Extreme Dry Climate, High Value Farming WEBINAR REPLAY! + We're in the news!

Published: Sun, 11/27/16

Hey All,
    Sustainable Design Masterclass hosted an amazing webinar with Nicolas Netien, a drylands farmer in Cyprus growing olive and carob polycultures.  Nicolas taught how he cooperates with nature to a world-record olive oil with the most polyphenols per liter on the planet.  

​​​​​​​Some of the highlights were:
  • How Nic uses wild birds to grow wild asparagus, a high-dollar, hard-to-grow delicacy in Cyprus
  • Nic’s awesome irrigation system, including silt-traps that collect his potting soil for him.
  • The techniques Nic has used to create a thriving polyculture even though the last year has only had 3 mm of rainfall—that’s barely over 1/10 of an inch!
  • Nic’s methods for harvesting and pressing one of the highest-value olive oils in the world from young kalamon-variety trees .  (Rated Healthiest in the World!)
 This was a fantastic webinar, and in fact, and  it was even featured on the
