Replacing growth with belonging economies

Last year we were invited to contribute a chapter to the forthcoming book, Food for Degrowth: Perspectives and Practices, to be published by Routledge later this year. Although, let's not count on anything like that occurring.

We called our chapter, 'Replacing growth with belonging economies: a neopeasant response'. We completed it in November.

Due to the times we're living we offer it here as a film. It's our most significant collaborative writing project since our book, The Art of Free Travel. (If you're a subscriber and reading this in your inbox, you won't see the below video, so here's a link to it).

  2. I have listened to this twice. It's beautiful and full of truth.

    My husband has recently lost his job due to Covid 19. It's a worry but we are using this time as a gift. A gift to be together with our children and home educate them together, start to establish vegetable gardens on our farm which we bought a little more then a year ago, to lean more deeply into our values of using whats on hand, upcycling and reusing materials whilst we finish fitting out the interior of our yurt. Him being home allows me to rest a little more with our 6 week old baby.

    We hope to use this time we have here to create something that once all of this is over, we can open our home to our community and invite them in too.
