Agricultural project: Roots and Origins

   ROOTS AND ORIGINS „If you want to make small changes, Change how you do things If you want major changes,   change how you see things! “                                        Don Campbell (holistic management)     Agriculture, as known in these days, is closing to its end.

Because of usage of standard agricultural techniques, soil have lost most of its original purpose and powers: to grow plants, holding water, collecting sun and to feed animals and people.

Its approach is to find ways to link sustainability, diversity and entrepreneurship for youth. The project gives space to talk about how we can promote the i
