Chris Parent, Cochise County, AZ
C H R I S P A R E N T
Chris Parent is the Vice President, Hydroponics at the Veterans Church since the spring of 2018 concurrent with being a Conductor on the Computer Underground Railroad. He is a key team player in the revised mission to make hunger, homelessness and thirst ancient concepts using (new age) #greenhouse farming, #3dprinting buildings / infrastructure, and atmospheric water generation systems.
Parent’s background perfectly suits him for the work at hand. He has a long and distinguished history in community empowerment, farming and food service, giving him a greatly needed, dynamic agricultural perspective in this age of a pandemic, climate crisis plus projected food and water shortages.
As far back as 1996 Parent specialized in solution based good works.
Community Service: From 1996-2000 he was a volunteer for President Jimmy Carter’s Habitat for Humanity in Americus, GA; the American Red Cross in Douglas, AZ; Public Works for the Douglas Nature Conservatory and the Leaders corps in Flagstaff, AZ.
Food Service / Restaurant Owner: Parent’s passion for growing plants and cooking resulted in in him owning two successful local restaurants between 2000 and 2008, Mountain Sushi Bar (2002-05) and Renaissance Pizza (2005-08) where he was responsible for all aspects of his restaurants, i.e. ordering ingredients, preparing food, employee management and most importantly, customer service.
Health Care: As a Cochise County Caregiver, using biofeedback and plant based medicines that he grows, Chris is a local healing legend in the community. Many who have used his techniques, both physical and spiritual, have experienced healings as a result of his guidance.
Hydroponics: Parent’s 12 years as a farmer is rich in experience. In addition to farming, he is consulting in the art and science of growing healthy, high quality crops to other local farmers. By combining hydroponics with robotics and his experiences with his scientific background, he is perfectly suited for this trailblazing, profitable and community enriching work.
Education: Parent’s formal education achieved a B.A. from Northern Arizona University in 2001 where he majored in religious studies with a minor in French and a B.S. in zoology minoring in chemistry. While there he served as the founder and president of NAU Students For A Free Tibet and as a tutor in the fields of English, algebra/precalculus and physics. His education is the perfect foundation for these works.
10 acres, Cochise County, AZ
Parent's strategic guidance and hands on experience in the field of seed to plate food service is a big part of the reason this mission is as developed as it is.
When the R&D question was aquaponic (water and fish) or hydroponic (water and nutrients), he made the right call.
During an exhaustive search sorting through the many greenhouse companies he not only chose the best one, AmHydro, he already has plans to triple the growing space in the greenhouse configuration.
While navigating through the endless maze called Cochise County, (which made it illegal to operate a commercial farm on the property in Mc Neal, AZ by doubling the land requirements to open a farm) his calm and logical spirit consistently lifts the missions of those around him.

"Belief is a powerful thing" by Dr. of Chiropractic Jeri Rose
Belief is a powerful thing. There is a tribe who liked what the West brought on its planes. When the West ceased to have interest in going there, the people prayed for the planes to return and created a religion based on using their belief to get those planes back. Belief was not strong enough then. The Egyptians had a belief in an afterlife that would emerge and required mummification and an elaborate structure and ritual that now stands as a great tourist attraction in a desert. We do not credit their belief any longer as coming true and their religion died and their descendants are now Muslims. Christians have a belief that a Jew died to save them from a sin that evolved from humanity in the form of the first woman seeking to know the difference between good and evil. This Jew was proposed to be capable of returning in some future time when all true Christians will be resurrected from their graves. Our society still falters upon this notion and blames women and has concocted a scenario wherein the Jews are at the crux of a war that sets the stage for this return of the most famous Jew. The Muslims believe that their God demands that they spread their religion, their belief in God, by all means. Their belief sets the stage for a politics of war and power. Christians believe that the war that brings forth the return of their God requires their faith in this war and therefore their acceptance of it. There are people who claim there is no truth. That all is based on belief and there is no God with any expectation of humans achieving a moral and spiritual goal. They believe only in the obvious physical world and the ability of science to discover how it works. The more scientists delve into the workings of the particles that come together to make the physical world, the more they find that these suggest an energy determines their creation and activity. Truth that there is God but not one that measures up to the dogma of religion means that there is truth on the side of those who are drowned in belief that is as futile as that of the cargo cult. What is truth? Sorting it out is the truth. The cargo cult of the sacred mountain holds the truth of the sanctity of all reality and thus of every piece of dust. The sanctity of the human search to know not only good from evil but truth from belief and the variety of methods that subatomic particles become atoms and the chemistry of molecules that finally form a human capable of delving into the question of everything is the holy path. What a human does that honors the search that seeks to peer through a microscope or a telescope is as sacred as the mountain. We are required to consider our means. Do we recognize the danger to life of our activities. Whatever the created sanctity of oil, uranium and poison mushrooms, we must take care not to destroy in our greedy use of whatever is at hand. When the Europeans came to the land now known as the United States, their ethos cared little for what truth and benefit existed in those people who lived without horses or iron. No human can deny the benefit of our modern inventions. Any human who denies the sanctity of and sacredness of life and the reality that God creates will utilize these inventions and make things without care for the whole. The result is good sublimated to greed and become a detriment to the whole. Then there is the crowd clamoring to have their belief run the world and force cargo planes to come and telescopes to crumble. Picking our way through the truth is the human sacred path.
