*We came away from the meeting optimistic that our dreams of developing
sustainability projects in a worker-cooperative framework can be realized.
The two systems have the potential to be mutually beneficial: permaculture
can contribute to the environmental sustainability aspects of Mondragon, and
the economic and social sustainability aspects of the Mondragon cooperative
can stabilize permaculture in the world (Gaia Permaculture). A permaculture
worker-cooperative could research, develop and replicate the permaculture
worker cooperative complex and create a truly sustainable future. A Gaia
Permaculture Mondragon Cooperative Complex.*
