.
Our platforms, initiatives and concepts utilizing industrial hemp will accomplish several objectives from spreading awareness, instilling attainable solutions in communities, creating employment opportunities and stimulating economies all the while generating significant revenue for Tindakan to support proactive organizations and projects that are making true, direct change on the ground.
What we envision is a prodigious undertaking and it’s something we cannot do alone nor want to as we look at how societal shifts have come about from groundswells of diverse yet unified energy… a coming together of all walks of life to manifest enduring and powerful movements. That’s what Tindakan aims to do in consortium with these amazing organizations, eco-socially conscious entities, and people with whom we have aligned.
Garden Malenga
Malenga village is located in Malawi, Africa on the edge of the Phirilongwe forest reserve. It is there where the director of Tindakan, Jeremy Gregory, spent time in the Peace Corps teaching conservation and Community-Based Natural Resource Management. He returned having acquired a second family and home. The Malenga Project is in continuation of his projects he initiated with his second family and hopes this will ignite and spread throughout Malawi and Africa.
The purpose of the Malenga Project is to improve the quality of life by providing a catalyst for community development, encouraging self-reliance, self-sustainability, conserving resources and creating financial and educational opportunities. We hope to accomplish this primarily through the cultivation and production of industrial hemp.
It is our ultimate vision to create and promote internationally, a hemp farm eco-agricultural tour that will feature a cross-cultural exchange program for individuals, school students from the secondary to the college level, and generally those wishing to learn more about an amazing culture and the positive attributes industrial hemp offers us.
Garden Malenga Is a community garden that provides training and support for the people in the village, as well as generate income rather than depending on aid. The garden promotes health and a forum for community exchange. Harvested product is shipped on the FAIR Trade industry where the profits come back to strengthen the community’s infrastructure and promote independence and self-reliance.
Garden Malenga is a tool to train people to manage their resources in ways that are ecologically sustainable and culturally appropriate. These are designed for the restoration and management of available natural resources, providing positive livelihood opportunities to improve health, productivity, and quality of life.
