food forestry for the desert and famine belt

Jesus dictated the book of Revelation to John:

Revelation 1

New International Version

Prologue

1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.

What Jesus said about earth care:

Revelation 11:16-18

New International Version

16 And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying:

“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
    the One who is and who was,
because you have taken your great power
    and have begun to reign.

18 

The nations were angry,
    and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,
    and for rewarding your servants the prophets

and your people who revere your name,

    both great and small—

and for destroying those who destroy the earth.” 

"The purpose of farming is not the growing of crops. The purpose of farming is the development and perfection of human beings. Natural farming is the zenith of enlightenment" Masanobu Fukuoka.

"So long as one feeds on food from unhealthy soil, the spirit will lack the stamina to free itself from the prison of the body." - Rudolf Steiner

If you believe in the grace of God you will love.

If you love you will seek

If you seek you will find

"You will know them by their fruits"

"Behold the Man"

A system that produces cauliflowers in February and Mealies in July; without any synthetic infrastructure at all; that re-seeds itself and yields crops every day from 6 weeks after laying it out; that maintains and improves its own fertility and irrigates itself through drought; a living pantry that needs only to be harvested; that can replace humus from within the system at a rate of 2 storeys of biomass in a month. 

Applied on a catchment scale drought will be forgotten; on a continental scale it will bring rain to the dry lands. 

If you serve idols the rain of your country will turn to dust and powder; if you spend yourself on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted soul you will be like a well watered garden, a spring of waters that never fails. Desertification has spread from the ‘cradle of civilization’ the ‘Fertile Crescent’ and ‘land overflowing with milk and honey’ which is now the Dead Sea, the world’s worst salt pan by man.

“Put a true husbandman on 5 acres of wilderness and its diversity and yield of wild and domesticated crops will multiply” paraphrased from the earlier works of John Seymour, author of ‘The Complete Guide to Self Sufficiency’. Since life on earth began it has evolved towards the support of increasingly higher levels of sentient life. 

This means that the collective consciousness of humanity has lost its sentience. “What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?” Jesus Christ.
