Community, Land-Base, Sustainable Agriculture


Another late posting and I apologize for it. Here are a few tidbits of light thoughts before bed time.

Community
Community (My definition, combining the meaning and spirit of official ones.) -  A group of living organisms and the environment around them, interacting in a way that is mutually supporting and connects them all.


Land-base
Land-base - An area of land and water that supports a community, or several communities, of living organisms.


Sustainable Agriculture
Most people can understand the words of sustainable agriculture, but do they really understand what the term means?

How is sustainable defined in this case? If you can get it and keep getting it from your land-base, then it’s sustainable. If not, or if it runs out because you have depleted it or made it unusable, then it is not sustainable. This is how all creatures exist on the planet


except people.
