Designed For Life Workshop


Living Seeds Initiative is hosting Designed for Life: Agriculture Development and Food Production Workshop October 5 - 9, 2009 in Garden Valley, TX. You can download a flyer and registration form here (PDF). Below is a summary of the workshop.

Living Seeds Initiative created Designed for Life as a workshop to address this question, and to explore the opposite question: “What if hunger wasn't part of God!s plan?” Our workshop teaches effective and applicable principles in sustainable food production through a combination of classroom theory, group processing, and hands on gardening techniques.

• Organic food growing techniques
• Worldview and the way people live
