Sowing Seeds of Regeneration

Here in El Manzano we are interested in solutions that work, in a positive approach to creating regenerative landscapes. We realise that the anti business and government approach to activism based on negative crises campaigns has largely failed us. It is time to move on.

One regenerative strategy to the transgenic problem, for example, is on the saving, growing and sharing of organic open pollinated seed varieties. This is a regenerative, positive, and solutions based strategy that is very subversive to the intentions of corporations like Monsanto. If we retain our own seeds, and control our own food supply, thier strategies become irrelevant, we can transcended the problem.

There are basically three broad strategies available to those of us who wish to see an equitable, healthy and viable human future:

1. The first is to slow the system down, to do things better, efficiency, or what we might call education about sustainability.
2. The second is to build new structures and patterns, to do better things, substitute, or education for sustainability.
3. The third level is to transcend the system. It means to see the world differently, to transform ourselves, and help others around us move. This is education as sustainability.

We can do all three things at once, but must do them from a new perspective, a new way of seeing the world. We can slow the system down by providing truthfull and timely information to the public. We can build our own gardens, networks of food consumers and producers. And most importantly we can take the fight away from the big corporations by ignoring them to death.
