The post-holiday period to restart classes began today at the Politécnica Territorial de Mérida Kleber Ramírez University (UPTMKR) with an activity on sustainable agricultural value based on the 'Biointensivo" method taught to students in the Training Program in Agro-Food, as research teachers and also as agro-producers and institutional representatives.
Our institution continues to strengthen bilateral relations with Mexico.
Cuba
Today, we welcomed Mr. Juan Manuel Martinez Valdez, President of the Mexican NGO El Mezquite -ECOPOL, who has maintained historical ties of collaboration with our Faculty of Agronomy - UNAH to promote the Biointensive Cultivation Method as a good practice that promotes the production of healthy and safe food.
8-MONTH INTERNSHIP WITH ECOLOGY ACTION
In April 2025 our adventure began to learn the “Cultivate Biointensively” method. Janet Nina Cusiyupanqui, a Peruvian national, and Eva Asher, a Mexican national, are currently conducting the 8-month internship program at Ecology Action at the “Victory Garden for Peace” garden in Mendocino, California. On a daily basis, we are learning and strengthening our knowledge of the 8 principles of the method. We have the opportunity to participate in field practices with the instruction of Matthew Drewno and online classes with Jhon Jeavons.
Huerto del Mezquite.
last semester of 2025
In Mexico we are fortunate to have two Masters in the Biointensive Method, Marisol Tenorio and Agustín Medina; they will periodically share their valuable experiences with the crops, yields, pests, and other details of their garden; we hope this section will be of guidance and help to the Biointensive Growers who read this “Report on the Garden”; we also hope you will share your reports with us and we will be happy to publish them here.
Huerto de Javi y Liliane, La Puebla de Fantova, Spain.
Years ago I had the privilege of meeting an exceptional woman, Liliane Spendeler, a French woman living in Spain who was part of the staff of “Amigos de la Terra España” and who decided to move to the Pyrenees to get closer to nature. Since then, her lifestyle has radically changed and she is now a prominent Biointensivist; below is her letter from last December and photos of her garden; notice the beautiful composts that Javi and Liliane make.
Statement on intensive organic agriculture in the face of climate change
The participants in the Latin American meeting “Biointensive Agriculture in the Face of Climate Change” in which representatives from 19 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean as well as the United States, Russia and Kenya took part, gathered in Xochitla, State of Mexico during the days 3 to 9 May 2010, issued the following declaration, which, 15 years later, today, the World Environment Day, remains absolutely valid.
Sustainable Organic Agriculture on a Human Scale Biointensive Cultivation Method
Organic Agriculture is a state of consciousness; it is not enough to know how to grow food without agrochemicals; it is just as or more important to have a clear awareness of how, why, and for what; the consequences of not having it clear are obvious, because humanity has never been so sick and acculturated as it is now.
Conscious of the greater challenges facing the world and the basic need of people to feed themselves, we have developed a system of small-scale agriculture – the CULTIVE BIOINTENSIVELY SUSTAINABLE cultivation method.MR — which feeds the soil, produces high yields, conserves resources and can be used successfully by almost everyone — is our goal: to help make this system known and used locally — worldwide.
Ecology Action, ECOPOL and El Mezquite have catalyzed projects worldwide through training, advisory services, internships, online schools, and publications. This consortium of NGOs is present in 152 countries worldwide and has an estimated 10 million Biointensivists who produce abundant food without agrochemicals, in small spaces, with the resources available in any rural community, while restoring and increasing the fertility of their soils. The principles, techniques, and practical solutions it uses come from the cultures that preceded us.
