#24 Sam Bevans: Desert KNF, Israel, Farming without Water

Sam is the President and Co-Founder of the U.S Based 501c(3) Nonprofit The Tiffany Project. After studying in Hawaii with some of the top specialists in the fields of Organic Farming, Hydro/Aeroponics, and Regenerative Agriculture, Sam packed his bags, said goodbye to the lush rainforest he once lived in (Waipio Valley,) and made Aliyah to Israel. Sam now teaches Korean Natural Farming workshops here at Kibbutz Lotan as well as other locations in Israel, Kenya, and the United States. His goal is to naturally revitalize the indigenous microorganisms that lay dormant within the desert, and use them to create Living Soil in the Arava Desert and throughout the world.
