If we really seriously look
at what is the crisis we are facing
whether it's climate change
or it's unemployment
or it's the crisis of food where you can't be securing your food at all
the solution to so much of this
comes from people being on the land as conservers
of the seed
of the soil
of the water
Food production is a by-product
of ecosystem conservation
and unless we have people
back on the land
we will not be able to protect the resources of this planet
we will not be able to respond to climate change
cities are the worst guzzlers of energies
they're highly unstable units in periods of vulnerability
rural areas is where we must create the cushions
to deal with the new crises humanity faces
and putting people back on the land and defending those who are on the land
are the two most important projects for our time.
