Gardening Find
I don’t know how many of you saw the comment on the gardening post but I have done some research and found The Food For Everyone Foundation. Their mission “Teach the world to grow food one family at a time”. The following information was found on their web site:
“The Foundation’s purposes include encouraging and fostering the development, understanding, and distribution of the most efficient scientific non-polluting and ecologically sensitive food production procedures, by sponsoring and supporting the research, development, and dissemination of the best possible gardening methods and techniques, and the most effective information delivery systems and teaching methods throughout the world, with primary emphasis on the developing countries.
We also encourage the development of education in gardening procedures and techniques in the USA by teaching and training the public in effective gardening methods.
And we encourage and assist in developing self-sufficiency in the production of food among people throughout the world by sponsoring, teaching and training classes and seminars; by providing financial assistance to worthy and needy students; and by assisting in providing materials, equipment, tools, seed, and fertilizers sufficient for trained students to achieve gardening success in their own communities.
James B. (Jim) Kennard, the President of the Foundation, has a wealth of leadership, financial, business, teaching, and gardening training and experience upon which to draw in helping the Foundation to achieve its goals. He is a retired Certified Public Accountant (CPA), practicing as managing partner in a Salt Lake City firm since 1972, and has also owned and successfully managed several different businesses, including hotels, shopping centers, apartments, and retail establishments during the past twenty years.
Jim has been a Mittleider gardener for the past twenty-six years, he is a Master Mittleider Gardening Instructor, and has taught classes and worked one-on-one with Dr. Jacob Mittleider on several gardening projects in the USA and abroad.”
They also have some excellent gardening books as well as plenty of free stuff. Look around and you will find it. This seems like a great resource and a great organization to support.
Nice website!!
