GETTING LANDED The Development of Yggdrasil Land Foundation

摘要

THE EARTH HAS A LANGUAGE all its own. It speaks in elemental increments of physical matter as it absorbs air and light The animal world is attuned to this language and shares the surface of the earth as part of its regenerative cycles. Then there is the human being and evolving human consciousness.The story of Yggdrasil, from which Yggdrasil Land Foundation drew its name, is part of the Norse myths called the Poetic Eddas. Yggdrasil is the world ash tree whose roots reach down to the center of the earth while its branches reach up into the heavens. Humans live in the middle world, on the land, while all sorts of characters, both godly and mischievous, are at work in the higher and lower worlds. This imagination is at the heart of Yggdrasil Land Foundation's purpose: to protect sustainable and biodynamic farmland, create land access for farmers, and cultivate agriculture-based regional economies.
