Bio Andrea Eng

Class '85, born in Latina.
I lived my first 13 years in a small village in the Lazio region Agro Pontino area.

I was born in a farmers family.
My grandfather, class '25, was a long-time farmer, he worked in two convents for more than 40 years, as well as an infinite number of sharecropping and seasonal jobs.
I was born in the land, among milling, vegetable gardens, olive trees, tomato purees, figs with walnuts for Christmas and the preserves that my grandma kept in her cellar.
Due to differents family dynamics, at 14 I was forced to move to Rome and live at my aunt's house, my life scenery changed and during high school the big city life captivated me.
I graduated as commercial technician and I started my university path in law.
At 21 years old, the crack happens, my farmer soul has awakened, I was completely at odds with the world I saw around me.
Thus came the studies crisis, after two years of exams, and I began to understand that the legal system would never have allowed me to arrest all the "bad guys".
Added to work and relationship crises (at this time I was a financial and insurance promoter) I was forced to stop my whole life and reorganize myself.
When I was 22 years old I come back home, to begin a courses, associations and shared garden path. In 2011/12 I created my Semia association.
A friend and association member's degree thesis inspired me, he was graduating in architecture at "La Quaroni" in Rome.

This project was including very interesting and innovative ideas, as reforestation with different techniques and biomass power plants etc.
Part of his work was triggered by me, together strong in love for a conscious nature's return.
The Suppentonia Castel Sant'Elia valley was the native land of my paternal family.
In 2013 I activated with another association my first training courses called "Basic natural agriculture workshop".

In 2014, to feed my passion, I did my first PDC with Dr. Pietro Zucchetti, from the Italian Permaculture Institute.
I was a student and collaborator of this institution until 2021.

During that decade I studied and worked in restaurants and pizzerias at the same time.

Between 2016/17 my son Gabriele was born and I decided to resume the university chapter, which I closed with regret years ago, and in October 2017, at 32 years old, I started the moutain sciences faculty. I was a student until 2029, when covid and related dynamics, both social and economic, forced me to stop again this path.
In 2018/19 I met Andrea Donnoli through Facebook, I still remember his posts on a group.
I saw his plants grown in net cylinders and I realized that what he did resonated with me.
So I wrote him, he explained some things to me and shared his garden plan.
We did his first electroculture course in Italy at my house!

From then on began a journey made of friendship and shared information. I created with him the electro-permaculture design, we did 3 installations together and many courses, ongoing until today.
In the meantime I participated at a Confcooperative Lazio call, arriving among the finalists.
In the same year I attended an agro homeopathy course with Dr. Radko Tichavsky, world's leading exponent in this field.

Another more interface to this study and practice path.
In 2020 started my flight from the nest: on february 2020 I rented a land piece, 3 hectares and a lot of things to do. During the march 2020 covid, I lost my job and I had to reorganize myself again.
I decided to build my work, between gardening maintenance, seasonal harvests and permaculture and electroculture
projects. On february 2022 I created a garden school, gift economy based. In june of the same year I created the Permafarmer club.

At the end of 2022 Andrea Donnoli proposed me to join the vibrational energy agriculture academy, a very intense and exciting path.
So many acquired skills and experiences!

I lived a 2023 full of news, courses and conferences where I had the opportunity to train/inform about 50 people. I also started to produce some gadgets for the elettro-coltura.com website.

I have laid the foundations of two new projects, one already started with Soillazio, the agricultural company of which I am partner, and another with a company that will be born between 2024/25 (Fernando s.r.l)

2024 also had excellent prospects, like the prototype of some new gadgets and an educational path in Sutri.

I still training to be able to offer an increasingly professional and comprehensive service.

I love what I do and and it is a continuous stimulus for me.

After a complete introduction of myself I now want to tell you about the misadventure that occurred on December 11 of the current year.
I had a bad unespected event with my car, a work fundamental tool for me.
I was coming back home, the street was dark and a wild boar crossed my road. I was unable to avoid it completely, but I have some good news: the wild boar remained on the ground for a few seconds, then got up, shook its fur and without any wounds or damage continued on its way.
For my car, however, the news was not so good, it suffered internal and external damage and is practically to be thrown away, or in the best of cases it has a short life.
I proceeded to contact the insurance company which unfortunately will not be of any help to me because the damage is higher than the vehicle value.
I am in a very delicate and economically unstable moment, I support my family with my work (me, my partner and our son) and for the self-employed work that I do I am really struggling, since as you know my car is numbered.
Without another car I risk to lose all my jobs, so I humbly ask you for a help, I'm sure together we can achieve a small miracle.
The economic goal of the crowdfunding is variable, since it will be based on how many resources I will receive to be able to find a vehicle to replace mine.
In my dreams, I would like to buy a new vehicle, a 4x4 with a trailer, since I work with gardening and agriculture, but obviously what matters most is to have a working car.
I am sure that with a little help from many, everything is possible!
I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I hope that this flash fundraiser can help me to continue all my work connected to the land and its care!
