Local Currency

Is now the time to initaiate change?

Shall we implement a seperate form of trading to get the ball rolling?

 

Here is what has been thought of;

Identifying underutilised land

Transitioning it towards organics/permaculture/biodynamics

Growing copius amounts of fresh, local, healthy, rich, strong, organic, nourishing, powerful food
