After our February 2024 Cascadia Seed Guild meeting, we had an internal meeting today with @Steven Morris and discussed using Holochain to update our underlying Web 02 technology, more news on this soon.

This is a stunning documentary touching on the diminution in the nutritional value of fresh food and the relationship of this to “industrial” seed evolution. “Sixty years of producing standardized fruit and vegetables and creating industrial hybrids have had a dramatic impact on their nutritional content. In the past 50 years, vegetables have lost 27% of their vitamin C and nearly half of their iron.” @inspiration and @cascadiabrandon you might find this interesting.

This is another low-cost and important communications system to deploy and test before we get to the times when they will be needed. “The Harbor Breeze Solar LED light can be purchased for about $15 and includes a capable solar panel, lithium ion cell and charge controller in a waterproof enclosure. The RAK baseboards fit perfectly inside the solar compartment. Below are the steps for completing this hack for a completely weatherproof solar powered Meshtastic node.”

Here is a good recent video from a local broadcaster on the 1700 last Cascadia Subduction event featuring a locally based professor.

The Great Cascadia earthquake struck more than three centuries ago, with a magnitude 9.0. One researcher with the University of Oregon said taking steps now is key.

Another important part of disaster preparedness is communications, this is one well known system Project-Owl. https://www.project-owl.com/ducklink

In addition, we are maintaining a series of Google Sheets which project Seed Yields and what equipment is necessary to attain and maintain these yields. Please reach out if you would like a link.
Sorry this is hard to read.

This is an ARCGIS inundation map for part of Victoria, I am sure there are many more in here. https://www.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=95dc713176314e738d937d22a5515cea

@thomasharun this may be interesting for you and anyone else you want to share it with.

Here we are looking at the potential germination yield increase by using a combination of a 25ft x 10ft greenhouse combined with air and soil heating and soil blocks. The internal design is quite simple, at the base level we have two 25ft x 3ft raised beds, one of which has in soil heating to aid both germination and eventually transplanted plant growing. There are then 4 x 10ft x 3ft (removable) shelves at around 3 ft from the base which each can accommodate around 11 trays each. Starting with 3/4″ soil block cubes, then transitioning 50% of those to 2″ soil blocks (the other 50% are planted into the ground directly). We will share the projected numbers, per greenhouse, soon.

Thanks for sharing these items Julie.
