The Plant That Fuels Any Engine They Buried in 1937

Infinite Flour Without a Single Grain

This Forgotten Root Produces 16x More Flour Than Wheat

What if the most productive flour plant on Earth grew wild in every roadside ditch and backyard pond? A root that yields over six thousand pounds of flour per acre while wheat barely produces four hundred. Indigenous peoples across six continents ground this into bread for thirty thousand years. Modern agriculture chose to drain the wetlands and bury this knowledge. In this video, we explore the science, history, and practical methods behind cattail flour. You will learn why this plant outperforms every grain crop and how our ancestors discovered flour production twenty thousand years before the agricultural revolution even began.

The Science Behind Cattail Flour

Research published in peer reviewed journals confirms what traditional knowledge preserved for millennia. Studies in Poland found that cattail rhizomes contain up to seventy percent starch by dry weight, rivaling pure cornstarch in density. Brazilian researchers demonstrated anti inflammatory properties in cattail flour when tested on laboratory subjects. Archaeological analysis by Anna Revedin and colleagues revealed starch grains embedded in thirty thousand year old grinding stones from sites in Italy, Russia, and the Czech Republic. The grains came from cattail and fern roots, proving sophisticated food processing existed long before domesticated grains. This is not speculation. This is documented science confirming an ancient human food technology.

Compassion in World Farming

What do we campaign for?

We believe every farm animal deserves a life worth living, free from cages, confinement, and suffering: free to roam and express their natural behaviours. The welfare and wellbeing of these intelligent, sensitive creatures is at the heart of all we do.

Soil Saviors

Cancer used to be 1 in 15, now it's 1 in 2. Here's why, and what you can do about it.
Dr. Richard Olree explains how decades of monocropping, Roundup use, and industrial farming have stripped the soil of critical minerals
like selenium and boron, and what that means for your DNA, your immune system, and your cancer risk.

Hartshead Meats, Ashton-under-Lyme
A recent animal rights protest at Hartshead Meats near Oldham followed an exposure of the abattoir's Halal and Kosher practices, by an activist who infiltrated the business over several weeks, and witnessed and filmed animals being butchered, cut up and dismembered whilst still alive, in extreme fear and distress, with blood flowing down the road. This barbaric practice goes against all our animal protections, welfare and rights, fought for over centuries in the UK.

The Great Rising Supermarket and Local Farming Revolution
With British farming in crisis, we believe a few wise and workable ideas could turn the situation around for the benefit of farmers, supermarkets, local shops and consumers.
As with the organic and vegan movements of the past, we suggest every supermarket should have a section dedicated to produce grown as locally as possible. So much of the food sold these days is lacking in nutrition, and is mass produced, disguising ingredients and sacrificing quality for quantity. A mass movement could help return us to more traditional methods, with many in the community taking part in things such as growing food, bee keeping, assisting on farms etc. Farmers markets could return in more numbers to our under-used attractive market squares, and could have a more widely accessible presence in our big towns and cities, with vans selling produce, and more independent businesses selling produce door to door.

Small local shops could participate by advertising local produce too, under a government-backed scheme. This would improve the fortunes of farmers, local suppliers and also the health and nutrition of those buying the produce, with long term benefits, and also reducing pressure on the National Health Service.

The Great Rising Community and Local Politics Revolution
Likewise, with the advance of AI, we see an opportunity to counteract the predicted loss of jobs, due to robot and AI replacements. We believe this could kickstart a wave of community engagement, be it getting involved with local politics, helping with growing local food and planting orchards, helping to care for children and the elderly, teaching young people useful skills, and many other ways we could all help at ground level. It could also spark the growing move towards spirituality and help us as we all learn about our real purpose here, where everyone is deemed vital and necessary, with a part to play. This could assist with reviving our high streets, as well as tackling social isolation and mental health problems.

Local governance could return to the Witan style of old, where wise people are elected by the people to decision-making positions, steering away from the centralised, unaccountable and chaotic politics which we are currently experiencing.

More soon on both of these projects.
