Abstract

REBUILD Mahayana is designed to bring a decentralized and sovereign food and energy production system in tropical parts of the world. Our system relies on the basic notion of optimizing full human use of tropical photosynthetic capability. The best way to do this is with polyculture forest systems. This is because polyculture forest systems is the most efficient way to turn sunlight into usable energy due to its nature of being stacked in both time and space. It is our goal to maximize the biological potential of the tropics.
