If you’ve ever dreamed of becoming self-sufficient and growing most of your own food, this talk by Armando Cruz will provide some inspiration! Armando will be sharing how he started from bare lifeless soil 3 years ago at his homestead in Portugal, and how he revitalized his soil by making compost from materials that he diverted from the waste stream, including 9,000 kilos of coffee grounds! Armando now gets over 60% of his food from his own abundant gardens, wild harvesting, and trading harvests with other people in his community!
