WORK IN PROGRESS
At Checkdam.org we beleive that land and water restoration offers a golden opporunity for investors.
The business model is simple: buy degraded, semi arid land, soak in the winter rains and plant food forests and syntropic agriculture. Create access roads, features to capture the runoff and tent sites where guests irrigate the young trees with their daily activites. Restoration tourism provides the work force to heal the land while they learn skills needed for the new water paradymn. A modest amount of permenent housing is eventually rented out to farmers as the tents and tourists move to the next site. The land is owned in trust and protected forever.
Or you can invest in the projects with a 10 year bond. In line with inflation.
