NEEM as an organization, is a philosophy of Agroecological approaches to sustainable agriculture and the community. Sustainable agriculture should be harmonious with its natural and ecological surroundings. NEEM works with least disruption to the land in a sustainable way. NEEM promotes urban Organoponicos (city farms) & the UBPC cooperative model as fulcrums to sustainable community.
Neem is also and foremost a tree that inspired NEEM as an organization. Neem, the tree of a thousand and one uses, the village pharmacy; a natural solution to global problems. Neem – a reliable alternative to chemical inputs with no adverse affects to the planet, body or mind. The cultivar that reminds you that there are biological alternatives to chemical inputs. Neem is a statement. It tells us that we can become self-sufficient by relying on existing natural resources that benefit the planet and ensure food safety.
The existence of neem says to us that new technology is dangerous (GMO) and a threat to the food chain. Neem says no to Monsanto and groups that support disruption of nature and people through introduction of systems that biologically did not exist and designed to profit off of people rather than people profit from the earth. Neem is a natural alternative and a bold statement in these regards.
NEEM seeks to effect positive change by introduction to the agricultural and general communities of the numerous uses of “Neem Tree” products and by-products in proven and new applications under agroecological concepts.
We will promote neem as an effective biological alternative in agriculture, fertilization, nitrogenification, livestock, veterinary, pest control, human health, and medical, home-health care and birth control. Neem is a naturally occurring, yearly harvestable, biological alternative. Neem is an anti-bacterial, anti-viral and an organic bio-pesticide.
We will promote neem use in Urban (Organoponicos) and rural farm Systems replicating the Cuban model and provide FOOD SECURITY in an urban “seed-to-plate” economic development and educational program that promotes urban sustainable agriculture and infrastructure required to support them as viable alternative revnue resource.
We will use neem as a fulcrum to consult communities on sustainable development and provide sustainable infrastructures through community involvement.
