Indigenous-Led Alliance re establishes TEK Approach to Conservation of Natural Resources through In-Situ Regenerative Agriculture and Amendment Application of Biochar in Consort with Non-GMO Native Microbiota
The rapid rate of degradation of air, water, and soil quality is of major concern, especially for underserved and disproportionately-affected tribal, minority, and low-income farmers and communities. Although considerable efforts have been put forth from a multitude of sources, these previously proposed solutions have fallen short for a variety of reasons.
The TEK (Traditional Ecological Knowledge) Approach brings about innovative practices sourced from ancestral and indigenous ecological knowledge to produce a seemingly revolutionary solution. This approach utilizes biochar with a variety of native non-GMO microbes combined with indigenous traditional principles of regenerative agriculture to establish and enhance not only immediate conservation efforts of fundamental natural resources but to fulfill an obligation to establish and maintain a sustainable state for seven generations and beyond.
University-supported research (to include application thereof) demonstrates that the TEK Approach effectively increased the overall condition of both water and soil health. Support is needed for the Alliance to expand field trials to include indigenous-led partners to employ the TEK Approach on multiple contaminated sites to solidify best practices for widespread application of the TEK Approach. The primary objective is to establish a protocol that, when implemented, will promote the conservation of land and water in a manner which is productive, safe, environmentally beneficial and cost-effective. Culturally appropriate methodologies will be employed to communicate project-optimized practices through education and outreach programs to target historically-underserved indigenous, minority, and low-income farmers and communities. Utilization of such practices will empower the target groups to grow profitable, safe, diverse and culturally appropriate crops to reduce food insecurity, promote viable livelihoods and ensure clean, working lands.
Scope: Outreach Education Demonstrations of Indigenous Stewardship Methods This ISM will build capacity advocates, organize and train American Indian farmers and ranchers in climate-smart methods planning and implementation of conservation.
Purpose: Improve soil health; water quality and air quantity; Provide habitat for local wildlife species of concern; Improve the environmental and economic performance of land; Build Strengthen local community sustainable food production and economic
Provide conservation solutions that transmuting pesticide residues, heavy metals, chemicals fertilizers radioactive elements into beneficial essential fatty acids generating food for the environment.
Implement ISM nature based cultural methods to replace toxic commercial agricultural practices
Summary of Project Objectives
Indigenous Alliance reestablishes TEK Approach to Conservation of Natural Resources through In-Situ Regenerative Agriculture and Amendment Application: Biochar in Consort with Non-GMO Native Microbiota and Phytoremediation
