Here's a similar platform for sustainable agriculture: <a href="https://www.barnraiser.us/projects/building-the-future-of-good-meat-the-butcher-s-guild/updates">Barnraiser</a>! This is a cool project they're supporting at the moment. Have a look yourself.</div>

While, of course, seeds have for millennia been "open source," with the rise of the seed industry at the start of this century plant biotechnology has become increasingly proprietary. This very well may be the way forward against the intellectual property masters of the farms and fields of the world.</div>

While the biological events described are truly disturbing, this was my favorite part:<br />
<br />
"During the 1960s, Tyson Food realized that chicken farming was a losing game. When Tyson executives examined operations at the company, they saw that farming was the least profitable, and most risky, side of the business. When they looked to invest in the future, they decided not to invest in farms."<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a recent <a href="http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304418404579463840253963188">Wall Street Journal piece</a>, Scott Samuelson - a philosopher at Kirkwood Community College in Iowa - captures perfectly the aim of a liberal arts education: the enrichment of experience:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Thinking of the value of the humanities predominately in terms of earnings and employment is to miss the point. America should strive to be a society of free people deeply engaged in "the pursuit of happiness," not simply one of decently compensated and well-behaved employees.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A true liberal-arts education furnishes the mind with great art and ideas, empowers us to think for ourselves and appreciate the world in all its complexity and grandeur. Is there anyone who doesn't feel a pang of desire for a meaning that goes beyond work and politics, for a meaning that confronts the mysteries of life, love, suffering and death?</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I once had a student, a factory worker, who read all of Schopenhauer just to find a few lines that I quoted in class. An ex-con wrote a searing essay for me about the injustice of mandatory minimum sentencing, arguing that it fails miserably to live up to either the retributive or utilitarian standards that he had studied in Introduction to Ethics. I watched a preschool music teacher light up at Plato's "Republic," a recovering alcoholic become obsessed by Stoicism, and a wayward vet fall in love with logic (he's now finishing law school at Berkeley). A Sudanese refugee asked me, trembling, if we could study arguments concerning religious freedom. Never more has John Locke—or, for that matter, the liberal arts—seemed so vital to me.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm glad that students who major in disciplines like philosophy may eventually make as much as or more than a business major. But that's far from the main reason I think we should invest in the humanities."</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm going to continue posting passages and photos that attempt to capture these and similar sentiments.</div>

If you know me or have eaten food from Ecotone, you probably have noticed how I avoid the terms <i>producer</i>, <i>consumer, and</i> <i>customer. </i>I find the abstract, commercial nature of such words inadequate to the relationship between farmers, eaters and food. I feel similarly about education, philosophy and the liberal arts, which is said well <a href="http://m.chronicle.com/article/Faculty-Members-Are-Not/145363/">here</a>.</div>

<br />
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
“As a society, we live with the unbearable by pressuring those who have been traumatized to forget and by rejecting the testimonies of those who are forced by fate to remember. As individuals and as cultures, we impose arbitrary term limits on memory and on recovery from trauma: a century, say, for slavery, fifty years, perhaps, for the Holocaust, a decade or two for Vietnam, several months for mass rape or serial murder…</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
In <i>The Book of Laughter and Forgetting</i>, Milan Kundera writes that ‘The struggle against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.’ Whether the power is a fascist state or an internalized trauma, surviving the present requires the courage to confront the past, reexamine it, retell it, and thereby remaster its traumatic aspects… to the extent that bearing witness reestablishes the survivor’s identity, the empathetic other is essential to the continuation of a self.” </div>

is proud to announce its 23rd annual Practical Tools & Solutions for
Sustaining Family Farms Conference. This year and next the conference will be
in Mobile, Alabama - in part to help the regional economic recovery after the
oil spill, but also because it's a chance to go to the beach in the winter! -

reported they learned something they would use immediately, even higher numbers
say meeting so many folks doing so many great things around the South was a
highlight. With the high-rated practical sessions and pre-conference offerings
and the great networking opportunities, this event attracts over 1,200 farmers

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">“My husband and I cannot wait to attend the SAWG conference. We
are young farmers, XX is 28, I am 26 with a serious passion for providing our
family and our community with fresh, sustainable and organic produce. My
husband has been growing food on a small scale for a number of years. Last year
we began farming on a larger scale, growing enough to sell at local markets, to
a couple restaurants and a small CSA. Our goal is to own a small, family
farm where we provide our family and our community with good, whole foods. We
are self- taught farmers and we NEED to attend this conference!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">XX is the farm manager, head grower, market manager and our
“big thinker” rolled into one. He also works a full-time job, off the farm!!! We
need our farm to be profitable enough that he can quit his non-farming
job. When he is not working, XX has his nose in a book. His passion for
growing organic produce is boundless. This conference would be beneficial for
XX in countless ways. Specifically, he wants to learn how to extend the growing
season year-round. He wants to decrease crop failure by knowing more about
organic pest control. XX wants to establish a profitable and manageable
CSA to foster ties to our community. He's excited to learn about planning
vegetable production to keep his market stand bountiful and beautiful
year-round. He wants to learn about keeping livestock, specifically goats.
Above all, he wants to provide for our family by doing what he loves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">My job in this operation is to manage the business aspects. My
problem is, I have no idea what I'm doing! I was so excited to see that this
conference covers all aspects of agriculture, because I need help with
marketing, record keeping, budgeting and accounting. I would also like to learn
about farm to school programs, as it is important to us for our daughter to
have real, nutritious food in her school. I would love to establish a
garden at her future school and teach the children how to grow food. I am also
in charge of growing flowers, which is just about my favorite thing to do! I
can't wait to talk with others in the "Innovations with Cut Flowers"
exchange.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">We are planning to buy a small farm next year. The
"Young and Beginning Farmers" exchange sounds like the answer to our
prayers! This conference will literally change our lives! Trial and error has
worked okay for us so far, but we need to move forward in a big way. We need
the knowledge to make our dreams into reality. We need practical and
sustainable solutions to achieve our idealistic goals. We need to attend
the Southern SAWG conference!”</span> </div>
