Raised Garden System, Trellising

An intensive food production model utilizing raised garden beds and vertical trellising, managed with organic inputs and IPM strategies. Designed for high-yield organic vegetable and fruit cultivation within a smaller footprint, this system showcases efficient land use and water management. It supports the Climate Force site's self-sufficiency goals and serves as a replicable model for localized, high-nutrition food production in tropical communities, with detailed cost-benefit analysis tracked for economic viability.

ClimateForce Daintree Pilot Project

An integrated advanced regeneration project demonstrating a blueprint for creating verifiable natural assets. Located on former sugarcane land, this site pioneers High Biodiversity Planting (informed by TEK & provenance tracking), off-grid innovation (Tech x Nature via SMART Rainforest Platform with IoT sensor networks), and First Nations Partnerships. It serves as a living laboratory for scalable, data-driven solutions enhancing economic resilience, ecosystem health (soil, water, biodiversity), and sustainable livelihoods, maximizing Return on Regeneration through rigorous monitoring and organic management.

PO 1 Pure Native Regen (2021)

Pioneering pure native regeneration in the heart of the Daintree, using TEK-informed species selection and provenance tracking. This initial plant-out directly compares high-density (800mm) vs. standard (1,200mm) spacing to understand optimal strategies for accelerating canopy closure and maximizing biodiversity return in previously cleared areas. It serves as a living laboratory, gathering crucial data on growth rates (via LiDAR) and ecosystem recovery (via bioacoustics), providing a vital alternative to struggling local monocultures like sugarcane and paving the way for scalable, high-impact rainforest restoration under organic management protocols.
