Chief Engineering Officer @5th World

AB, CA

I currently lead the Regenerative Property Design team at 5th World. We focus on design autonomous, regenerative properties that provide their owners with abundant food, energy and the cleanest drinking water on planet earth. Our work takes us right across North America and sometimes overseas. Our main areas of focus are- Roof-top rainwater harvesting for drinking, irrigation and process use- Low-energy greenhouse design- Broadacre water harvesting, erosion control, drought and fireproofing- Edible landscaping, including high-production vegetable gardens, food forests, orchards and integrated livestock systems- Ecosystem regenerationWe have found that there are very few people out there to help with integrated property design. There are a lot of trades and specialists that you can hire to build the property, but few people exist to sort out how all the components come together, this is where 5W shines. Stay tuned to my profile where I will share projects and case studies of our work.
