*Most planning rests on the assumption that tomorrow will be like
yesterday. We are seeing signs that the very basis for our economy may
change rapidly. Signals urges strategists to pay attention to the interface
between land functioning ? ongoing changes, the nature of the firm, and
where money is being invested. Careful consideration of these factors will
help your firm navigate the future.*

DOUBTS CAPITALISM CAN PERFORM

Is the basic paradigm of capitalism ? the stock market listed firm ?
ceasing to perform properly?

Economist Micheal Roberts highlights the large percentage of corporations
that are acting like zombies. That is to say they are just about servicing
their debts but there is nothing left over for growth or shareholder
dividends. Read his blog here: Beware of the Zombies.
<https://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2017/01/23/beware-the-zombies/>

An earlier signal came from the IMF who have entertained the notion that
neoliberal policies have increased inequality and stunted economic growth.
Read the FORTUNE Article here
<http://fortune.com/2016/06/03/imf-neoliberalism-failing/> or go straight
to the report. <http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/fandd/2016/06/ostry.htm>

The economic risks in the US are not to be underestimated.
<http://www.cbsnews.com/news/80-percent-of-us-adults-face-near-poverty-unemployment-survey-finds/>
So
too the other aspect of current capitalism, assets like stock or houses
becoming with many more times than their earning capacity or replacement
value. Sooner or later the value might collapse
<http://evonomics.com/the-rise-of-finance-and-the-fall-of-american-business/>
.

Added to the economic risks of the system itself is the ongoing oil
depletion scenario
<http://www.feasta.org/2017/01/22/end-of-the-oilocene-the-demise-of-the-global-oil-industry-and-of-the-global-economic-system-as-we-know-it/>where
oil supplies will diminish faster than renewable solutions (including
killing transport demand) can be implemented. If your organization has not
yet implemented an oil policy you should consider putting this into your
risk management even if you do not agree with all the warning signs laid
out by the Irish FEASTA organisation.
<http://www.feasta.org/2017/01/22/end-of-the-oilocene-the-demise-of-the-global-oil-industry-and-of-the-global-economic-system-as-we-know-it/>

ALTERNATIVES BEING FORMULATED

Indeed, as the IMF are questioning neoliberalism, thinkers are coming up
with radically new ideas to serve our needs ones that do not require
capital-heavy corporations. One such is the idea of John Boik: Solving
Problems That Matter Could Be the Next Big Thing.

The Swedish Sustainable Economy Foundation base in Stockholm is calling for
an urgent re-think of one of the worlds most polluted seas. It believes the
sea can be saved and the fossil-free economy kicked off at the same time.
<http://tssef.se/the-baltic-a-dying-sea-on-the-doorstep-of-industrial-giants/>

The Natural Step has formulated a scoring system for firms called Future
Fit. <http://futurefitbusiness.org/>

A CLIMATE AND LAND SYSTEM NOT FUNCTIONING

Land functioning, indeed the functioning of the Earth system seems to be
faltering at the edges, and many scientist are blaming mankind?s influence.
you will probably be hearing more of the Anthropocene? the age when man
affected the hole natural system. Witness the aptly-titled Guardian UK
article ? Goodbye forever, friendly Holocene
<https://www.theguardian.com/the-gef-partner-zone/2016/sep/22/goodbye-forever-friendly-holocene>
?.

Specifically, the challenge of water shortage is reaching many places
including the forests
<https://m.phys.org/news/2017-02-forests-worldwide-threatened-drought.html>
and
LaPaz in Bolivia <http://www.popsci.com/la-paz-without-water>.

This change in the climate system is affecting the food system. The world
is about to see another famine, the first since 2011, spreading to four
countries.
<https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2017/feb/12/famine-looms-four-countries-aid-system-struggles-yemen-south-sudan-nigeria-somalia>

Building the Blue Economy, with Gunter Pauli
  ~ April 23, 24, 25, 2010 ~
Santa Barbara City College Campus, Santa Barbara, California

Hosted by the SBCC Center for Sustainability


How a new generation of entrepreneurs can bring
innovations to the marketplace, secure basic needs for all,
and make sustainable businesses competitive.

