MIYAWAKI – MAN-MADE FOREST
Forests’ development, degradation, disruption, and rejuvenation affect the carbon cycle. Globally speaking, forests help preserve the earth’s carbon balance. Living in luxury while surrounded by a lot of nature and enjoying tranquillity in the woods is conceivable. Private roads, shaded footpaths, and bike paths wind through thick trees around the neighborhood. The Miyawaki Method-built woods dominate the scenario. A concept for sustainable urban forestry, the Miyawaki Method enables individuals to take advantage of nature while contributing to the environment. The forest is meant to be a self-sustaining environment that doesn’t require maintenance. It also boosts biodiversity, reduces flooding, improves air quality, and creates a relaxing ambience. Wildlife sounds, forest scents, and fresh air will calm your senses.
They form self-sustaining ecosystems after planting. These plantings benefit bees, butterflies, pollinators, insects, and animals, as well as storing carbon, cleaning the air, taking up more water, reducing erosion and flooding, and cooling the environment. Miyawaki Forests can be built on plots as small as 1000 square feet, and this makes them perfect for crowded areas with a lot of heat, pollution, storms, and flooding, like Boston.
By working with nature to increase biodiversity, we can protect and enhance the ecosystems that keep our planet sustainable. Advice on the Miyawaki method and its processes, such as location selection, soil analysis, species selection, ground preparation, dense planting, and forest maintenance. After the first three years, the forest can take care of itself. The Miyawaki Method is a concept for sustainable urban forestry that enables people to appreciate nature while reinvesting money in the environment.
From Brazil to Japan, this forestation strategy works effectively for our region in India. The neighborhood has solar panels, a self-sustaining water reservoir, and residences made of wood and stone. In this community, the impacts of nature have been interwoven in various ways. By 3 degrees Celsius, the temperature has been lowered and adjusted, which reduces noise by 10 dB and blocks at least 15% of dust and air pollutants. Biodiversity production increases by 18 times and provides sufficient oxygen for 30 villages.
The Miyawaki technique involves planting multiple native plant species next to one another. The greens can only get light from above if they grow up rather than out. As a result, the plants develop at a rate that is ten times faster and almost 30 times denser than normal. After three years, they no longer need any attention. The Miyawaki Forests are small, compact, and home to many different animals and vegetation. The succession and interactions that occur in an actual forest are supposed to be mimicked. These forests encourage soil plants, fungi, and microorganisms to work together by planting a variety of species. As a result, forests are incredibly resilient and develop quickly.
Sow and Reap Agro Pvt. Ltd. has partnered with TRST01 as a digital measuring, reporting, and verification partner whose web2 (applications) and web3 (on-chain) capabilities create discoverable opportunities for Climate Actions technology partners to strengthen their position as the industry leader in digitally tracking and measuring GHG emissions. Each species’ height, base, and diameter are used to calculate how much it contributes to carbon sequestration using a specific formula and algorithm defined by Carbon Standard bodies.
