I would love to live in a fully biodynamic life complete with organic food and a no-pollution surrounding.

Description

The Dream

A dream of mine is to have a growing community of biodynamic believers in Egypt, neighboring countries and the rest of the world who practice and live a full biodynamic life. I hope that such growing movement represents a good portion of the Egyptian community. I hope to be part of this biodynamic community in Egypt myself, to have a model biodynamic farm and to be a catalyst in the spreading of the word, convincing others to convert to biodynamic life and helping the biodynamic movement grow healthy and wide.

I would love to have my small perhaps five acre land which I grow biodynamically. I would like to have a self-sustained house in there in the farm. Sanitation, water, electricity (if present,) and waist would be all self sustaining and independent from a collective network.

I would like to grow medical and perfume herbs in the farm. I would also like to have vegetables and fruit trees all grown biodynamically.

Echo Housing

The house on the farm would be an ecological house. It would be dome shaped as in Hassan Fathy's designers. I would use biogeometry in the design of the house and in putting any furniture inside it. All furniture inside, and outside, the house would be ergonomic furniture.

Homeopathy

I would love to use the herbal plants I grow for homeopathic treatment. People can come to me in my farm for me to treat them using homeopathic medicine I prepare myself. I would enjoy also walking to houses of neighboring farms as well to treat those who are need of treatment using homeopathy as well.

Implementation

Obstacles
