The main goals of Relocalization are to increase community energy security, to strengthen local economies, and to dramatically improve environmental conditions and social equity. The Relocalization strategy developed in response to the environmental, social, political and economic impacts of global over-reliance on cheap energy. Our dependence on cheap non-renewable fossil fuel energy has produced climate change, the erosion of community, agricultural lands, wars for oil-rich land and the instability of the global economic system." Source: (Relocalize.net) This module is to be presented by one of the world's leading exponents and advocates of agrarian relocalisation in Mr. Joel Salatin. In this module Joel will challenge participants to design the pathways to relocalisation based on his own very successful model at Polyface Farm in Swoope, Virginia, and will also include techniques and directions from the emerging 'Transition Towns' movement. Joel is a realist and a master speaker and practitioner who truly walks his talk and so is beyond theory which really sums up the bottom line of our Carbon Farming Course: we are working with solutions we already know and practiced to work that we all need in the energy descent future...
