We can't learn reinhabitory foodsheds without co-evolutionarily working them. Very curious how we're best going to educate millions to what's Real. Pedagogical transformation, for sure. Here, as an aside, a Catholic vision for the faithful.

Peter Maurin, the founder of the
Catholic Worker Movement, used to
dwell lovingly on the thought of what he
called an agronomic university, where
the scholars could become workers,
and workers scholars; where a
philosophy of work would be restored
to people; where they would regain a
sacramental attitude toward life,
property, and people in relation to them.
For a time we could not understand
what he was talking about.

Irish Scholars

By Peter Maurin

When the Irish scholars
decided to lay the foundations
of medieval Europe,
they established:
Centers of Thought
in all the cities of Europe
as far as Constantinople,
where people
could look for thought
so they could have light.
Houses of Hospitality
where Christian charity
was exemplified.
Agricultural Centers
where they combined
(a) Cult-
that is to say Liturgy
(b) with Culture—
that is to say Literature
(c) with Cultivatiion-
that is to say Agriculture.

@MichaelTG09 A positive trend. Peter Maurin: "The future of the Church is on the land...The Irish Scholars established agricultural centers all over Europe. What was done by Irish missionaries after the fall of the Roman Empire can be done today during and after the fall of modern empires."
