A community for vegan gardeners to share their successes and learnings.

Vegan gardening (or veganic gardening) is gardening without the use of animal agriculture including common inputs like manure, bone and blood. It also avoids chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Instead of these elements veganic gardening uses crop rotation, mulching, compost, green manures, etc to replenish the soil and minimize loss to pests.

Everyone is welcome to participate, but if you are not vegan or a vegan gardener, please refrain from posting about non-vegan practices or debating the merit of this method.

Where can I find a directory of vegan communities in Ecuador?

I'm currently eating a mostly raw vegan diet, and I'm trying to transition to more of a fruitarian diet. But living in Northern Europe, the fruit options here are very limited. I've learned about a few vegan communities in Ecuador that I'd like to visit, but information about them is sparse.

I'm going on a trip to South America soon to visit Ecuador. I've tried googling for "vegan ecuador," but most of the results are just about restaurants. I don't care much for capitalism, eating at a restaurant, or "eco-tourism" (veganism isn't a diet!). I am looking to learn about vegan projects in Ecuador, possibly joining a vegan intentional community there.

But first, to plan my trip, I'd like to get a list of all the vegan intentional communities in Ecuador.

Are there any lists of actual vegan communities in Ecuador?

Eco-Libre's website has a map of vegan intentional communities in Ecuador:

map source

The map shows 11 communities: 7 strictly-vegan plus 4 vegetarian (or mostly-vegetarian) communities. Some of them are clustered together, so it's hard to see without zooming-in, but the link above has an interactive map and lists all the communities with links to their websites for more info.

Most of them are located in the Amazon and are focused on reforestation or conservation of some kind. Many are raw vegan or high-raw or fruit-based (much of the volunteer work appears to be dedicated to growing fruit tree forests).