Join the SBCC Center for Sustainability for a rare chance to spend time with
one of the most innovative thinkers of our times.  Author of the newly
published book "The Blue Economy, 10 Years, 100 Innovations, 100 Million
Jobs" Gunter Pauli challenges us to give up doomsday thinking...
Gunter Pauli suggests by emulating nature we can evolve from an economy based
on scarcity to an economy based on abundance---the cascading, nutrient rich,
Blue Economy. Founder of Zero Emissions Research Initiatives (ZERI) Global
Network, Gunter Pauli pioneered the concept of waste being converted to a
resource with potential for multiple revenue streams while eliminating
pollution. Famous eco-entrepreneur and passionate proponent of green
development worldwide, Pauli is the former president of Ecover Biodegradeable
soap company who built Europe?s first ecological industrial park.

Introduction to the 100 innovations
that could generate 100 million jobs within a decade


By Gunter Pauli
        Imagine 100 innovations that could generate 100 million jobs over the
next decade. Over the next two years I will introduce these real
opportunities one by one, on the basis of technologies proven by scientists
to work, bench marked as a business somewhere in the world, and ready to be
introduced anywhere.
As an entrepreneur, who established 10 companies, I have always been
searching for the best way to enter the market, to out compete the market
leaders. An entrepreneur introduces innovations, that respond to a need,
generate cash flow, create jobs and work with what is readily available. With
a track record in media, databank management, internet and eco-products I was
very much impacted by my incapacity to see how I created collateral damage,
trying to implement a new business model. What happened?
As president of Ecover, I promoted biodegradable soaps manufactured in a
green factory with a huge grass roof. I was shocked to learn that as demand
for palm oil - the main ingredient - increased, more rain forest was
destroyed. How could I ever have overlooked that cleaning up the rivers in
Europe leads to the destruction of the habitat of the orangutan? I learned
the hard way that biodegradability has nothing to do with sustainability.
As a consequence, it became a passion to imagine a model that has no
unintended consequences. I searched for the opportunity to create companies
that outcompete on the market, thanks to solid innovations, dramatically
increasing productivity, improving return on investment, while operating in
harmony with the ecosystems. I imagined business that not only preserves the
environment, rather businesses that enhance the ecosystems in which my
companies operate.
The United Nations University and the Japanese Government offered me the
chance to imagine such businesses, scientifically proven and economically
viable. The platform in Japan permitted me to build a team to pioneer
concrete examples from a beer brewery in Africa, to coffee farming in
Colombia and waste management in Japan.
The hands-on cases inspired me to go back to undertake a competitive
analysis and make an inventory of all innovations that are likely to shape
the future. A review of +2,200 innovations revealed that only very few were
adopted by business. Of all the sustainable innovations borrowed from nature
only three that had become main-stream with sales in excess of 100 million:
Velcro from the USA, Lotusan from Germany marketed by Sto and
Proboscis-inspired needles from Japan made by Terumo.
I turned to the projects I knew, the scientists I visited, the CEOs I had
met and discussed the best ideas with business journalists, corporate
strategists, management scholars, policy makers and innovation experts.
Thanks to their input I drew up a list of 100 innovations that are likely to
change the competitive game in many sectors.
There was a major surprise. When the experts advised me on the magnitude of
potential job generation, the number reached 100 million. Checking the
benchmarks before me, I was surprised that one third of the business ideas
are already invoicing and the several innovations represent platform
technologies applicable in dozens of sectors. This proves there is potential.
A business model emerged that fundamentally changes the rules on the market.
Instead of a triple bottom line, there is a triple cash flow, not just for
the company, also for the community. How is this possible? Ever since
management focused on core business based on core competence, companies have
discarded any opportunity outside their tight focus on economies of scale,
making more of the same cheaper through mergers and acquisitions.
The 100 cases that will be released one after the other provide insights on
how costs within that core business model turn into multiple incomes applying
a concept known as economies of scope. This clustering of value adding
generates revenues that did not even exist. This is the core uniqueness of
the competitive business models that will be released one by one as of
February 22, 2010. There is more.
Once entrepreneurs can generate multiple revenues, value and cash flow, then
it is easier to understand why these innovations also create jobs. On top of
that, since value is created out of something that had no value before, there
is no substitution effect. The traditional economist will be surprised that
higher productivity now equates with job creation.
While the generation of additional cash flow will be a main argument, the
fact that the market leaders have limited means to formulate a competitive
response turns the odds in favor of the entrepreneur.
Companies that have decades of experience and a loyal customer base
worldwide, supported by a stable cash flow and profit margins; will not
easily hand over a major part of business to a newcomer. However, as
postulated, these innovations change the rules of the game, often without
openly informing the key players, taking them off guard and without the
internal competences to respond.
When I promoted a detergent to the market without advertising, how could
companies like Unilever, Henkel and Procter react when their marketing mix is
dependent on advertising? This is exactly the opportunity that entrepreneurs
can embrace.
The portfolio of opportunities based on these 100 cases is vast. More than
one entrepreneur, more than one investor, more than one venture fund can take
the initiative. That is the main reason for offering this inspiration open
source.
The 100 cases offer an insight into an emerging economy - the Blue Economy-
that is more competitive, generates jobs, brings innovations that steer
business towards sustainability and builds up social capital.

