Goal

Dear fellow Earth Beings,

We are gathering forces to transform depleted soils on Mother Earth into a true CO2 devouring and oxygen producing paradise on the basis of Save Soil principles as compiled by Isha Foundation and Save Soil Foundation scientists.

Increasing the organic content of Earth´s soil and transforming deserted and other depleted landscapes into green land with fruit and trees, is the all around optimally feasible method of fully tackling all current climate issues and many economical challenges worldwide.

As a wonderful side effect it creates paradisical conditions on Planet Earth. No need to go to heaven. It is right here infront of our eyes .. and up to us humanity - no one else.

The donations will be used to purchase additional land with depleted farmland, as well as to pay the salaries of all the workers, purchase equipment, and fund ongoing soil and climate analyses aswell as our social media presence.

Our pilot project takes place in Brandenburg, Germany. Soils are almost as depleted as the desert. Please check out info below.

We accompany this project with continuous measurement in Soil, Air, Water, Crops etc. to show the beneficial changes. And the goal is to study and demonstrate how long it actually takes in such an area to actually turn the tables.

Let´s do it now!

Thank you.

Organic Farming and Minimum Tillage Management Strategies

Description

Organic farming is characterised by no use of synthetic fertilizer or pesticides, and use of diverse crop rotations and farmyard manure. Organic farming tends to shift the microbial community structure to bacteria, because of the application of farmyard manure.

Case Study: Field trial on Cambisols in Scheyern, Germanys. ^[3]

Organic farming with:

• use of a diverse crop rotation with legume cover crop

• inputs of cattle manure, which supplies additional available organic matter to soil as well as cattle manure-derived microorganisms no application of synthetic fertilizer or pesticides.

• minimum tillage (6-8 cm depth) on the microbial community structure and

microbial residues

Sustainable Soil Management Species

Potato,

Mustard ,

Winter Wheat,

Maize ,

Grass-Clover-Alfalfa ,

Sunflower ,

Winter rye among others.

Economic Benefits

Organic farming significantly increased SOC, soil moisture content, abundance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and gram-positive bacteria over the 21-year field trial period.

Organic farming had a positive effect on microbial biomass, total phospho-lipid fatty acids (PLFA), Gram (+) bacteria, Gram (-) bacteria and the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The PLF and MurN are biomarkers for arbuscular mycorrhiza and Gram (+) bacteria, respectively. The significance of Gram (+) bacteria is that they drive the flux of CO2 exchange between soil and atmosphere. The results indicate that organic farming coupled with tillage management increases beneficial soil biology in terms of better arbuscular mycorrhizal associations and increased good bacteria populations. ^[3]

Organic farms need only one-third of area-related energy input and only half of the product-related energy that intensive farms need. Energy consumed: 19.1G/ha (Intensive farms), 8.7 GJ/ha (Extensified farms), 5.9 cJ/ha(Organic farms). ^[4]

Exaplary Solution and Larger starting Projects overview

EDEN EARTH PROJECT

From One Channel to a Living Demonstration

A transparent project plan for raising and deploying €7 million to prove, measure and scale permanent green land systems

THE STARTING POINT One founder. Almost no capital. A YouTube channel. A global vision. A first farmer contact. The work begins before the full funding exists.

This document is a public commitment: donations unlock defined stages, every major expenditure is reported, and expansion follows evidence—not promises alone.

Funding goal	Initial geography	First field action
€7,000,000 total	Brandenburg, Germany	Partner-farm pilot with control and intervention areas

Prepared for viewers, donors, land partners, scientists, foundations and implementation partners of the Eden Earth Project.

EDEN EARTH PROJECT | €7 MILLION DONOR ROADMAP

1. The promise

Eden Earth begins with a practical proposition: degraded and intensively cultivated land can be shifted toward permanent green cover, deeper roots, healthier soils, greater water retention, biological diversity and resilient food production. Instead of waiting for perfect conditions, we start with one real site, measure what happens, publish the results and build a model others can reproduce.

OUR PUBLIC PROMISE We will start small, measure honestly, publish successes and failures, and scale only what works.

What the €7 million is meant to achieve

Create a legally sound, independently governed and transparent project structure.

Run a scientifically credible field demonstration with a farmer in Brandenburg.

Compare existing practice, regenerative permanent-cover systems and agroforestry on matched plots.

Build a 40–100 hectare flagship through lease, partnership or carefully selected land acquisition.

Develop an open implementation playbook, training program and public evidence platform.

