Finally!  The Moringa For Life Growers & Educators Certification Course is online.  We have put together an 8 Week course covering absolutely everything you will need to know to grow and process the highest quality of Moringa possible. This is in-depth training incorporating 24 years of experience with Moringa
Course Descriptions

Over the last 25 years, Mariko has worked out the major issues of growing Moringa, to produce premium grade Moringa, creating The Moringa Protocol.  The Moringa Protocol is necessary around the world to ensure that all producers of Moringa understand the specific requirements at all stages of farm production that need to be implemented for the outcome of high grade, pathogen and mold free Moringa. This is our main goal in the Growers and Educators Course

Why is Soil so Important?

Of utmost importance is the work to create the soil quality. As Mariko has said hundreds of times, “If it’s not in the soil, it’s not in the Moringa”.  This is one of the most important points in growing any food plant.  Each plant has the uptake from the soil that it is capable of.  However, if the specific nutrients are not found in the soil, there is no uptake and subsequently, that nutrient is not in the end food product. So to maximize the vitamin potential of Moringa, one must start with the soil.

Soil alone does not create a whole Ecosystem.  Understanding and creating the bigger picture is also essential.  Permaculture – Permanent agriculture, is also a part of the essential whole.

Restorative  Farming

We are  supporters of Restorative farming.  We must look for how we can Repair and Restore our rivers, prairies, wetlands, forests, and planet Earth to the pristine condition that is the birthright of every living thing here.  Moringa is one plant that offers healing in so many of these areas.  It has the potential to repair and restore much of what has been damaged in our soil, water and living beings of all types.  I want to draw those together who are interested in this mission and create through our common creative work to make this world a garden as it once was.

Moringa For Life Growers

Moringa For Life Growers are the backbone of the World Wide Moringa Movement.  Their access to land and resources enables them to dedicate their growing efforts to cultivating Moringa using The Moringa Protocol. They are local farmers who commit to their communities to feed and heal their people.  Once they are fully nourished and empowered, they look to outer communities and the world at large as further resources to receive the bounty of their work bringing those resources back into their lands and people.

Great care and intention will be to create a ripple effect out from their farms and be a role model for other local farmers to join in and create opportunities for collaboration and cooperatives.  Moringa For Life Growers implement practices of soil restoration which begins with every farm, large or small ridding the towns, villages, cities and countries of the toxicity that endangers life at every level beginning with the soil, the very thing that feeds every living being on earth.
