30. SEFEL, a Revolution on Fertilizing.
(Liquid Ecologic Fertilizer Production System)
Obtaining locally high quality
organic fertilizers from byproducts:
whey, purine, molassa and
minerals.
12 years experience.

31. Organic bananas with SEFEL
(Liquid Ecologic Fertilizer
Production System)
Nothing to envy to
conventional bananas
(opposite is true)

32. SEFEL:
- NO heavy metals
- NO antibiotics
- NO Escherichia coli
- NO salmonella
- NO nitrites
- NO nitrates
- High Yields
- High desease resistance
- High Silica

33. What if CO2 was the solution?

34. Conventional approach with high
input costs and depuration costs.
When CO2 is seen as a resource
and systemic approach is applied,
input costs are lower, multiple
cash flows are obtained and
depuration is not needed because
every “waste” is now an input.

41. Why to find a solution for a single people?
Finding opportunities, solutions and employment for communities of people.
The more isolated you
are, the more
manipulable.

42. Creating new enterprises within a group
It is easier to solve a system of problems
than a single problem.

43. Solution:
– Each territory or community can implement a Sustainable Development Plan
for social development, environmental protection and economic feasibility.
– Start with a vision.
– Using what we already have.
– Key: beeing the OWNERS of electricity, energy (or biofuels) for mobility, water
and food, and make it cycle into local economy.
– Money is on waste transformation with added value. There are no wastes, but
byproducts.
– Ownning a local banking system or a complementary local currency multiplies
opportunities for people.
– Sustainability is feasible.