Building the Blue Economy, with Gunter Pauli

Santa Barbara City College Campus, Santa Barbara, California


Hosted by the SBCC Center for Sustainability


How a new generation of entrepreneurs can bring
innovations to the marketplace, secure basic needs for all,
and make sustainable businesses competitive.

Join the SBCC Center for Sustainability for a rare chance to spend time with
one of the most innovative thinkers of our times.  Author of the newly
published book "The Blue Economy, 10 Years, 100 Innovations, 100 Million
Jobs" Gunter Pauli challenges us to give up doomsday thinking...
Gunter Pauli suggests by emulating nature we can evolve from an economy based
on scarcity to an economy based on abundance---the cascading, nutrient rich,
Blue Economy. Founder of Zero Emissions Research Initiatives (ZERI) Global
Network, Gunter Pauli pioneered the concept of waste being converted to a
resource with potential for multiple revenue streams while eliminating
pollution. Famous eco-entrepreneur and passionate proponent of green
development worldwide, Pauli is the former president of Ecover Biodegradeable
soap company who built Europe?s first ecological industrial park.

Introduction to the 100 innovations
that could generate 100 million jobs within a decade


By Gunter Pauli
        Imagine 100 innovations that could generate 100 million jobs over the
next decade. Over the next two years I will introduce these real
opportunities one by one, on the basis of technologies proven by scientists
to work, bench marked as a business somewhere in the world, and ready to be
introduced anywhere.
As an entrepreneur, who established 10 companies, I have always been
searching for the best way to enter the market, to out compete the market
leaders. An entrepreneur introduces innovations, that respond to a need,
generate cash flow, create jobs and work with what is readily available. With
a track record in media, databank management, internet and eco-products I was
very much impacted by my incapacity to see how I created collateral damage,
trying to implement a new business model. What happened?
As president of Ecover, I promoted biodegradable soaps manufactured in a
green factory with a huge grass roof. I was shocked to learn that as demand
for palm oil - the main ingredient - increased, more rain forest was
destroyed. How could I ever have overlooked that cleaning up the rivers in
Europe leads to the destruction of the habitat of the orangutan? I learned
the hard way that biodegradability has nothing to do with sustainability.
As a consequence, it became a passion to imagine a model that has no
unintended consequences. I searched for the opportunity to create companies
that outcompete on the market, thanks to solid innovations, dramatically
increasing productivity, improving return on investment, while operating in
harmony with the ecosystems. I imagined business that not only preserves the
environment, rather businesses that enhance the ecosystems in which my
companies operate.
The United Nations University and the Japanese Government offered me the
chance to imagine such businesses, scientifically proven and economically
viable. The platform in Japan permitted me to build a team to pioneer
concrete examples from a beer brewery in Africa, to coffee farming in
Colombia and waste management in Japan.
The hands-on cases inspired me to go back to undertake a competitive
analysis and make an inventory of all innovations that are likely to shape
the future. A review of +2,200 innovations revealed that only very few were
adopted by business. Of all the sustainable innovations borrowed from nature
only three that had become main-stream with sales in excess of 100 million:
Velcro from the USA, Lotusan from Germany marketed by Sto and
Proboscis-inspired needles from Japan made by Terumo.
I turned to the projects I knew, the scientists I visited, the CEOs I had
met and discussed the best ideas with business journalists, corporate
strategists, management scholars, policy makers and innovation experts.
Thanks to their input I drew up a list of 100 innovations that are likely to
change the competitive game in many sectors.
There was a major surprise. When the experts advised me on the magnitude of
potential job generation, the number reached 100 million. Checking the
benchmarks before me, I was surprised that one third of the business ideas
are already invoicing and the several innovations represent platform
technologies applicable in dozens of sectors. This proves there is potential.
A business model emerged that fundamentally changes the rules on the market.
Instead of a triple bottom line, there is a triple cash flow, not just for
the company, also for the community. How is this possible? Ever since
management focused on core business based on core competence, companies have
discarded any opportunity outside their tight focus on economies of scale,
making more of the same cheaper through mergers and acquisitions.
The 100 cases that will be released one after the other provide insights on
how costs within that core business model turn into multiple incomes applying
a concept known as economies of scope. This clustering of value adding
generates revenues that did not even exist. This is the core uniqueness of
the competitive business models that will be released one by one as of
February 22, 2010. There is more.
Once entrepreneurs can generate multiple revenues, value and cash flow, then
it is easier to understand why these innovations also create jobs. On top of
that, since value is created out of something that had no value before, there
is no substitution effect. The traditional economist will be surprised that
higher productivity now equates with job creation.
While the generation of additional cash flow will be a main argument, the
fact that the market leaders have limited means to formulate a competitive

