ASSOCIATIVE ECONOMICS

摘要

So imagine, not the dismal images of agriculture that are hard to relate to, but an agriculture that is integrated. (One of the hardest things for people ... to realize is that this is their land, their food production and that they can participate init to whatever extent they would like.) Imagine a place where one can plant a "tree" to benefit many, a park in the best sense of the word. Imagine a place where one can become an experienced gardener, if one desires. Imagine an agricultural experiencethat can inspire young people to pursue an agricultural path, both because of the private rewards and because of the social and economic respect. Imagine providing for those with less in the community by allocating shares for that purpose. Imagine a place for the handicapped to be appreciated and integrated within the broader community. All of these imaginings and more exist now in various locales around the world and they lead to one primary point. Quality food. For there is more to food than its purity, taste and beauty. If you can imagine, then you can act. The examples are there.
