@NoemaMag @Hieraaetus 2/ A key recognition? Functional human ecology and functional agro-ecology constitute a unicity. Fine, but how does the co-evolving complex of a society synergistically embedded in that society’s sustaining ecosystem emerge from the dense complexity of relocalization for real?

Tweet: @HaddenTurner and @kouya That's right, Eddie. Sanguin: “Diversity needs to be understood as a primary expression of beauty, and also, therefore, as one of the primary values of Spirit in an evolutionary universe." Where I live, grassroots 'applied biodiversity' projects take a lead shaping Creation care. Subtweet: Yes. But where and how is this work actually getting done? Locally, for starters. A foundational nexus in this regard? Community collaborations distributing extensive arrays of agro-biodiversity advancing the regeneration of localized food systems or ‘reinhabitory foodsheds’. What's 'eco-social physicianship'? Well, come join the grassroots, pan-bioregional, 'applied agro-biodiversity' initiative already a proven PNW cornerstone of community-based regenerative-design. Where? @agrariansharing's 7th propagation fair of 2023, in Eugene, OR, this Saturday. Tweet: Telling, the reinhabitory foodshed movement and New Creation theology providentially stumbling upon a common 'Adamaic' tongue. An example? Regenerative designers will describe the 'resurrective ontology' of 'applied diversity' in dynamic practice and effect as 'deep incarnation'. Nick Routledge For regenerative designers, diversity serves as the source and basis of life, harmony, balance, bounty, resilience, companionship and unity in nature and society. #AgrarianSharingNetwork youtu.be/9BHwGyUNNiU “The web of life is a food web. Food is life. Increasing diversity is the ecological principle for increasing health, resilience and abundance in living systems. Biodiversity and cultural diversity need each other for the regeneration of nature and culture.” - Vandana Shiva []

Open original document@Plough 4/ The basic building-block of 'eco-social physicanship'? Put simply, 'socially-applied agro-biodiversity': the mutual adaptation, co-evolution, companionship and synergy defining weddings of human and more-than-human diversity in 'rootsy' bio-cultural combinations that 'click'.

Copy of tweet here: 1/ In the US, we place a necessary emphasis on 'remaking' as distinct from 'conserving' bio-cultural integrity. @agrariansharing, a little-noticed, PNW-based, 'applied biodiversity' initiative, has been at the work - the only place it works: at the grassroots level - for decades. 2/ Meanwhile, Agrarian Sharing Network 'propagation fairs' draw deeply upon a traditional form - the 'potlatch' - an indigenous, PNW, bio-cultural model of community gathering in which 'stewardship means' is deliberately interwoven into the living fabric of convivial experience. 1/ Here in the States, we're not so focused upon preserving intact eco-cultures - sadly, the historical co-existence between people and biodiversity is largely broken - as much as we are in *re-establishing* biocultural syntheses which 'click'. We do have some strengths, though.
