> My reason for getting in touch is that i'm doing a post-

> community spirit and how this may be related to sustainable 
> agriculture (currently seen as merely a technical matter!).  My task

> sustainability then hunt out case studies of communities (including 
> intentional communities such as eco-village / permaulture 
> communities) that have taken the matter of sustainable agriculture 
> and sustainability in general a bit further.