The Peasant Farmer Who Stood Up to the President of Nicaragua

Francisca Ram?rez, the head of the peasant movement that is leading the
fight against the construction of an inter-oceanic canal in Nicaragua,
which has made her a victim of harassment by the administration of Daniel
Ortega. Credit: Luis Mart?nez/IPS

MANAGUA, Feb 24 2017 (IPS) - The unequal battle that small farmer Francisca
Ram?rez is waging against the Nicaraguan government of Daniel Ortega has
become so well-known that people are calling for her security and her
rights from the political heart of Europe.

Who is she and why did the European Parliament order Nicaragua on Feb. 16
to protect her life and rights, as well as those of thousands of peasant
farmers in the centre-south of this impoverished Central American country?

Ram?rez is a 40-year-old indigenous farmer who has lived all her life in
the agricultural municipality of Nueva Guinea, in the Autonomous Region of
Caribe Sur, 280 km from the capital.

She told IPS in an interview that her family has always lived in that rural
area, which was the scene of bloody fighting during the 1980s civil war.

When she was eight, her father abandoned them and her mother had to work as
a day labourer, while Ram?rez took care of her five younger siblings.

Having survived the U.S.-financed war against the government of the
Sandinista Front for National Liberation (1979-1990), Ram?rez learned
agricultural work, got married at 18, had five children, and with the
effort of the whole family, they acquired some land and improved their
living conditions.

The Diggers and Levellers of Warwickshire
Midland Revolt

Declaration of the Diggers of Warwickshire, 1607
https://www.bl.uk/collection-items/declaration-of-the-diggers-of-warwickshire-1607

This item is a 17th-century copy of the contents of a manuscript broadside
composed by rebels in Warwickshire during the Midland Revolt of 1607, and
circulated as a rallying cry to other ?diggers?. The Midland Revolt was a
peasant uprising against land owners who enclosed common and rented land.
Enclosure was leaving rural workers unemployed, homeless and without the
means to feed themselves (for more information see Stow?s *Annales*
<https://www.bl.uk/collection-items/the-midland-revolt-in-stows-annals-of-england>).
The declaration is signed, ?From Hampton field in hast: Wee rest as poore
Delvers & Day labourers for the good of the Commonwelth till death. A. B.
C. D. &c.? The copyist gives the letter the title: ?The Diggers of
Warwickshire to all other Diggers?.

This passionate letter clearly outlines the problem with enclosures and
expresses the sense of urgent need on the part of the ?poore Delvers & Day
labourers? who wrote it against ?these incroaching Tirants, which would
grinde our flesh upon the whetstone of poverty?. The diggers claim they
would rather die ?manfully? in this resistance than die ?for want of that
which these devouring Encroachers doe serve theyr fatt Hogges & Sheep
withall?.

Although they are rebels, the writers present themselves as loyal to the
King, using the imagery of the body politic in describing themselves as
?members of the whole?. They describe the actions of the land owners as
tyrannical, and enclosures as being neither for the good of the monarch nor
the commonality, but only for ?private gaine?.

This manuscript copy comes from several papers found in the study of
William Dell (c. 1607?1669), secretary to Archbishop Laud.

