@Bert_Carr @jeffreyatucker @brownstoneinst The polis is as bound to natural law as the forest. Democracy is not built upon agrarianism as much as inseparable from it. No constitution can save a people estranged from right relationship with the daily referendum sovereignty roots in. Democracy is inhabited through eating.

Copy of tweet here: 3/ A defining cultural challenge is how to learn/teach the democratic foundations of robust food systems and, in the same breath, resilient food systems as robust foundations of democracy. Wendell Berry: "At some point these issues catch up to you." We can have agriculture only within nature, and culture only within agriculture, Wendell Berry says: “At certain points these systems have to conform with one another or destroy one another...You cannot save the land apart from the people, or the people apart from the land.”
3/ Upper Room, field edge—the same spirit. A devout Islamo-Christo-Buddhist ag team anchoring key @agrariansharing genepools isn't metaphor but symbiotic planetary reality—relational metabolism, deep incarnation in work clothes. "The Messiah is our universal hero of integration."

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? t.co/DxpKZq7tCi

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’. t.co/EJZJaBMG0O
