"The Aloha House Story: Serving the Community Through Agricultural Extension" Agricultural Extension is a great tool for the development worker who wants to impact their community while minimising risk to the small hold farmer and back yard producer. Aloha House started as an orphanage for children in crises and now also is working with families and single parents. Healthy food production is an integral component and the organic farm grew out of that desire. As interest grew and trainings were undertaken, ECHO Technical notes were key to fast tracking the success and profitability of our farm. Join us on this adventure as Keith highlights some of their successes and failures in this 15 year adventure. Keith Mikkelson is the Executive Director of Aloha House inc., an NGO founded with his wife to help Philippine families. Aloha House is an orphanage located on an organic farm that produces food for the children, staff and customers in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines. Keith's book A Natural Farming System for Sustainable Agriculture in the Tropics has sold over 5,000 copies.

trials at a central site, as well on the fields of individual farmers, with the purpose of
evaluating, within the community, ideas that have been proven elsewhere. Dr. Martin

5. WSU Puyallup Research and Extension Center launches the Master Gardener Program on
September 2, 1972.
On September 2, 1972, Washington State University's cooperative extension agents unveil a
Master Gardener Program at Tacoma Mall and seed an international urban-horticulture institution.
The program will grow into a high-visibility phenomenon. As of 2007, there were more than 4,000
Master Gardeners in Washington state and the model has been adopted in almost all U.S. states
and several Canadian provinces, with one chapter in England. Master Gardeners, under the aegis

The MBRLC was conceptualized in the mid1960s but then implemented and officially
opened on September 8, 1971. The
originator and founder, Mr. Harold Ray
Watson, along with his wife (Elizabeth
Joyce) and three sons, lived at the center in
Kinuskusan, Bansalan, Davao del Sur.
Initial money for establishment was given by
the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern
Baptist Convention (USA)

We are grateful to God for His faithfulness in His ministry. He is using us more to
reach His people in rural areas with our new ministry (True Vine Organic
Ministries - John 15:1-5.)
We are beginning our organic agriculture training with rural church leaders and
farmers. We had a three days seminar of sustainable organic farming with rural
church leaders and farmers. It was very much fruitful. About three hundred
persons attended the seminar. All the participants appealed to us to establish
intensive training centers in their areas. We had the seminar from Wednesday,
April 10 - Friday, April 12, 2013. We need your prayers for there is a need to
training them.
Attached is a praise letter.
We love you,

150. 1. High levels of phytic acid in soy reduce
assimilation of calcium, magnesium,
copper, iron and zinc. Phytic acid in soy
is not neutralized by ordinary
preparation methods such as soaking,
sprouting and long, slow cooking. High
phytate diets have caused growth
problems in children.
2. Trypsin inhibitors in soy interfere with
protein digestion and may cause
pancreatic disorders. In test animals
soy containing trypsin inhibitors caused
stunted growth.
3. Soy phytoestrogens disrupt endocrine
function and have the potential to cause
infertility and to promote breast cancer
in adult women.
4. Soy phytoestrogens are potent
antithyroid agents that cause
hypothyroidism and may cause thyroid
cancer. In infants, consumption of soy
formula has been linked to autoimmune
thyroid disease.
5. Vitamin B12 analogs in soy are not
absorbed and actually increase the
body’s requirement for B12.

Soy foods increase the
body’s requirement for
vitamin D. Toxic synthetic
vitamin D2 is added to soy
milk.
Fragile proteins are overdenatured during high
temperature processing to
make soy protein isolate and
textured vegetable protein.
Processing of soy protein
results in the formation of
toxic lysinoalanine and highly
carcinogenic nitrosamines.
Free glutamic acid or MSG, a
potent neurotoxin, is formed
during soy food processing and
additional amounts are added to
many soy foods to mask soy’s
unpleasant taste.
Soy foods contain high levels of
aluminum, which is toxic to the
nervous system and the
kidneys.

Appropriate Technology
If land is expensive
You live in a dense urban environment
You have access to a niche market
Energy costs are low, never disrupted*
You can sell at premium prices
Water is scarce (it conserves water)
You want to improve your food supply
Inappropriate Technology
If land is inexpensive /abundant water
You’re in a remote location
Energy costs are high, or disrupted*
You do not have a market to sell into
You’re not concerned about a poisoned food supply**
*Pumps usually run 24hrs/day

**Pesticides on the plant will kill the fish

214. Turtleponics

215. Water hyacinth utilize the nutrient load
from the turtles and grow rapidly. The
turtles will consume the plant so growth
rate and quantity of plants need to be
balanced. This is an appropriate
companion system if quantities of water
hyacinth out grow the consumption rate
of the turtles.
