SERA Mailing List
Socially and Ecologically Responsible Agriculture
http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/sera

Overview:

Welcome to the sera@lists.ibiblio.org mailing list, a forum for
those who believe in, promote, practice and / or actively
support Socially and Ecologically Responsible Agriculture.

Subscribers share the view that Sustainable Agriculture is by
nature, Socially and Ecologically Responsible - and vice versa.
That is, any agricultural practice or production system that ISN'T
Socially and Ecologically Responsible, can't be considered Sustainable.

All those that share this view are welcome to participate and help
provide the means to further and strengthen this cause.

Details:

The Socially and Ecologically Responsible Agriculture e-mail
discussion group is a mailing list targeted at Sustainable
Agriculture Activists, Writers, Researchers, Practitioners and Product Vendors
interested in contributing to the definition, solution and support of any of
the many questions, issues and tasks that may arise when someone decides to
farm and live in harmony with both nature and social values.

Those subscribing believe that Socially and Ecologically Responsible
Agriculture signifies an equitable and integral approach to farming,
an activity involving myriad, whole living organisms (some of which
are human) within multiple, biological and social systems.

No one subscribing considers using, promoting or eating GM crops,
or using or promoting synthetic pesticides or fertilizers to be sustainable.
On the SERA list sterile and distracting conflicts are either totally absent
or
very short lived (in fact, none have arisen, to date).

The Socially and Ecologically Responsible Agriculture Discussion
Group is open to interested parties located anywhere in the world.

If enough interest is generated, the formation of a Socially and
Ecologically Responsible Agricultural Development Institute is also
contemplated. The objectives, strategies and activities of the
Socially and Ecologically Responsible Agricultural Development
Institute (SERADI) will be discussed on SERA.

SERA's protocols include the use of pure rather than html text and
frowns on remailing full quotes (often with scarce additions),
except when these are relevant to the current post. Other
suggestions in this regard are also welcome.
Addendum:
The full quotes referred to are those the mailer automatically
copies when replying to a previous post. Those replying to previous
post are encouraged to erase those parts of a previous post that
aren't relevant to the reply being made. Otherwise, a short reply
that needlessly repeats the full text of the previous post, wastes
bandwidth, increases download times and requires additional hard
disk, server and archive space. This is a request commonly made on
many lists.

Anyone who views agriculture as a biological and social
activity and are interested in subscribing to SERA can do so by
visiting: http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/sera;
message archives, also open to the public, exist at:
https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/sera/.
