The Valhalla Project is a Guatemala based organization that seeks to reverse global
warming, assist indigenous people in developing self-sustaining agriculture, and
educate the public about the environment. We accomplish this mission by planting
trees. The Valhalla project introduces ungrafted Macadamia seedlings to indigenous
people as an alternative to slash and burn agriculture, which contributes to global
warming.
Macadamia
Cultivation Benefits
>>
Reforestation
The Valhalla Station has donated over 200,000 macadamia trees to
indigenous communities. These trees go to replant destroyed forests
and serve as remarkably efficient carbon sinks.
>>
Jobs
The Macadamia agribusiness provides a more secure lively hood for
the poor farmer than the volatile coffee industry. Communities can
use new incomes to improve infrastructure education and health. |
|
>>
Food
The Macadamia nut contains a wealth of important nutrients
and is an edible alternative to coffee beans. Poor farmers have a
food source if their crops do not sell or prices drop.
>>
Sustainability
Macadamia
Nut farming does not exhaust the soils and required moving to other
locations or bringing in huge amounts of fertilizer.

We are convinced
that a crisis is at hand!
Global
warming and global climate change are destroying the planet. We
are dedicated to the preservation and healing of the planet through
sustainable agriculture and the education of indigenous people.
For over twenty years we have been planting and maintaining Macadamia
trees, preserving the rainforest and promoting sustainable agriculture.
Our forests are being destroyed at a rate of approximately a football
field every 2 seconds. It is imperative to stop and reverse this
process to ensure the survival of ourselves, our children and
our grandchildren.
We are focused on the Valhalla Project to continue
our effort to educate, promote sustainable agriculture and plant
trees now! |
