Local organic farmer and Land Stewardship Project member Josh Reinitz recently attended a delegation to Oaxaca, Mexico to study sustainable farming systems and vital rural communities. Oaxaca is a unique blend of traditional lifestyle and farming, and sustainable green solutions to meet the challenges we face for the future. Learn about traditional and innovative farming techniques and community life in 500+ year old villages. Joshvisited with organizations working to teach skills and provide technical support to rural communities so they are able to preserve traditional skills while using selective modern technology in an intentional way to meet their community’s needs. What can we do in rural MN to uplift traditional skills that are still relevant today, and bring back an ethic of hands-on learning, apprenticeships, and shared community purpose.
