The morphing climate, ongoing culture of land dispossession, continuing global pandemic, shifting and intensifying weather patterns, and migrations of all species—spurned by political and environmental upheaval—are considered within. There is adaptability in each bloom of algae; tiny particles of inspiration can enliven lives and farm systems; the natural currents and connected sentience of the living earth moves genetic material. Dynamic flux and rapid change remain possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power of the forces—the river, the wind—are summoned and given thanks, like our ancestors did. Here, we tune to the potential of the commons. Contributors from around the Earth reflect on natural systems, logistics of change, localization, resource sharing, and preservation; we eye new experiments in planting, seed breeding, and composting. The past is contextualized by the present, informing our ideas for the future. Climate grief and cognitive dissonance are examined among imaginations of urban food systems and equitable access. Readers are invited to envision tweaks to the carbon cycle; to see intercropping as a life practice and sharing dinner as an embodied preservation of cultural foodways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compendium of ideas, strategies, and arguments honors the almanac tradition in featuring archival and contemporary words and artwork. Photos, maps, prints, drawings, and gems from the archives rest—and agitate—among personal essays, reports from the field, poetry, and interviews. Join us in exploring resilience, responsiveness, adaptation, and accommodation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured contributors include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFallen Fruit Collective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Farwoods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuturefarmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuzanne Husky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOliver Kellhammer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNance Klehm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Land Institute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGary Snyder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVincent Medina and Louis Trevino of Cafe Ohlone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaia Wikler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40827449147489,"sku":"9780986320545","price":20.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28237255.jpg?v=1722485251","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780986320545-new-farmers-almanac-volume-vi","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
