The Kiko
Top goat for extensive agriculture - brushing
Kiko goats originated from Whalers in the South Pacific who released goats on the islands to help ensure a reliable food supply in such remote areas. In the 1960's, after 150 or so years of natural selection, some of these goats were captured by the New Zealanders and put through an intensive 30 year breeding program where they were crossed with with best features of different breeds too create a superior commercial goat. These goats are bred to be hardy and low maintenance with strong maternal ability and parasite resistance. Kiko goats typically perform better on brush compared to other dairy breeds that have been developed with intensive grain feeding.

Feeding goats forage and Biochar on top of driftwood berms can provide several benefits for nourishing the shoreline environment and improving shoreline resilience and biodiversity:
- Vegetation Management: Goats are natural grazers and will consume the vegetation on the driftwood berms. By feeding them forage, you can control the growth of plants, including invasive species, and maintain a more balanced ecosystem. This prevents overgrowth, ensures the survival of native plants, and creates space for a diverse range of species to thrive.
- Soil Enrichment: Biochar, a form of charcoal produced from organic waste, is known for its soil-enhancing properties. By spreading Biochar on the driftwood berms, it enriches the soil with essential nutrients, improves soil structure, and enhances water retention capacity. This creates a fertile environment for plant growth and promotes the establishment of diverse plant species.
- Erosion Control: The presence of goats and their feeding activities can help compact the soil on the driftwood berms, reducing the risk of erosion caused by wind and water. This stabilization prevents soil loss, protects against coastal erosion, and contributes to the overall resilience of the shoreline.
- Habitat Restoration: Many shoreline areas suffer from habitat degradation due to human activities or natural disturbances. Feeding goats forage and Biochar on driftwood berms can be part of a broader habitat restoration strategy. By nourishing the shoreline environment, you facilitate the restoration of natural habitats, support the return of native plant species, and provide food and shelter for various wildlife.
- Biodiversity Enhancement: A healthy and diverse ecosystem is essential for shoreline resilience and biodiversity. By managing vegetation and enriching the soil, you create conditions that support a wide range of plant and animal species. This increased biodiversity strengthens the overall resilience of the shoreline ecosystem, making it more resistant to disturbances and promoting a thriving natural environment. Overall, feeding goats forage and Biochar on top of driftwood berms offers a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to shoreline nourishment. It promotes vegetation management, enhances soil fertility, controls erosion, restores habitats, and fosters biodiversity. These actions contribute to the overall improvement of shoreline resilience and create a thriving environment for both flora and fauna.
