Hello I’m Spencer! I established this website in 2016, designed to help, encourage and educate people to grow their own staple foods in the tropics. If you live in the tropics you can grow a lot of your diet! Planting your starches insures food security. Starches include: taro, sweet potato, cassava, banana, and yams. These all produce within a year and a half and can produce abundantly for many years with minimal efforts. Plant your perennial vegetable crops and you’re well on your way to sufficiency!

I live in the Pacific on an island. This blog will focus on this region particularly, however, following the same methods in your tropical area could produce similar results.

This is simply my observations and experiences in a tropical environment. If you have any tips or ideas for me to try I would really enjoy receiving the feedback!

Thanks!