Scale through partner farms rather than trying to purchase and operate all future land ourselves.

What this plan does not claim

It does not claim that every desert can become forest, that every site needs the same intervention, or that results are guaranteed. Water availability, ecology, land rights, local livelihoods and long-term maintenance determine what is appropriate. The first responsibility is to learn from a specific landscape and make verifiable improvements there.

2. Starting now—before major funding

The project does not wait for €7 million. The first phase uses the assets already available: the founder’s time, the Eden Earth YouTube channel, the plan, public communication and the first farmer relationship.

First 90 days	Concrete output	Public proof
Weeks 1–2	Publish this roadmap; create public donation and governance principles	Video, downloadable plan, progress page
Weeks 2–6	Meet the farmer; map the land, current rotation, constraints and ambitions	Recorded interview and site walk
Weeks 4–8	Identify a 2,000–10,000 m² pilot and a comparable control area	Site map and written pilot agreement
Weeks 6–12	Recruit an agronomist/soil adviser and laboratory; define baseline protocol	Methods sheet, quotations and sampling plan
By day 90	Take baseline measurements and publish the first field report	Data, photographs, costs and next decision

3. The funding ladder

The campaign seeks €7 million in total, but the money is not treated as one undifferentiated pot. Each threshold produces a complete, visible result and prepares the next stage.

Cumulative funding	What becomes possible	Milestone before expansion
€0–€25,000	Formation, agreements, baseline design, initial sampling, public reporting	Pilot site contract and published baseline
€25,000–€150,000	One full pilot season, equipment access, expert support, documentation	Season report with control comparison
€150,000–€500,000	Multi-season pilot, more plots, water/soil/biodiversity monitoring	Independent review and replication protocol
€500,000–€1.8M	Flagship setup, 4–6 person core team, partner-farm expansion	Operational flagship and annual audited report
€1.8M–€4M	40–100 ha long-term demonstration; training and media platform	Verified results across seasons and sites
€4M–€7M	Reserve, replication fund and protected long-term capital	Partner rollout with clear selection criteria

IMPORTANT The project may raise funds in stages or through one major commitment. In either case, deployment follows the same gates and reporting rules.

4. Field program: prove it on real land

Pilot design

The first demonstration should be simple enough to understand and strong enough to learn from. Wherever the site allows, matched areas will compare:

Current practice / control: the farmer’s existing system continues on a comparable area.

Regenerative permanent-cover treatment: continuous living roots, cover crops, reduced disturbance, diversified rotation and context-appropriate grazing or mowing where suitable.

Agroforestry treatment: trees or shrubs integrated with productive land where permitted and ecologically appropriate.

What will be measured

Dimension	Baseline and follow-up indicators
Soil	Organic carbon, aggregation, bulk density, infiltration, nutrient balance and biology where feasible
Water	Infiltration, soil moisture, runoff/erosion observations and water demand
Biodiversity	Vegetation diversity, pollinator/bird indicators and habitat structure
Production	Yield, quality, input use, labor, costs and operational practicality
Climate resilience	Performance during dry, hot and wet periods; ground-cover continuity
Economics	Transition cost, annual cash flow, avoided inputs and potential new revenues

Methods and limitations will be published. Independent laboratories and qualified advisers will be used where claims require specialist measurement.

5. Eight-year implementation roadmap

Phase	Timing	Primary result
0. Mobilize	0–3 months	Public plan, legal pathway, farmer agreement, pilot map and baseline
1. Demonstrate	3–18 months	2,000–10,000 m² pilot with control, first full seasonal dataset
2. Validate	Year 2	Multi-season evidence, refined interventions, independent review
3. Build flagship	Years 2–3	40–100 ha partner/leased site; 10–25 ha intensive comparison area
4. Replicate	Years 3–5	Additional partner farms; training, implementation manual and data platform
5. Scale the model	Years 5–8	Regional network, grants/co-funding and international adaptation partnerships

Decision gates

No land purchase before legal, ecological and economic due diligence.

No large-scale planting before water balance, species suitability and maintenance responsibility are clear.

No replication claim before at least one full season of measured results; multi-season evidence is preferred.

No major expansion without governance review, a funded maintenance plan and a named operator for each site.

6. Use of the full €7 million

The allocation balances implementation with long-term resilience. Figures are planning envelopes and will be refined through quotations, site due diligence and donor restrictions. The total remains exactly €7 million.

