The Strategic Wisdom of Agroecology

by Steven McFadden As cloaks of summer heat settled upon most of North America, and storms raged severe in sky, land, and sea, I happened upon a 2020 academic review of Deep Agroecology. I’d missed the review at the time, as I was reckoning that year with the passing of generational elders, and also a household move from Nebraska back to the mountains of the Southwest. But I’m happy to have come…

Linking logically to the Age of Flowers

We’re in transition, that’s for sure. By that I mean the rate of change around the globe–climate, business, education, technology, etc.–is cracking along at a wildfire pace: in our faces. We’re moving decidedly toward some new state of life. To add to the wealth of speculation about what some qualities of that new state may be, I offer yet another descriptor–one with mythic unifying attributes:…

2024: The Year of Agroecology (again)

by Steven McFadden – January 1, 2024 For the sake of the Earth, the people, the animals, the plants, and for the sake of my own need to advocate, I raise my blog voice and declare 2024 to be The Year of Agroecology.

2022: The Year of Agroecology

2022: The Year of Agroecology

By virtue of the authority vested in me (and everyone else) on account of being someone with something to say, I hereby declare 2022 to be The Year of Agroecology. I hope the other 7.8 billion human beings on the earth are listening—not to me necessarily, but rather to the swelling chorus of farmers and food workers around the world who are leading the way forward, building a foundation for a…

Code Red for Humanity, Code Green for Earth

Code Red for Humanity, Code Green for Earth

by Steven McFadden My primary work throughout the rest of 2021 is dedicated to researching and writing the biography of a man who was a kind, knowledgeable, and skillful leader for the Navajo people, as well as for people around the world.
