Coordinated Cooperatives
Strong cooperative eco-sets in trios backed by highly collaborative groups of trained individuals in worker owned cooperatives. These cooperatives function separately or together in mutual support as needed.
|
Food Forestry
Training development on worker cooperatives encompassing transitioning from current food production to new diverse forms of eco-friendly organic food forestry farming and food production.
|
Restoring Earth
Swales development, biodiversity support, water harvesting, rain capture from buildings and open waters, stream/river cleansing, water support for animal sanctuaries and more.

Current Programs
Reap Goodness is engaged in 3 programs:
- Completion of a teaching greenhouse together with Tolani Lake Enterprises, Inc. on the Navajo Nation based on nutrition. Reap Goodness (as REAP) has developed greenhouse hydroponics food systems as a Community Partner within Arizona State University's EPICS Program, Engineering Projects in Community Service. The REAP EPICS Team collectively received 4 awards during its 4 years in this program.
- Publication of 2 comprehensive e-books; Worker Cooperative People Skills, and Worker Cooperative Technical Skills. Reap Goodness offers classroom plus videoconferencing training for people-to-people skills and technical skills for successful worker owned cooperatives in America and other countries. Contact us about this training!
- Development of additional e-books and training to create a set of coordinated cooperatives (cooperatives eco-set) for communities worldwide. This set of cooperatives will help transform land and water for permanent fruit, vegetable and herbs food forests by harvesting water from Earth and roof surface rain collection, while restoring the land and fresh water tributaries plus recycling human waste as compost. In addition, the cooperatives will develop water resources strictly intended for animal sanctuaries away from farming and more.
New Training!
Here is the first outline of the new training in the works for restoring Earth while providing food forestry based ongoing food security for all.

A New Paradigm for Earth
Training for a Set of Ecologically Prepared Worker Owned Cooperatives to Change Earth’s Surface
1: Preparation
In this module all three of the set of cooperatives will gain knowledge to prepare to greet each other over discussions on how to divide the work to be done.
2: Continuance of Discussions
We study here the details of overlap that are intentional and agreed upon.
3: Starters of the Ecosystem Design
Here, all three cooperatives envision the work at the start of the joint effort.
4: Practicalities for Each Cooperative in Turn
In this module, all plans from start to finish dovetail with fine-tuned precision.
5: Carving Earth’s Surface for Swales
Precision details of carving all sloping terrain with geologists in tow are found in this module.
6: Abiding the Sanctity of Indigenous Lands
All work is done in this module with permissions and prayers from Native Peoples locally.
7: Starting to Carve Swales with an Eye Toward the Lengthy Future
After permissions are granted, we learn here how to envision changes in terrain in time and adjust accordingly.
8: Use of Tools
Learning here is of the many tools used to carve the Earth and choosing the right ones for the job.
9: Opening Earth to Water Testing
We study here what to do after the ditches are carved to ensure long term success.
10: Supporting Nature and the Right Sequence of Plantings
This module trains for longest term plantings, and subsequent ones in turn.
11: Nature Rebounds, Now What?
Here, plantings and their derivatives are studied for adjustments and additions.
12: New Hope for Birds
Listening for their chirps and knowing their signals for new growth needs.
13: Pondering New Directions for Food Production
Creating ponds for additionally needed wildlife on production food forest farms is studied along with evidence based examples conducted around Earth.
14: Cataclysm Avoidance
Studying about potential disasters of nature and planning for avoidance and quick rebounding is the topic of this module.
15: Surpluses and How to Share Them
We study here the bounty sharing methods in use around the world, and how to adapt them locally as needed.
16: New Beginnings for Animals in Nature
Resurrection of dying species in habitat formation by worker owned cooperatives dedicated to these treasures of Earth.
17: Water Holes of the Future
Creation of watering holes with swales as the precursor will be studied here with existing examples.
18: Creation of Ditches for Human Waste Deposit
Earthen ditches and water flow are studied to form future fertilizer compost, with examples from natural sources.
19: Stationary Water Maintenance
We study here the need for cleansing flora and microorganism interplay for keeping water clean naturally; includes cistern collection of roof rain capture.
20: Bracketing Functions of Water Erosion of Earth
Here we study how small dams are made and carried out along natural overflows during rains to avoid flooding and land degradation; simple examples abound.
21: Supporting Wildlife Sanctuaries
How to suspend fear in dealing with large animals while caring for their needs with water and plantings.
22: Adjusting Current Roadways for Water Reclamation
How to engage volunteers for local plantings for local small wildlife along roadside ditches for their microbiome to cleanse roadway waters for flow to streams and rivers.
23: Changing Perspectives of Local Governments for Support
Here’s how to engage the bright side of food forestry and ground waters, etc. with talented government officials for mutual understanding and cooperation.
24: How Local Governments Can Support the Worker Cooperatives
Engaging all communities worldwide is the subject of this module; continuance of the previous module.
25: Sharing Economies and How They Work in Detail
This module creates a complete picture of how local economies work without adversity, poverty, and with sanctity.
26: Enjoying the Outcomes Over Time
In this last module, we strike accord with each other as a set of interrelated worker owned cooperatives for future interactions all over the world, hand in hand.
Details about the upcoming e-books for additional training will be made available soon. Be on the watch for exciting developments for bringing restoration of Earth to the masses with training and translations for all to use.
