School is the place where I do what I like when I am happy and calm. This is Vosqe Lawen. There are 50 hectares dedicated to the regenerative agriculture of life. Happy and calm we go through life, working with our community to have more and better food. Sharing and enriching the wisdom of connecting with nature.
We develop regenerative technology that allows us to produce nutritious food and healing plants.
This project consists of the construction of a place with bioconstruction technology, friendly to the landscape and that works with sustainable energy systems. A space for meetings, training, artistic activities. A place that offers food made with food that is produced in the field and that does not lose its nutritional quality.
There will also be a soil and food chromatography laboratory that will allow us to see their nutritional quality through colors.
The chromatography presented in this learning space allows to determine, in a qualitative and simple way, the life of the soil and its relationship between minerals, microbiology, organic matter, humification, soil carbon, imbalances and balances, soil respiration, toxic residues, among others. others. The patterns have been established by several researchers, mainly E. Pfeiffer, and correspond to the analysis of soils, organic fertilizers and humus, in order to facilitate the interpretation of the chromas. From this, the methodology and criteria pre-established by E. Pfeiffer have been considered, to determine the parameters for the interpretation of the soils that pioneers of organic agriculture such as Jairo Restrepo and Sebastian Pinheiro have shared and promoted throughout the world.
We will also develop protection techniques, improvement of soil fertility and Successional Agroforestry Systems (SAFSs). This includes topics like: PROTECTION AND IMPROVEMENT OF SOIL FERTILITY. This contemplates the construction of agrolevels, thread level, ridge level, Design of the protected plot, Determination of the slope, soil depth, Main line and estimation of the distances between protection structures, Tracing of the contour lines, Correction and marking of contour lines, for the construction of soil protection structures.
ESTABLISHMENT OF SOIL PROTECTION TECHNIQUES. Construction of soil protection techniques with locally available materials; Stone walls (pircas), living barriers, based on straw, bushes (falaris, broom) and other combined techniques; infiltration and crowning ditches, soil preparation and tillage, minimum tillage, use of animal manure, improvement of pens to maintain manure fertility SUCCESSIONAL AGROFORESTRY SYSTEMS (SAFS). Processes of ¨soil formation¨, explanatory model, Diagnosis of the current situation of the production systems in the area, Re-knowing the principles of the natural eco-system, experiences and results of the successional çagroforestry systems, Dry design of the systems successional agroforestry, taking into account the identified principles; Diversity, coverage, strata, consortia, minimum tillage, Establishment of the plot in SAFS, Selective weeding activities and synchronized pruning (after the establishment of the plot based on its development), Elaboration of SAFS on flip charts, Establishment of polycultures, Selective weeding and complementation of sowings, Synchronized pruning, Dry and live covers, in the plots, Importance of water in agricultural production.
It includes a center for the production of bio-preparations that will constantly be researching and innovating in the production and use of products that improve the life of the soil.
Production techniques for crops protected under greenhouses and heating systems, this intended for the production of seedlings that will later go to a nursery to finish their development or the definitive plantation. This includes the rescue of native berries, ancient fruits, edible mushrooms and medicinal plants.
For all this we need the collaboration of bees as pollinators. That is why an apiary with organic and biodynamic management will be developed.
A laboratory will be implemented to study insects and their biological cycles to find out how we work with them.
School for the dissemination of regenerative technology with the communities Technical teams and producers linked to State development programs will participate in this school. The Municipality of Vilcon, together with the technical team of the Vosqe Lawen School, will select producers according to their attitude and productive aptitude so that they can implement regenerative agriculture techniques in their productive systems and be able to organize a SPG Participatory Management System to access Chilean organic certification.
Located in a beautiful natural environment, with native forests and native flora, which invites you to live in the wild landscape. In Mainque, on the Rio Negro, Patagonia, Argentina.
Vosqe Soluna is a project in a field of 10,000 hectares near the town of Mainque, department of General Roca, province of Rio Negro, with a river coast and land on the steppe and desert. We are in our initial stage, convening investors, people and organizations interested in building a sustainable, fair, ecological and healthy reality. The project is to found an avant-garde eco-sustainable town, with advanced organic and biodynamic agroecological production, regenerating soils with CO2 recapture, offering top quality and healthy food with education and comprehensive health. We are strongly committed to the environment, which is why it is essential to generate new ways of living in society and to produce clean and renewable energy. Solar panels and other clean forms of power generation will be installed. We will promote the movement of people from the big city to rural areas by offering new real estate developments that take care of the environment, promoting sustainability in all areas, value chains in micro-regions, education and comprehensive health.
The mission is to strengthen the development of small neighboring towns through decent work, agroecological production, and the development of healthy technologies for people, the environment and socially responsible. We will promote soil regeneration using cutting-edge technology and renewable energy in production (windmills, solar and hydraulic pumps, and ponds), developing new ecological strategies in irrigation, weed management, pests, and fertilization. We will develop an ecological commune with sustainable housing (low-impact materials) and innovative systems for caring for the environment at the energy level, waste collection and recycling, waste management and use of water resources. In the social aspect, decent and autonomous work and housing will be promoted with a new concept of town, where people who share a common interest in lifestyle, social and environmental responsibility coexist with diverse areas of expertise to develop the area. It will allow low-income families to access their own land, forming part of a cooperative. This model admits that each person can contribute what they have: knowledge, financing, workforce or profession, equalizing opportunities and favoring interdisciplinary and horizontal work. A bridge will be built linking the commune of Mainque and route 22 with the area, favoring the productive growth of the fence, facilitating transportation for the inhabitants with even greater regional development, favoring the migration of people and sustainable productive development in this region. depopulated.
The economic model is carried out prioritizing the welfare of the worker, their growth and development, favoring identification with the project and rooting in the region. There are 4,000 hectares allocated for organic agricultural production of fruit trees, nuts, olive trees, vineyards, vegetables, seeds and cereals, with more than 40 different varieties. Sowing agriculture will be complemented by the planting of fruit trees, nuts and medicinal herbs, generating economic, environmental and social sustainability. The project includes the production of a wide variety of organic, vegan and vegetarian processed products. They have been designed based on our knowledge of the market, the needs of consumers, together with the culture of each country of destination. Two industrial plants are proposed for the production of processed foods and organic beverages, in accordance with the growing global demand for healthy products. One third of the organic agricultural inputs needed for the production of food and beverages will be developed and produced by the project itself. The other two thirds will be independent producers in the region, favoring the development of small regional economies. Its commercialization will be to satisfy the demand of consumers in Latin America and the Asian continent. By opting for the use of renewable energy, the variable costs of irrigation are eliminated, which usually involves a great risk and in turn generates greater profitability. Finally, the sale of lots financed for 30 years will be an additional contribution to the financing of the project, ensuring the profitability of the land for a sustained period over time.
A school and a comprehensive health center will be built that will provide quality services (in a place where they do not exist), favoring integration, generating training and an additional source of income. Finally, some 400 hectares will be developed for the sale of lots, in which ecological housing will be offered in a natural context, promoting the migration of professionals from the city to rural areas, promoting teleworking and improving connectivity, with the development of new green cities integrated in community life.
