- Development of additional e-books and training to create a set of coordinated cooperatives (cooperatives eco-set) for communities worldwide. This set of cooperatives will help transform land and water for permanent fruit, vegetable and herbs food forests by harvesting water from Earth and roof surface rain collection, while restoring the land and fresh water tributaries plus recycling human waste as compost. In addition, the cooperatives will develop water resources strictly intended for animal sanctuaries away from farming.
