What is GROW BIOINTENSIVE?
Aware of intensifying world challenges and the very basic need for people to feed themselves, their families, and their communities, we have worked for over 50 years to develop an elegant, small-scale agricultural system — GROW BIOINTENSIVE® (GB) Sustainable Mini-Farming — which if practiced correctly, promotes healthy fertile soil, produces high yields, conserves resources and can be used successfully by almost everyone. Our goal is to help make GB known and used locally...on a worldwide basis.

Biointensive gardens can help reduce global warming!
Compost is Carbon Sequestration! GROW BIOINTENSIVE compost increases the amount of carbon stored in the soil, reduces the amount of water needed to grow crops, and increases the yields for both food and compost crops.
Every garden planted makes a positive difference.

1st African GROW BIOINTENSIVE Symposium
In 2015, 25 people from Kenya, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Malawi, Tanzania, Rwanda and Swaziland came together at G-BIACK (GROW BIOINTENSIVE Agriculture Center of Central Kenya) to share their knowledge and experiences with biologically intensive farming. This is a video that captures the kinetic energy that came together to disseminate and expand GROW BIOINTENSIVE across Africa.
We are all part of the solution:
Sponsor an International Intern
People from countries with serious food shortages and ongoing hunger in their populations want to come to Ecology Action to learn GROW BIOINTENSIVE, so they can teach their communities to grow abundant food and fertile soil.
They need help to get here.
YOU are an important part of this positive action: your donation makes it possible.
