MEXICO CITY– Climb to a rooftop and scan the horizon of Mexico’s capital, and you’re likely to see nearby rooftops or balconies with vegetable gardens.
Urban rooftop gardening is on the cusp of a boom, sponsored by a City Hall that sees gardening as a way to alleviate poverty, provide residents with their own healthy food and add some green to one of the world’s most populous cities.
Hello everybody. After trying to start a community Facebook-style site on our website, we’ve realized it just doesn’t work. When the technology already exists, like Facebook, Twitter, etc… we may as well use them to our advantage. Perhaps in a couple of months/years, when our user base expands, we can try to build a community at that point. However, in the mean time, please join us here:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/ecovillagemexico/ and let’s start the conversation!
This is probably one of the most positive videos you could view when it comes to organic gardening. Learn how to have a garden free of weeds, free from having to water, and virtually no maintenance at all! Check out the video below:
Después de años de un agotador esfuerzo quebrando la tierra devastada por los efectos de métodos de cultivo hechizos, Paul Gautschi ha descubierto un ejemplo de lo que Dios quiso ofrecerle a la humanidad en el Jardín de Edén. Algunos de los asuntos vitales que la agricultura enfrenta hoy en día, incluye la preparación de la tierra, fertilización, irrigación, control de la maleza, control de plagas, rotación de cultivos y cuestiones de pH. Ninguno de estos factores se presenta en el estado no alternado de la naturaleza ni en los jardines y huertos de Paul.
VOLVER A EDÉN te invita a caminar junto a Paul mientras él te enseña métodos orgánicos y sustentables de cultivo que pueden implementarse en diversos climas en todo el mundo.

Last summer, two researchers from the New England Complex Systems Institute published a short paper examining the correlation between rising food prices and civil unrest. It was a timely analysis, to say the least. A number of food riots were occurring throughout the world, not to mention waves of revolution sparked by the high cost of food.
This is nothing new; throughout history whenever people have struggled to put food on the table for their families, social unrest has been a common consequence.
The French Revolution is a classic example

Maybe you remember the 1991 film starring the late Jack Palance, Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern, Bruno Kirby, Helen Slater, and Yeardley Smith (the voice of Lisa Simpson) that tells the story of three wealthy men in the throes of midlife crises who attempt to find themselves on a cattle ranch. Getting far more than they bargained for, each returns to their lives in New York City changed men, ready to face their former lives with a new outlook and a set of skills that most who are raised in a “concrete jungle” traditionally don’t learn.
Around 1000 people per day are still losing their jobs in Greece with the percentage of the population not working now uncomfortably larger than those who are employed. This is creating drastic – or perhaps more aptly philosophical – reflections by its people. As the BBC reports, the feeling in Greece is that a “whole generation is on hold” and there is a growing trend towards the creation self-sustaining eco-communities – free of the ties of money and modern civilization. “What others saw as a global economic crisis, [Greeks] saw as a crisis of civilization” and so they are trying something different, growing their own food, bartering with one another, and exchanging surpluses with other villages.
