as a farmer in permaculture, i would advise you to review your Co2 impact of meat... I have 25 chickens, they only feed on what my compost is attracting as worms and macro fauna, no extra grain provided.. it gets me food and protein for winter. I have also grassfed cows, pigs and sheeps... they nurrish the soil by eating the Carbon in plants and transform into protein. My farm is negative in CO2 production hehe.. Please review your sources of calculations. as it is now you are using "chosen' figures.

I'm surprised you don't have a good old fashioned root cellar being planned for cool food storage. I'm not sure how prevalent root cellars are in Europe. It's a structure, usually underground or partially underground used for storage of vegetables, fruits, nuts, or other foods. Used before rural electrification in North America. Being underground often dug into the side of a hill they are cooler inside. They take some effort to build but don't need electricity to stay at the ambient underground soil temp. Ambient underground soil temp gets cooler the deeper you go and stays constant.

If your fridge gets mold inside you should 1) check door joints, if they are pierced or damaged replace it cuz it will be worse later. Check if door close correctly too 2) empty it from food and wash the whole thing with white vinegar. Dry it clean after with a towel. 3) Check water evacuation, if there is something in it, water from condensation can't go out so it stays inside and you'll get mold. Hope it helps

Repurpose the 3 phase oven. Step 1) Take the 3 phase oven to a big city restaurant supply house and trade it for additional restaurant equipment (square stainless steel pans with SS lids) that will be useful in the Project Kamp kitchen. You will not produce 3 phase power from a solar energy system because it is unnecessary. Step 2) Build a second wood or charcoal fired oven immediately outside the kitchen. Begin to work the wood fired oven into the meal preparation scheme regularly to reduce your reliance on bottled gas. Step 3) Make certain the double door refrigerator is on a flat platform that is level. Pouring a cement slab to set it on would be worthwhile. Once the case is level and plumb, check all gaskets for fit and clean or repair if necessary. Step 4) Use covered stainless steel pans for all leafy produce to reduce humidity. Check for drain holes; Blow them out with compressed air, followed by a 10% vinegar flush and sterile water rinse. 5) Make certain all interior fans are clean, lubricated, sanitized and operating properly. 6) Chemically clean the interior cooling plates to improve performance and eliminate mold and mildew spores. 😊

Buying local is great. Living in Germany, most of my shopping is based upon seasonal foods and going to the various weekly markets. However, I have some questions about your sustainable cooking once the vegetables have been purchased. - What do you do with the vegetable scraps? I did not see any vegetable broths being made in the video. After making broths (which make healthier rice and couscous dishes), the rest of the vegetable remains can then be composed. Oh, they compost faster after being cooked. - What do you do with the coffee grinds? That is great for the compost. - If you have a fire at night, do you make coffee the night before on the coals (maybe in the pizza oven) and people can drink cold coffee for breakfast or a mid-day break? That would reduce the use of the batteries or propane. - Have you considered making sun coffee or sun tea to utilize the power of the sun? That would also reduce the use of the batteries or propane. - have you considered using Chicory which is a locally grown plant land therefore requires less CO2 emissions (i.e. petrochemicals for transport) to Portugal?

Very great to see how you guys doing with the cooking! Here some Ideas that came up in my mind: When it comes to reducing co2 emmisions, try to build a sun cooker to save gas. there are different moddels, the parabolig one I tryed before from a kit and it worked very good (+300°C) and not that big of a diameter, can also be bourght Try to ferment what is left or make some kind of broth out of it (dry or cooked as paste), I saw you are using Lemmons, if they are organic (i think so) you can very simple ferment the emtpy halfs, in 2% salt water and use them in the cooking process again, very yumy. If you find time the morning cooked oat flakes can also soak over night and need no gas to get cooked. The coffe topic shows that you could try to use local "coffe" other roasted goods that do not travel and use that much reccources. very subjective and sensetive i think and a great topic to reflect on what are we willing to abond and change our habits for positive climat impacts. I think depending on how far you have to go with the truck you could think to upgrade your solar in the future and make the truck an electric one working as a second batterie / car, but maybe its then just more efficent to farm by your selfs.. numbers needs to be checked there. Hope this input can help you ;) Kepp the good work up!

Your fridge is probably too small 😢. Try to limit opening the door Check the drain And make ventilation for the back of the fridge with a fan (eg. a computer fan or USB fan, and make sure to get the air to the outside when it has passed the radiator. Check the gasket on the doors

If you haven't already tried this, a bowl of baking soda in the fridge should help reduce moisture as well as odors in the fridge. Once the baking soda has completely hardened you would replace it with a new amount. You should not use that hardened baking soda for cooking or baking.

Best way i think to deal with mould is 1. remove and throw away any mouldy food, then 2. take out everything from fridge, including emptying all shelves etc.. then 3. Use distilled white wine vinegar and spray ALL surfaces inside the fridge, including all shelves and anything where mould could potentially get in behind (if there is a panel that can be un-screwed, then open and spray it down). Make sure you are extra careful to cover all areas. Let everything sit for a few minutes, then scrub with a rag and wipe clean. Repeat for as many times as you feel is needed.

