2. "Half-Farmer, Half-X" ( 半農半 X)
• Mr. Naoki Shiomi, is the originator of the "Half-Farmer,
Half-X" ( 半農半 X) concept and authored the book
carrying the same title, and founded the "Half-Farmer,
Half-X Research Center” at Ayabe, Kyoto, Japan.
• The phrase, "Half-Farmer, Half-X" is drawing much
attention as the new key phrase for a lifestyle, a way of
life, for the 21st century. "Half-Farmer" refers to "a
lifestyle with a touch of farming," and the X in "Half-X"
refers to an individual's profession / passion / purpose or
social mission or natural calling.
• The synergy is inspiring / enlightening to the individual’s
pursuit of wealth / health / happiness, while making real
contributions to the world.
3. "Half-Farmer, Half-X" ( 半農半
X) ...
• This concept can form an excellent
alliance with Permaculture.
• Due to its transformational nature of the
alliance, I would prefer to call those joining
in the movement as TransFarmers …..
transforming themselves, the earth and
the world.
4. Become a true TransFarmer
• Get to know more about Permaculture (Permanent Agriculture and /
or Permanent Culture) that can transform you permanently for the
better, physically, financially, mentally, socially and spiritually.
• Become co-owner of 10-acre Agro-Forestry land that allows you to
participate actively in Permaculture, as perpetual member of the
eco-village / co-housing.
• Have your own week-end chalet, PLUS a bonus chalet for re-sale at
the Permaculture site.
• Rediscover your life’s true X, and be better equipped to pursue your
profession / passion / purpose via Permaculture practices /
principles.
• Business start-up or training and consulting opportunities as
solopreneur / technopreneur / biopreneur.
• Share in recurrent incomes from the Permaculture site.
• Share in the expected “jackpot” from the timber yield.
• You will truly become a TransFarmer, practicing Half-Farmer Half-X.
5. Co-Housing / Eco-village
• Cohousing / Eco-village typically comprises
private living units (houses or flats) with shared
spaces such as a gym, office space, workshops,
laundry facilities and a café etc.
• Residents’ direct involvement in the
management and maintenance of these
communities.
• Residents have their own individual economic
activities, besides sharing any common incomes
derived from the eco-village.