This is an on-going serialisation we are doing of a great little book
called, ?A history of community asset ownership? by Steve Wyler who has
kindly agreed for us to reprint his book on our website. We think a much
better title for the book would be ?The UK common peoples history?. We at
Permanent Culture Now were going to do a very similar take on History that
Steve has done with his book, so when we saw it we were like that?s great
someone has already done the hard work. So we are expanding the work by
adding our views as to why this history is relevant for today, drawing
parallels with then and now and taking from it inspiration for building a
more permanent culture. You can download a pdf of the book for free here
<http://www.dtawales.org.uk/publications/c/152/i/280/> where you can also
find out more about development trusts, this will not have our commentary
in it, so please come back and check the expanded articles on our site.

Historical Essay
by Eric Noble

Does anyone remember the Diggers?
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/6/7/1391445/-Does-anyone-remember-the-Diggers

    The Diggers took their name from the original English Diggers (1649?50)
who had promulgated a vision of society free from buying, selling, and
private property. During the mid- and late 1960s, the San Francisco Diggers
organized free music concerts and works of political art, provided free
food, medical care, transport, and temporary housing and opened stores that
gave away stock. Some of their happenings included the Death of Money
Parade, Intersection Game, Invisible Circus, and Death of Hippie/Birth of
Free.

    The group was founded by Emmett Grogan, Peter Coyote, Peter Berg (later
director of Planet Drum), and other members of the San Francisco Mime
Troupe including Billy Murcott, Roberto La Morticella, and Brooks Bucher.

Their concepts of new institutions to replace the sick ones of those times
was powerful.  Their free stores helped a lot of people.  I see some
activity today of a somewhat similar nature and hope it grows.

    The group sought to create a mini-society free of money and capitalism.
The Diggers provided a free food service in the Panhandle of Golden Gate
Park in Haight-Ashbury every day at four o'clock, generally feeding over
200 people with a stew from donated meat and vegetables that was served
from behind a giant yellow picture frame, called the Free Frame of
Reference. On one occasion, at a free concert in the park, people who came
for the food were given a two-inch-by-two-inch frame to hang about their
necks, called the portable Free Frame of Reference. The Diggers also
popularized whole wheat bread with their Digger Bread, baked in coffee cans
at the Free Bakery in the basement of Episcopal All Saints Church on 1350
Waller Street. In cooperation with All Saints Church and later via the
Haight Ashbury Switchboard at 1830 Fell Street, they arranged free
?crashpads? for homeless youth drawn to the Haight-Ashbury area.

    They opened numerous Free Stores in Haight-Ashbury, in which all items
were free for the taking or giving. The stores offered discarded items that
were still in usable condition. The first Free Store, in a six-car garage
on Page Street that they found filled with empty frames that they tacked up
on the side of the building, was called the Free Frame of Reference and was
later superseded by the Trip Without a Ticket on Frederick Street. It was
unclear how the stores were funded. The 1% Free poster, showing two Chinese
Tong assassins under the Chinese character for revolution, was thought to
be demanding a 1% tithe from merchants, but that was not the case. The
poster was a challenge, implicitly suggesting that 'free' people were the
minority, and inciting others to step up. They also opened a Free Medical
Clinic, initially by inviting volunteers from the University of California,
San Francisco medical school up the hill from the neighborhood.

    They threw free parties with music provided by the Grateful Dead, Janis
Joplin, Jefferson Airplane and other bands. They also staged street theater
events such as driving a truck of semi-naked belly dancers through the
Financial District, inviting brokers to climb on board and forget their
work. On December 17, 1966, the Diggers held a happening called ?The Death
of Money? in which they dressed in animal masks and carried a large coffin
full of fake money down Haight Street, singing ?Get out my life, why don?t
you babe?? to the tune of Chopin?s ?Death March.? This was a precursor to
the happening ?The Death of Hippie,? staged in October 1967. In ?The Death
of Hippie,? also staged in the Haight Ashby neighborhood, masked
participants carried a coffin with the words "Hippie--Son of Media" on the
side. This event was meant to mark the end of the era of Haight-Ashbury.
The event was staged in such a way that any media outlet that simply
described the happening would unknowingly transmit the Diggers' message
that Hippies were a media invention. This was called "creating the
condition you describe". The Diggers skillfully used this technique for
media relations. Their own publications, notably the Digger Papers, are the
origin of such phrases as "Do your own thing" and "Today is the first day
of the rest of your life." The Diggers fostered and inspired later groups
like the Yippies.

