#1000ROSEHuts Practitioners’ Day Zero: Soils for Survival

When the systems we depend on collapse — food supply, transport, energy, finance — survival begins with soil, seeds, scraps, and shared knowledge.

In Soils for Survival, we learn to grow food quickly in small spaces using whatever materials are available, empowering communities to shift from despair to resilience.

From the first handful of compost to the first harvest of greens in 14 days, every act of regeneration leads to recovery — and renewal.
⚡ Opening Scenario

The storm hit harder than anyone imagined. In two days, crops were flattened, roads washed away, and power grids destroyed. Food shelves were bare, trucks couldn’t move, and fuel was gone.

But amidst the devastation, green shoots of hope emerged. In backyards and buckets, on rooftops and in sacks — survival gardens began to take root.

This is where our story begins.

This intensive, half-day workshop is designed to give you the practical knowledge to start growing food immediately in a crisis. We will cover 5 essential modules:

• Module 1: Survival Inputs – Finding and Using Essential Materials
• Module 2: Emergency Food Production Systems
• Module 3: Fast-Growing Nutritious Crops
• Module 4: Community Survival Strategies
• Module 5: Survival Action Plan

Sustainable Development Practitioners will work alongside:

• Steve Capeness (Grow Safe Food)
• Khoo Peng Keat (Food Forest Farm – The Kind Grower & The Forest Keepers)
• Billie Tan (Campus Zero @ Moonriver Lodge, Sigar Highlands Sustainable Development Centre)

Participants will explore two Bilberries Blue ROSEHut innovation sites — The Bus Collective and City Sprouts West Coast — both located near Singapore’s coastlines and nature parks.

• The Bus Collective repurposes vintage SBS buses into eco-luxury hospitality suites.
• City Sprouts West Coast nurtures an inclusive community of urban farmers.

Together, these Kind Grower Community Urban Farms aim to model climate-resilient microfarms.

By combining Steve’s expertise in biological agronomy with Peng Keat & Billie’s 15 years of rainforest conservation and pesticide-free farming experience in the Titiwangsa Highlands and Malaysia–Singapore fresh produce supply chains, we invite practitioners and aspiring sustainability stewards to:

• Prepare for climate emergencies
• Build community-based food security
• Test-bed climate-resilient microfarms in Singapore

A series of onsite microseminars in Sustainable Rural–Urban Development for climate emergency preparedness and regenerative living.

Each session is conducted at a Bilberries Blue ROSEHut innovation site, pairing sustainability leaders across industries to develop communities and marketplaces of character.

1. Stewardship of Dignity
2. Biosphere–Biodiversity
3. Circular, Pesticide-Free Food
4. Fully Inclusive Care
5. Culture of the School of Life

Through these principles, we integrate healthcare, research, innovation, education, skills development, entrepreneurism, and small-site regeneration into every ROSEHut pairing.
