Robert Patterson
“Earth Boxes: Sustainable Food Production for All”
3:00–4:30 pm, Lake Chapala Society, Back Patio
Together with his partners, Robert Patterson operates EarthBox Mexico, a social enterprise dedicated to reintroducing sustainable food production to families, schools and institutions across Mexico. The EarthBox, their principal product, is entirely "localized" in terms of inputs, and uses 60-80% less water than conventional farming/gardening.
EarthBox Mexico teaches and helps families and institutions build highly productive, space/water/labor efficient food-growing systems all across Mexico.
Following a thirty-plus year career with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Robert moved to Mexico to operate EarthBox Mexico.
Everyone is welcome!