Budget envelope	Amount	Purpose
Field implementation and flagship	€1,800,000	Pilot, 40–100 ha flagship, machinery access, planting, water-smart infrastructure and operations
Land / long-term site-security reserve	€700,000	Purchase option, long lease, easements or other durable access—used only after due diligence
Science, monitoring and open data	€550,000	Baselines, laboratories, instrumentation, analysis, independent review and reporting
Team and project management	€1,050,000	Lean 4–6 person core over multiple years; external specialists where efficient
Farmer transition and replication fund	€650,000	Cost-sharing and small grants for selected partner farms
Education, media and training	€400,000	YouTube documentation, field days, manuals, courses and translation
Legal, governance, audit and insurance	€300,000	Entity setup, contracts, compliance, annual audits, risk and liability cover
Operating contingency	€350,000	Weather, cost and implementation uncertainty; released by governance approval
Protected long-term reserve	€1,200,000	Conservative reserve/endowment approach to support continuity beyond the fundraising period

TOTAL: €7,000,000

RESERVE PRINCIPLE Protected capital is not presented as guaranteed income. Investment policy, risk limits and permitted withdrawals must be approved by qualified fiduciary oversight.

7. Governance and donor protection

Trust must be designed into the project before large donations are accepted. The campaign will distinguish clearly between a public vision, a fundraising mechanism and the legal entity responsible for receiving and spending funds.

A dedicated legal entity and dedicated bank account for Eden Earth funds.

At least three independent governance or advisory members as funding grows, including land/agriculture, finance/compliance and science expertise.

Dual approval for payments above a published threshold.

Quarterly public income-and-expenditure summaries; annual independent financial review or audit appropriate to scale.

Conflict-of-interest register, procurement rules and written related-party transaction policy.

Restricted donations tracked and used only for the stated purpose.

A project register showing milestones, delays, failures, corrective actions and remaining cash.

Donation status

Donors will be told exactly which entity receives funds and whether a donation is tax-deductible. No tax receipt will be promised until the receiving organization is legally entitled to issue one. Before that point, any support must be described under its actual legal terms.

8. Team: grow only when the work demands it

Stage	People	Core responsibility
Now	Founder + volunteers/advisers	Vision, content, farmer relationship, fundraising and coordination
Pilot	Part-time project coordinator; agronomist/soil adviser; lab partners	Protocol, site operations, data quality and reporting
Flagship	4–6 person core team	Executive/project lead, field lead, science/data, partnerships/fundraising, media/education, administration
Scale	Regional delivery partners	Local implementation, training, maintenance and replication

The founder’s role is to initiate and hold the mission—not to pretend to possess every required specialty. Scientific, agricultural, legal and financial authority will sit with qualified people in those fields.

9. How expansion becomes self-reinforcing

Donations create the first proof. Long-term scale should increasingly combine philanthropy with grants, farm revenues, training, implementation partnerships, research collaborations, sponsorships that pass an ethics screen, and carefully designed licensing or service income. Any earned income returns to the mission under the receiving entity’s legal rules.

Partner-farm cost sharing reduces the need to own every hectare.

Open methods allow others to implement the model without waiting for Eden Earth.

Paid training or implementation support can subsidize freely available public knowledge.

Independent evidence improves eligibility for public and philanthropic co-funding.

10. Public scorecard

Reported every quarter	Reported every year
Funds received and spent	Audited/reviewed financial statements
Milestones completed and delayed	Soil, water, biodiversity and production outcomes
Pilot hectares and partner hectares	Farmer economics and transition lessons
Content, field days and people reached	Plan revisions and next-year budget
Risks, failures and corrective actions	Governance membership and conflicts declared

Success after eight years

Success is not merely spending €7 million or planting a large number of trees. Success is a durable flagship, multiple functioning partner farms, verified ecological and economic improvement, a trained implementation network, an open playbook and an organization capable of continuing without permanent dependence on one founder or one fundraising campaign.

11. The invitation

Eden Earth is beginning at the smallest credible scale—but it is built for a very large purpose. The first donations do not finance a distant abstraction. They finance the contract, the baseline, the first square meters, the first season and the first proof.

You can help in four ways:

Donate to the next published milestone.

Introduce a farmer, landowner, scientist, foundation or responsible major donor.

Offer verified expertise, equipment access or field capacity.

Share the project with people who believe restoration must become practical, measurable and visible.

THE ASK Together, we seek €7 million—not to begin with grandeur, but to build proof step by step until a working model can spread far beyond the first field.

Paradise on Earth is not a fantasy. It is a direction—and it begins with the next responsible action.
