Millennial Agrarians Rise to Meet ‘Grim Vision’

[SpiralHawk]

"An authoritative new study sets out a grim vision of what lies ahead: climate change will cause shortages and violence, provoking much of civilization to collapse...

"...Reading the stark forecasts from this report put me in mind – thankfully – of someone I knew and admired, the late Leon Secatero of the Canoncito Band of Navajo, To’Hajiilee, New Mexico. Whenever Leon would hear pronouncements of inevitable doom, he would acknowledge the potential, then respond calmly...

"...There is a growing cohort of people who are actively asking these questions, and responding creatively. I have come to think of them as the Millennial Agrarians, and they got a nod of acknowledgement this week from USA Today."

1. Amen brother...

We ride on the shoulders of those who see and do, not those who see and hide.

I've seen remarkable people doing remarkable things in local agriculture.

2. Awesome article

Thank you for posting!!

Leon Secatero sounds like he was a wise man. He recommends looking forward to the next 500 years and planning accordingly. I have often heard that what we do today can effect the next seven generations......I put that at closer to 200 years. He is right......we need to look far into the future and decide the consequences of today's actions.

Millennial Agrarians......I like that term. I've never heard ir before. It has a positive connotation and I think very fitting.

recommended!!
