you are right, and I hope you don't mind I cc our listmembers, this is EXACTLY what I have in mind with smart, organic, cooperative agriculture and food production,

it would be really really great if you could introduce this to our blog readers,

why not a series of 3 articles with our preferred projects?

And here's another link: http://nutrientdenseproject.com/.

This voluntary network of farmers, gardeners, orchardists, ranchers, agronomists, writers and researchers is working hard to re-write the rules for the way in which we understand food, the production thereof, and its consumption, all based on sound scientifically credible data that they gather and pay for themselves. The idea is being able to conclusively demonstrate (read: numbers) that soil health = plant health = nutrition (sounds obvious, but you'll be astounded as to the lengths that mainstream "scientists" will go to to denounce that simple correlation...I guess it's a matter of not biting the hand that feeds you).

Pure awesome-ness, as far as I'm concerned!

Something new for your P2P site and mailing list: http://milkwood.net/2011/08/22/regarding-the-lexicon-of-sustainability-project/ and http://www.lexiconofsustainability.com. Fascinating project already at more that 1,000 words/terms, all portrayed in photographic and minimal text to reach a HUGE audience for what looks to be free.

Thanks for the link reminder...I will take a look at it again, but I recall looking for urban farming, apiculture and seed-saving last time without success...will send some more thoughts as they come to me. Want some links to add to those pages too and intro paragraphs?

Yeah...FB, our resident spy for the US govt. is playing tricks, it seems. Adding you to the FB group page now too, so you can see all the stuff we've been up to :)

I could pop over to Chula, yes. Tell you what, give me a call when you get to BKK and we can sort it out then. 

Re. our FB page...it shouldn't be empty...try this link: http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=140808370801 (I think you're perhaps looking at some random page that FB created out of thin air...I also recently discovered this page and have no idea where it's from and why).

This is just a quick email to let you know that I'm back in BKK again, in case you're still keen to meet up.

All the best,

Our farm is Sisaket (sandwiched between Surin and Ubon Ratchathani in the NE), although much of our time is spent in BKK these days taking care of marketing, deliveries, etc. 

I'm actually out of the country at the moment on a work assignment until 17 August, but I'd be happy to meet up in BKK when I get back...give me a call on 18/19 August (0813475920) if you're keen and we can grab a coffee somewhere in town.

All the best,
Bryan

I agree completely...in many ways, we're too far along the path for a fundamental earth-shattering change to happen overnight; however, we're already seeing more and more businesses, groups, networks, people, etc. collaborating outside the profit margin sphere, and it's only a matter of time before this conglomeration of activity reaches a tipping point (i.e., when it becomes the new mainstream)...it's going to be interesting to see the clash between this interactive network going up against the current mainstream thinking en masse.

Thanks again for getting back to me though, and keep up the excellent P2P Foundation work!

All the best also from within Thailand,
Bryan

Hi Bryan, it's too long for us, but interesting, so I have excerpted from it for August 12, and people can then discover the original for more.

My take is that you can't totally uproot a society in one go, so RBE networks have to predate any more fundamental change ...

So you would have to create a network of phyles, i.e. community-based, mission-oriented enterprises, which network together through open book management, and can start to mutually coordinate an ever larger part of their exchanges in a new way ...
