BIO-VERSITY
The term ‘Bio-versity’ was coined to describe the vision behind Samakanda – to create an open space for educational and healing activities amidst the natural abundance, inspiration and soothing environment of a tropical ‘forest garden’.
The ‘forest garden’ concept, or Analog Forestry, seeks to work with the inherent energy of the landscape, contrary to many modern forms of agriculture.
The basic principles of Analog Forestry echo the ethos of the Samakanda Bio-versity concept, a ‘biological university’ where Nature is the primary teacher and we are all the students, seeking to emulate the efficiency of natural systems rather than working against them.
