About Nature Lost Vault
Preserving the forgotten wisdom of our ancestors, one plant at a time.
Our Mission
Nature Lost Vault is dedicated to rediscovering and sharing the agricultural knowledge, rare plants, and ancient growing methods that modern society has forgotten. We believe that understanding our past is essential to building a sustainable future.
In an era of industrial agriculture and chemical dependence, we explore the time-tested techniques that sustained civilizations for millennia, methods that worked in harmony with nature rather than against it.
What We Do
Through meticulously researched video episodes and detailed written guides, we:
- Document forgotten crops that were once staple foods but have been displaced by modern monocultures
- Revive ancient techniques used by civilizations like the Romans, Egyptians, and Indigenous peoples
- Identify wild edibles hiding in plain sight that offer exceptional nutritional value
- Share soil regeneration methods that build fertility instead of depleting it
- Highlight medicinal plants with powerful healing properties backed by centuries of traditional use
Why This Matters
Modern agriculture has narrowed our food supply dramatically. Of the estimated 30,000 edible plant species on Earth, just 30 crops provide 95% of the world's food energy. This loss of agricultural biodiversity puts our food security at risk.
Meanwhile, ancient soil-building techniques have been replaced by practices that degrade soil health, requiring ever-increasing chemical inputs to maintain yields.
By rediscovering what we've lost, we can:
- Improve our resilience to climate change and environmental challenges
- Reduce dependence on chemical inputs and fossil fuels
- Increase nutritional diversity in our diets
- Regenerate degraded soils naturally
- Preserve cultural heritage and traditional knowledge
Our Approach
Every episode is built on thorough research combining:
- Historical documentation from agricultural texts, archaeological findings, and ethnobotanical records
- Scientific evidence from peer-reviewed studies on plant nutrition, soil science, and ecology
- Traditional knowledge preserved by indigenous cultures and heritage farmers
- Practical application with growing instructions and real-world implementation guidance
We don't romanticize the past, we seek to understand what worked, why it worked, and how we can apply those principles today.