2 corrections: You guys are using carbon steel pans, not cast iron (at least in the footage you showed), just in case anyone wants to buy the same (you should, they're the best!). That green shrub that you called lemon grass that you use in tea is actually lemon verbena. As for the coffee, regenerative farmer Mark Shepard is planting coffee and cacao seeds in Wisconsin (zone 3-5). His idea is that if a seed takes there, it had some genetic mutation that would allow it to survive in the wrong climate. He assumes that out of hundreds or thousands of seeds, the probability is high that some will take. I don't know if it is successful yet, but you guys are in zone 8-10 (depending on where you are exactly and your microclimate) and you will only get hotter. Why not experiment in a small patch to see if you could grow cacao and/or coffee? They have started to harvest coffee in Sicily, so it isn't impossible. It's also not a crop that competes with your neighbors--it might even benefit them. The results of the experiment could be very valuable for large parts of Europe.

Even more to your point, you absolutely CAN use soap on cast iron pans. It's LYE that causes issues, and modern soaps, especially bio-degradable ones, will not have any effect on the seasoning of a cast iron utensil.

The moisture in your fridge is coming from all the fresh produce in there. To absorb it you can make a moisture trap out of silica gel that you can buy in bulk as cat litter in a pet store cheaply. This can then be reused indefinitely by drying it out ether in an oven or probably in direct hot sun or maybe a small solar oven. Im in Ireland so I don't have any experience of direct hot sun to try that ;)

Hi Portugal camp. I saw you grow fruit trees. It's great. Questions: 1. Do you have two different avocado trees that will pollinate each other? Or one tree that sprinkles pollen to itself? 2. Is it possible to give more time to read the English subtitles when you add them on different images? Unfortunately, I read English slowly and this will help me a lot. Thank you very much. 3. Idea for saving space in the kitchen - all containers over 1 liter/kilo will be in the renovated container and in the kitchen there will be containers up to 1 liter/kilo that are filled as needed. 4. The mold problem can be solved by better ventilation.

Yes, it looked like the avacado tree was planted right in the middle of the the herb patch - which, perhaps was intentional? But means it will eventually shade out the rest of the garden? Seems like it should be at the edge or to the side of the area, if they hope to keep the herb area going

To reduce the coffee impacts, explore adding chicory to the blend to reduce the amount of coffee beans used. A blend provides a transition and you can possibly do all chicory in the future. Chickory uses less water and has a smaller carbon footprint than coffee and has some health benefits.. It is grown commercially in parts of Europe so the travel/import related part of the CO2 calculations should be lower. If someone REALLY wants coffee then that can be a personal purchase and use similar to alcohol or cigarettes.

charcoal merely as a means of heating is a bit polluting really though it has many different uses. Charcoal shines when it comes to grilling or smoking but often you're looking for a certain kind of wood, which the mimosa just is not. what would be interesting to me is, considering how fast the stuff grows, to see if all this carbon can be sequestered in some kind of way without releasing it back into the atmosphere. if such a thing could be developed it could be applied all over portugal in the same sweeping motion that is done to fire proof the land.

Regarding the fridge; salt is naturally hydrophilic so it will absorb moisture from the air. It could also be sun dried for reuse. Lacto-fermentation could be used to preserve greens when they start to wilt. The majority of fresh produce can be easily pickled with vinegar. Surplus fruit can easily be made into chutney or vinegar. You can make your own vinegar with fruit on the turn with water and a 'mother of vinegar'. Vegan Kefir can made with most vegan milk alternatives.

You have done very well preparing food for 25 in such confining areas. You need to expand preparation, cooking, washup. Also will have to create a serving area. Less foot traffic in immediate kitchen. Fridge mold: Check door seals, door closed, water drain line to tray, clean and vacuum fridge fan, compressor, evaporator coils, check manufacturer's space clearances, measure humidity levels in kitchen and if high a dehumidifier may be required. Thereis alot crammed into a small space with a lot of foot traffic. Additional room air circulation may be needed to reduce humidity and cooling. Possibly adding intake/exhaust fans.

I would sugest you guys increase your food preservation. This would allow you to buy more food in season and reduce the amount of trips to buy food, specially when there is less produce available. To increase your food preserving: - have you considered a freezer? - canning is a good option as well as fermenting. - sun drying fruits and vegetables. If you have a big cheese consumption maybe consider making the cheese buying the milk from local producers or even having goats or sheeps in the kamp. Like many people have sugested having chickens and increasing your vegetable garden would also help.

In the north of France where i'm from, coffee was often considered a bit of a luxury, since the region was quite poor. People would instead drink chicory! It's super nice, has no caffeine, and is grown very easily. I don't know how hard it is to transform the plant into grounds, but it is still a favourite. It doesn't replace the taste of coffee, but it does have its distinctive taste and can be more easily and ethically sourced from a place that isn't as far as Kenya!

I don't know the exact numbers but I feel like you could use some more proteins. The cheapest solution that comes to my mind could be buying some chickens to have some eggs.

I loved this ep! As a foodie and avid gardener its great to see you explore food security and sustainability. I definitely suggest growing more food with your land and making more compost with the immense clippings, wood chips and food waste you have. Also is there a reason why you’re strictly vegan in cooking? Chooks are a great permaculture edition to any homestead providing food through eggs and manure for growing more food. Maybe also explore more canning/preserving options for food to enable you to do less trips for food? Keep up the fab work🎉

Some ideas on making your camp more sustainable: You can "produce" your own gas for cooking. You are enough people so that the accommodating food waste can produce a relatively good amount of gas. I would suggest you research if there are providers for these gas producing systems (you could set them up but that can be tricky) in your area. Some aspects on growing your own food (I can only speak from what I have learned over the years in Germany in my gardens): It is not always easier to grow your own food, but it is always more sustainable.
