Inspired by the ancient Polynesians, who carried with them a set of “canoe plants” to create fully self-sustaining, resilient civilizations through out the Pacific Islands, so too do we wish to promote the spread of new canoe plants to address the environmental & human needs of today. Utilizing traditional agroforestry techniques and modern permaculture principles, Abundant Earth (AE) provides a sustainable, full-nutrition food system accessible to both home gardens & commercial agriculture.
Together these plants create a perennial closed-loop 'food forest' requiring no external inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. AE plants have been selected for their natural resilience to pests, disease, and rapidly changing global climactic conditions, to create a garden that everyone can grow regardless of previous agricultural experience or lack of ‘green thumb’.
Together we can create a new, resilient, food paradigm. For a full list of current official AE Plants see below.
