Sustainable future in Belize
The ancient Chinese analects say that it is fortunate to live in exciting times. Never before has the human population enjoyed such beautiful freedoms and technological advances that have catapulted man into the ultimate comfort zone. We are free to fly anywhere in the world or perhaps the moon. Our every desire is merely at our fingertips. Food stuffs, alcohol and pharmaceuticals are readily available. Fast and cheap as ever before, we can get whatever we want delivered with the push of a button. The internet allows us to access and read any information ever even thought of. Global economics in its extreme complexity to bring it all together has created the ultimate and supreme industrial corporation where the bottom line profit is the samurai sword that cuts both ways. The Dual with dualism is winning its war. Have we forgotten the symbiotic relationship with nature that has brought us thus far?
The top is heavy and the support beneath stressed. The people want something to look forward to more than standards of living. Whose standards are better than your own? Let’s be realistic though. It cannot change overnight or break down because there are so many checks in place that balance the whole scheme from one end of the globe to any other. The economy’s complexity and diversification is its essence of survival. As long as there are free markets, there will be hardworking individuals to pick up the slack where others have failed in the competitive world. We have forgotten that competition is co-operation though. We must unite to compete. Competition is cooperatively building the community and not knocking the little guy out. We are only as strong as our weakest link.
Developing countries burdened by debt are becoming more innovative in their approach to commerce and ultimately wiser about productivity. At the end of the day feeding ones family is the bottom line. We believe what we see with out own eyes in
We see our cousins to the north getting sick. Cancer, diabetes, poor health from processed food like substances. Bombarded by advertisement and uneducated to make the right decisions about what they put into their bodies, they pay the ultimate price for cheap eating thrills. Does it even taste good. Does the strawberry milk taste like?? Or corn chips like, what??? Cheetos cheat us. It was not long ago that every country grew all its own food locally in small quantities enough to feed a family or small community cooperatively towards a common goal of health and longevity. Now we are concerned with making enough money, equity, real estate, investment portfolios so that we may retire and enjoy the latter part of life. But why not enjoy it now and have a better future, more rewarding, healthier than our parents and with a closer spiritual relationship with our food, family and ultimately with God.
This alternative to the rat race is possible; A lifestyle outside the normal expectations; balance between technology and nature. Living does not have to be so complicated with wants and needs. What you truly value in your heart is all the need you will ever want. Love can bring you to this equilibrium state of mind. Do you love what you eat? Are your loved ones health important ? Food is viability. You are what you eat. Clean air, good rain water can take you a long way and great food will take you even further. This is a priority to many. Eating well is number one. Consider “your food your medicine and your medicine your food”. By preventing illness with diet and age old wisdom of plants known as ethno-botany, we can live better, healthier less guilty lives. Take a step out of the box and see it now. Our food is security for the future.
At our farm we think locally about where to shop. Local domestic meat and eggs can all be gathered from local village farmers. Fruits and vegetables grow in the yard or at the doorstep with a little hard work. It may be that we never have the time to sweat the rice or harvest beans but it does grow in
Bamboo is the focus of sustainable agriculture at our farm in the forest reserve. We hope to some day construct housing and furniture and produce edible shoots for the free markets in
