We also invite you to share your own reports with us—we’d be happy to publish them here!
8-MONTH INTERNSHIP IN ECOLOGY ACTION
Our adventure to learn the “Grow Biointensive” Method started in April of the year 2025. I am Janet Nina Cusiyupanqui and I am Peruvian and I am Eva Asher and I am Mexican. We are currently doing an 8-month internship in Ecology Action at the Victory Garden for Peace in Mendocino, California. We are learning and strengthening the knowledge related to the 8 principles of the Method day by day. We have the opportunity of doing field practices under the instruction of Matthew Drewno and of taking on-line classes with John Jeavons.
The 9th Spanish Edition of the Biointensive Method’s
Flagship Book Now Available
The ninth Spanish edition of How to Grow More Vegetables (and Fruit, Nuts, Berries, Grains, and Other Crops) by John Jeavons— the foundational text of the Biointensive Method— is now available. Biointensivists can purchase it at a special price through the distribution channels listed in the footer
Orchard Report
In Mexico, we are fortunate to count on two Masters of the Biointensive Method: Marisol Tenorio and Agustín Medina. They will be periodically sharing valuable insights from their orchard—including information on crops, yields, pests, and other relevant experiences. We hope this “Orchard Report” will serve as a useful guide and source of inspiration for fellow Biointensivists.
Declaration on Biointensive Agriculture in the Face of Climate Change
The participants of the Latin American meeting “Biointensive Agriculture in the Face of Climate Change”—including representatives from 19 Latin American and Caribbean countries, as well as the United States, Russia, and Kenya—gathered in Xochitla, State of Mexico, from May 3 to 9, 2010.
They issued the following declaration, which remains just as relevant and powerful 15 years later—on this World Environment Day.
Online Biointensive School Now Available
To support the work of certified teachers and make training more accessible to those who cannot attend our in-person workshops, we are pleased to announce the launch of the Online Biointensive School.

Organic Agriculture Is a State of Consciousness
Organic farming goes beyond simply growing food without agrochemicals. It requires a deep awareness of how, why, and for what purpose we cultivate the land.
Without this clarity of conscience, the consequences are evident: humanity has never been as ill or as disconnected from its cultural and ecological roots as it is today.
A Global Response Rooted in the Soil In response to the world’s growing challenges—and the fundamental need of all people to eat—we have developed a small-scale farming system: the GROW BIOINTENSIVE MR Method. This approach nourishes the soil, delivers high yields, conserves natural resources, and can be successfully practiced by people in diverse settings around the world. Our goal is to support its recognition and adoption at the local level—across the globe
A Global Biointensive Movement
Through training workshops, mentorship, internships, online education, and publications, Ecology Action, ECOPOL, and El Mezquite have helped catalyze Biointensive projects across the globe.
This consortium of NGOs is now active in 152 countries, supporting an estimated 10 million Biointensivists—people who grow abundant food without agrochemicals, in small spaces, using locally available resources, and with significantly less water, energy, and fertilizer. At the same time, they restore and enhance the fertility of their soils.
The principles, techniques, and practical solutions of the Biointensive Method are rooted in the wisdom of ancestral agricultural cultures that came before us.