Agricultural Justice Project
https://www.agriculturaljusticeproject.org/en/

What We Do
------------------------------

The Agricultural Justice Project (AJP) works to transform the existing
agricultural system. We seek empowerment, justice and fairness for all who
labor from farm to retail. Central to our mission are the principles that
all humans deserve respect, the freedom to live with dignity and nurture
community, and share responsibility for preserving the earth?s resources
for future generations.

Consolidation of power, an economy driven by profit, structural racism, and
the individualistic nature of our culture are among the root causes of the
severe injustices in our food system. These give rise to the advantage of
some people over others and invite corruption and lack of transparency
while silencing many voices. People are pitted against people, sector
against sector. Essential values are discredited and true costs
externalized as we ignore the interconnectedness of whole systems. Working
people who have the power to change the system remain disunited and in the
dark. The very same mechanisms that have led to the need for food justice
have given rise as well to the need for racial and environmental justice.
The negative impacts of climate change, failure to recycle society?s
wastes, and infrastructure deterioration fall most heavily on low income
neighborhoods and communities of color while threatening the present and
future health of all living beings. By focusing on the need for fair
trading in farm products and fair treatment of food workers, AJP
contributes to shifting the dominant system towards greater fairness and
equity. We believe that taking care of and engaging all the members of our
human family are necessary preconditions for the regeneration of a viable
biosphere. Farms and food businesses that function as cohesive, integrated,
aware social organisms have a special role to play in ensuring the health
of humans, cultures, animals, and our planet. Our work spans the U.S. and
Canada in the following main focus areas:

*Providing Certification and Technical Assistance Tools to Transform the
Food System.*

We provide farms and food businesses with technical tools to improve work
and trade practices from farm to retail, including extensive toolkits and
templates, one-on-one technical assistance, and a stakeholder-driven
certification program for high bar social justice standards -- Food Justice
Certification (FJC), the gold standard for labor and trade practices in
North America. We support and partner with third-party certifiers and
worker organizations that carry out the certification and inspection
process for the FJC program. Food Justice Certified products can be found
on grocery store shelves, farmers markets, CSAs and roadside stands. We
maintain a Social Justice Fund, through which five percent of all grants
received are set aside, and a portion is used to subsidize certification
fees through our cost share program for small family farms and independent
retailers and cooperatives that have excellent labor practices, but are
experiencing economic hardship.

*Raising Awareness of the Need for Transforming the Food System and Models
that Can Accomplish Change.*

We engage in outreach and education to raise awareness of the disparities
and injustice in the food system and the types of approaches needed to
realize real change for those marginalized by the current system. Our
awareness-raising work is done through social and public media, events and
presentations, networking and partnering, contributing comments on other
fair market claim programs and associations, providing tools for improving
working and trade practices, and promoting the Food Justice Certified (FJC)
label in the marketplace. The FJC label helps launch conversations about
why such a label is needed and what it means, the existence of inequities
and injustice in the food system, the need to address them, and actions
that can be taken.

*SEED* features Will Bonsall as well as many other colorful seed keepers
who are passionately renewing a seed culture around the world. As Rowen
White says, "seeds are tiny time capsules of life?s rich and layered
stories. It is a precious common heritage and is an essential component to
the future sustainability our food. There is an urgent need to protect seed
sovereignty; the corporations who dominate the seed industry are not
working for the common people.?

Our goal is that *SEED* may empower and strengthen a growing movement to
care for the earth-- to carry on a 12,000 year old heritage as seed
keepers. If you were inspired by the film and would like to contribute a

*Will Bonsall's Essential Guide to Radical, Self-Reliant Gardening*
Innovative Techniques for Growing Vegetables, Grains, and Perennial Food
Crops with Minimal Fossil Fuel and Animal Inputs
"Society does not generally expect its farmers to be visionaries." Perhaps
not, but longtime Maine farmer and homesteader Will Bonsall does possess a
unique clarity of vision that extends all the way from the finer points of
soil fertility and seed saving to exploring how we can transform
civilization and make our world a better, more resilient place.
In Will Bonsall's Essential Guide to Radical, Self-Reliant Gardening,
Bonsall imparts a wealth of knowledge drawn from his more than forty years
of farming experience.
For him the solution is, first and foremost, greater self-reliance,
especially in the areas of food and energy. "My goal," he writes, "is not
to feed the world, but to feed myself and let others feed themselves. If we
all did that, it might be a good beginning.
