Innovation does not happen in a vacuum nor can one person alone solve all the world’s crisis. We are committed to expanding our community of thinkers and doers, and with this we are extending our platform and donation model to help elevate Citizen Science. We will use our platform to recognize individuals in need of financial or educational resources, but are already making contributions in the field of permaculture, sustainable dwellings, regenerative practices, aquaculture, environmental quality studies, and education or awareness efforts. I hope this serves as a “kickstarter” bulletin board, a space to contribute directly to the individuals and the infrastructure that brings them together. The Braxton Foundation is committed to advancing technology for a human centric greener future, one in which technology does not displace or replace our natural world, but works to sustain and expand our natural resources.

Grow your audience.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Citizen Science Bulletin Board

Here’s what we’re working on to help farmers and homesteaders care for their land:

  1. Bartering App-TradeValley
    We’re making a means by which anyone can exchange goods for other goods and are incentivised to do so, with out the go between and disputes of $ value. www.tradevalley.org app will be live Summer 2025!

  2. Local Plant Guide
    We’re making a list of plants, trees, and crops that grow well in your area with little care. These include vegetables, flowers, and trees that are safe for the land and don’t take over.

  3. Plant and Pollinator Mixes
    We’re learning how to combine plants, trees, and flowers that work together. These help attract bees and other pollinators, keep pests under control, and make the soil better.

  4. Soil Health
    Everything we grow and raise should help the soil. Plants and animals can give back by adding nutrients, keeping the soil loose, and protecting it from drying out or washing away.

  5. Water Management
    We’re looking at how to shape the land—using trenches and ponds—to catch and hold rainwater. This helps keep the soil wet and reduces runoff.

  6. Reusing Household Water
    We’re figuring out ways to safely reuse water from the home. It can go to plants or back into the house to cut down on waste.

  7. Long-Term Planning
    We’re making a plan to grow trees and manage land over the years. Trees will add shade, protect the soil, and help the farm grow stronger over time.

The goal is simple: healthy soil, healthy plants, and a better way to work with the land.
