Its meaning has nothing to do with healthy food, community, or
environment. By using the words "farmer" or "farming" we maintain and
strengthen a relationship paradigm incompatible with optimal wellness.
I recommend using words such as "grower" instead of farmer, and letting
others know how important this word-knowledge can be.
Can we re-cultivate a respect and appreciation for natural resources
with a stewardship rather than an ownership mentality, like many native
cultures? It's all about balance and timing, and I believe NOW is a good
time to rebalance our most basic cultural practices.
In good humus,
Akiva
