Mini-Ferme et B&B ELZEARD ( mini-Farm_B&B )
Creating a Mini-Farm / B&B « Land-Art , Agro-ecology & Sport » Harvesting the Fruit-Trees with a Zipline (with a brake).

Mini-Ferme et B&B ELZEARD ( mini-Farm_B&B )
(Combine several activities to create a synergy)
Creating a Food-Forest Mini-Farm and B&B « Land-Art, Agroecology & Sport »
Harvesting the Fruit-Trees with a Zipline with a brake...for everybody.
Wheelchair people–friendly harvesting, and school child-frienldy too......
Open to the public, for the sensitization to the agroecology
and to the importance of the small farmers
for the employment, health and planet.
Every city can create for the pupils of schools its own Food-Forest with zipline.
1) Creating a Mini-Farm and B&B based on the agro-ecological technique of the « Food Forest ».
A place to :
- Produce, Create and show easy-to-do agro-ecological techniques (urban / rural ),
- Organize Harvesting days in the Edible Food Forest (Zipline or by feet)
- Invitations for Land-Art artists, Ecologist : to create « Animals Hostel », workshop…
- Other natural activities : Walks, rides…(kiteboarding, discovering in the Bay of the Somme)…create photos & Videos about agroecology.
- Meeting room (at the 1rst floor) : for the Organisations that want to organise agro-ecological meeting
2) Creating a notebook to show with texts and pictures every building steps of these projects to help others to create their own project.
This design combines 3 things :
An Edible Food Forest
+
An Harvesting Air System with Zipline…
+
A Earth House

What is an Edible Food Forest :
(Agro-ecologic technic for everyone) (for any climate)
Gather on the same zone Trees, Shrubs and Vegetables , distributed according to their specificities and organized to share sun, water and nutriments and create a synergy.
- After design & Plantation, the biggest of the work is to harvest :
Fruits, walnuts, berries, Perpetual plants & vegetables, perenials Aromatics, Medicinals Mushrooms
-- No chemicals
-- No plowing, No seeding, No weeding
-- No watering ( rainwater stored, disseminated, infiltrated naturally)
-- Restores rural / peri-urban landscapes and Biodiversity.

1° ) ELZEARD’s Mini-Farm and B&B (2500 to 3500 M2), in FRANCE,
close to Amiens, the amazing « Bay of the Somme »
& the Great War Battlefields of the Somme, Picardy)
A design for a mini-Farm and B&B with « Agro-ecology, Sport & Land-Art » : Food, Education and sports.
Creating a place of Production, Harvesting, Accommodation, with agro-ecological and natural Discoveries : workshops & …. Walks, sport rides…
Let discover that we can be allowed carry by the nature, to live, produce and protect at the same time….
With an « Edible Food Forest », once designed and created the biggest of the work is to harvest.
The Elzeard Food Forest:
Another way of thinking :
- Work with the nature rather than against it.
- Do not eliminate a species
- Add the being lacking link to regulate the ecosystem
- Associate the complementary/partner plants
- Each elements performs many functions
- Each important function is supported by many elements
The Elzeard Harvesting Air System (with Zipline)…
The Elzeard Earth House :
2° ) Creating a Notebook to show the building steps of these 2 projects
Creating a notebook (digital) to show with texts and pictures every main building steps of these projects to help others to create their own.
If the project reaches its target and if a publisher want to publish this notebook, I will give up to « Terre de liens » 50 % of what the future sales of this notebook will bring back to me and use the rest to create Food forest elsewhere..
Agro-écology :
Stop the chemical eradication and discover Agro-ecology near at home.
Agro-ecology can protect the life, the climate, the employment, the biodiversity, people and can feed the planet…
INRA and Agro-pari-Tech are on the way to demonstrate that their agro-ecological systems-principles of production allow to create a full-time decent employment, for a person, (with only 1000-1500 m2 of culture).
Here a video (22 mn) to support agroEcology, local farming and Wwoofing (Sorry, only in french) :

Agro-ecology begins with a good management of the water and moisture in the ground :
Here some principles & techniques from Sepp Holzer (from his book "Desert or Paradise"):
« We must Recreate Complete aquatic landscapes »
Agro-ecology can also develop in urban zones, outer-urban :
Agro-ecology is also to let & help the others to build their autonomy…and protect Food sovereignty.
We can buy their products (local, organic and fair..) and also do Wwoofing.
Wwoofing:
« Live and learn on the organic Farms ».
Agro-ecology is also a way to fight against world hunger.
Agro-ecology for « Food sovereignty » and « Human Rights » :
Jean Ziegler (former special reporter to the UNO for « Right for Food », on 2000-2008,)
quotes 5 main reasons of the world hunger :
The speculation on foodstuffs
the (food) agro-fuel
the Foreign debt
the agricultural dumping
the land grabbing
European Economic Community should support the small farmers, should really invest for the agro-ecological transition and stabilize agricultural prices on the markets.
