„What are you currently working on?“
Good question. I guess our direct work revolves around regenerative agriculture and supporting farmers and teams in their transition towards a regenerative approach. Using management practices from system thinking, holistic management, permaculture, and lean management.
Yet, a second layer of work follows us into every conversations and relationship.
A landscape needs its people.
A layer of mostly indirect work, where conversations, relationships, and ‘being there for each other‘ happens in addition to the regenerative management.
I guess this indirect work is the important work. It’s the glue that will actually make you, make us, go through struggles together.
We need to put down roots to feel the commitment to place, habitat, neighbors and region.
Everything in life, everything on earth is relationships. From the electron, protons and neutrons in the atom to the bacteria, protozoa, and nematodes in the soil food web to me and my neighbor who pulls me out of the driveway on a snowy, icy evening.
If it’s an old or new farm, an existing village, or as a group of people reviving a place, when we feel that we are connected and that I can count on you and you on me, we show up.
How can we create intentional communities to regenerate the landscapes that need us?
To fill the landscape back with life.
To fill us back with life. Together.
Isn’t this what land regeneration is all about?
