One CommunityLive Interview: Founding and Forwarding a Global Food Sustainability Movement
One Community is creating transformational global change through self-replicating teacher/demonstration hubs. Our model includes open source and free-shared plans for food, energy, housing, education, Highest Good business, social architecture, and regenerative and stewardship practices. Of these, food is foundational and a specific focus through our open source botanical garden model and commitment to promoting and spreading food diversity by demonstrating that it is possible to grow and enjoy a level of food quality and diversity that FAR exceeds what people can buy in the grocery store. As we do this we intend to evolve the current food paradigm in a way that will help create global food sustainability and eventually benefit every person on the planet.
The following is a live interview on the Rick Hidalgo Show with Michael Martin (One Community’s botanist) and Jae Sabol (One Community’s Executive Director) discussing the details of creating sustainable food infrastructure capable of year-round growing the global diversity of food in almost anywhere in the world.
