PHILADELPHIA, PA, April 1, 2009 --/WORLD-WIRE/-- To help channel the energy surrounding Earth Day into constructive activity, SPIN-Farming® is offering a free download that helps show people how they can take food production into their own hands. “Lettuce Rethink How To Farm”, a 15-minute do-it-yourself Power Point presentation, can be accessed by clicking “Spread the Word” at the SPIN-Farming website-- http://www.spinfarming.com/spreadtheword.
According to Wally Satzewich, the developer of SPIN-Farming, Earth Day brings people together to think things through again, make certain re-appropriations and create a new ideal. “Part of this new ideal is to re-engineer the current food production system to one that is more locally oriented, and therefore easier to control and monitor, and which contributes positively to the environment and produces fresh, healthy food. This do-it-yourself presentation helps like-minded people begin to champion, conceptualize and implement local food systems.”
Roxanne Christensen, co-author of the SPIN-Farming online learning series, says, “The issue at stake for those who want to create a sustainable world is: What is left when living is less about adding new products to the stack of stuff we already have? Part of the answer involves redefining status, luxury and success, and then mass marketing that new ideal.” According to Christensen, SPIN-Farming is serving as a platform for creating a value system predicated not on products, but on practices. “This free presentation shows how SPIN-Farming can inspire a more sustainable way of life that is not based on turning stuff into green stuff, but that is about changing people’s thinking, habits and behaviors.”
The Power Point highlights sub-acre SPIN farms in three different contexts. Brick City Urban Farms is an inner city farm in Newark, NJ; Community Roots is in a subdivision in Boulder, CO; and City Garden Farms spans multiple backyards in Portland, OR.
