Rescuing Farms | Raising up People | Restoring Local Communities

Currently, 40% of American farmland is owned by individuals aged 65 and older, while the number of new farmers and ranchers is declining. 

We have a limited window to ensure these farms are transferred to a new generation and to provide the necessary support for them to succeed.  

A lot of these farms will not survive another financial downturn, many are not able to refinance in the current lending environment, strict requirements and high interest rates. 

Sustainaculture is dedicated to preserving farmland and restoring local communities.

We have to have a sense of urgency!

Introduction to Sustainaculture Farming

Farming has always been an essential aspect of human life, providing food and resources necessary for survival. However, as the world has evolved and populations have grown, industrial agricultural practices have emerged, leading to negative environmental impacts. Soil erosion, water pollution, and poor quality food are all consequences of modern agriculture practices. As a result, many farmers and agricultural practitioners have turned to sustainable farming practices that prioritize soil health and conservation, such as Sustainaculture.

Sustainaculture is a sustainable farming practice that combines Sustainaculture, organic farming, permaculture and no-till farming. These practices are based on the principle of working with nature rather than against it, and they promote sustainable agriculture and reduce the negative impacts of modern agriculture. Sustainaculture incorporates biblically based principles, including stewardship and care for creation. By combining these practices, farmers can promote sustainability, reduce environmental impacts, and fulfill their biblical responsibilities.

Sustainaculture Farming

Sustainaculture farming emphasizes the development of permanent agricultural ecosystems that mimic natural systems. Sustainaculture is based on three core principles: Care for the soil, care for people, and sharing. This practice recognizes that agriculture should be developed in a way that benefits the local people who depend on it.

Sustainaculture systems are designed to be self-sustaining and require minimal external inputs. This is achieved by using natural processes such as companion planting, crop rotation, and natural pest control. Sustainaculture also involves the use of perennial crops such as fruit trees, which require less labor and resources to maintain than annual crops. 

Sustainaculture systems also incorporate animals, such as chickens and pigs, which are used for their manure and help to control pests and weeds.

Sustainaculture is rooted in the biblical concept of stewardship, which is the idea that humans are responsible for managing and caring for the earth. Genesis 2:15 states, “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” This verse emphasizes the importance of caring for the earth and managing it responsibly.

Organic Farming

Organic farming is a farming practice that emphasizes the use of natural processes and avoids the use of synthetic chemicals, such as pesticides and fertilizers. Organic farming is based on the principles of soil health, biodiversity, and ecological balance. This practice recognizes that healthy soil is essential for healthy crops, and healthy crops are essential for healthy people.

Organic farming involves the use of natural fertilizers, such as vermiculture, compost and manure, which improve soil health and increase nutrient availability. Organic farmers also use natural pest control methods, such as companion planting and crop rotation, to manage pests and diseases. By avoiding the use of synthetic chemicals, organic farming reduces negative environmental impacts such as soil degradation and water pollution.

Organic farming is rooted in the biblical principle of stewardship. 

In Deuteronomy 22:6-7, it says, “If you come across a bird’s nest in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs and the mother sitting on the young or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young. You shall let the mother go, but the young you may take for yourself, that it may go well with you, and that you may live long.” This verse emphasizes the importance of caring for and preserving the natural world.

No-Till Farming

No-till farming is a sustainable farming practice that involves planting crops without disturbing the soil. Traditional farming methods involve plowing and tilling the soil to prepare it for planting. However, this practice can lead to soil erosion and a loss of soil structure. No-till farming involves leaving the soil undisturbed and planting crops directly into the soil.

No-till farming has several benefits, including improved soil health, reduced soil erosion, and increased water retention. By leaving the soil undisturbed, no-till farming promotes the growth of beneficial microorganisms, which help to break down organic matter and improve soil structure. No-till farming also helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by minimizing soil disturbance, which can release carbon into the atmosphere.

No-till farming is rooted in the biblical principle of stewardship. In Leviticus 25:4, it says, “But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of Sabbath rest, a Sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards.” This verse emphasizes the importance of caring for the land and allowing it to rest and regenerate.

Sustainaculture

Sustainaculture is a sustainable farming practice that combines permaculture, organic farming, and no-till farming. This practice is based on the principle of working with nature rather than against it and promotes sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation. Sustainaculture also incorporates biblically based principles, including stewardship and care for creation.

Sustainaculture systems are designed to be self-sustaining and require minimal external inputs. By combining Sustainaculture, organic farming, , and no-till farming, Sustainaculture promotes healthy soil, biodiversity, and ecological balance. This practice also helps to reduce negative environmental impacts such as soil erosion, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions.

Sustainaculture is rooted in the biblical concept of stewardship. In Genesis 1:26, it says, “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.'” This verse emphasizes the importance of caring for the earth and managing it responsibly.

Benefits of Sustainaculture

Sustainaculture offers several benefits over traditional industrial agriculture practices. These benefits include:

  1. Environmental Conservation: Sustainaculture promotes environmental conservation by reducing negative environmental impacts such as soil erosion, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions.
  2. Soil Health: Sustainaculture promotes healthy soil by incorporating natural fertilizers, such as compost and manure, and promoting the growth of beneficial microorganisms.
  1. Biodiversity: Sustainaculture incorporates diverse crop rotations, companion planting, and perennial crops, which promote biodiversity and ecological balance.
  2. Food Security: Sustainaculture systems are designed to be self-sustaining and require minimal external inputs, making them more resilient to changes in climate and other environmental factors.
  3. Economic Viability: Sustainaculture can be economically viable for small-scale farmers, as it reduces the need for costly inputs such as synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

Sustainaculture and Faith

Sustainaculture also has significant implications for faith communities. The practice of sustainable agriculture is rooted in the biblical principles of stewardship and care for creation. Sustainaculture offers a practical way for people of faith to live out these principles and promote environmental conservation.

In addition, sustainable agriculture can be seen as a way of honoring God’s creation. In Psalm 24:1, it says, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” By practicing sustainable agriculture, we can demonstrate our respect for God’s creation and our responsibility to care for it.

Sustainaculture also has social justice implications. Sustainable agriculture practices can help to promote food security and economic viability for small-scale farmers. This is important, as small-scale farmers often have limited access to resources and can be vulnerable to environmental and economic challenges.

Faith communities can also play a role in promoting sustainable agriculture practices. Churches, synagogues, and other faith communities can support local farmers who practice sustainable agriculture by purchasing their products and promoting their practices. Faith communities can also advocate for policies that support sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation.

Challenges and Limitations

While Sustainaculture offers many benefits, there are also challenges and limitations to this practice. One challenge is the need for education and training. Sustainable agriculture practices require a different approach to farming than traditional industrial agriculture practices, and farmers may need education and training to learn these practices.

Another challenge is the need for capital for investment. Sustainable agriculture practices may require additional investment in infrastructure and equipment, such as greenhouses, composting systems and no-till planters.

There are also limitations to the scalability of sustainable agriculture practices. While Sustainaculture can be economically viable for small-scale farmers, it may not be practical for large-scale commercial agriculture operations. Additionally, sustainable agriculture practices may not be suitable for all types of crops and environments. However, environments can be restored using sustainable farming practices. 

Conclusion

Sustainaculture is a sustainable farming practice that combines permaculture, organic farming, and no-till farming, all of which are based on the principle of working with nature rather than against it. Sustainaculture also incorporates biblically based principles, including stewardship and care for creation.

Sustainaculture offers several benefits over traditional industrial agriculture practices, including environmental conservation, healthy soil, biodiversity, food security, and economic viability.
