Surviving Ourselves: The Evolution of Community, Education, and Agriculture in the 21st Century

Synopsis

Surviving Ourselves is about the vital relationship between Mother Nature and the Human Spirit. Herm reveals their parallel behavior-how one affects the other in the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our daily lives. In much of our human activity, including our intensive agricultural systems and many ill-conceived business and political policies, this relationship has become fragmented, affecting the attitudes and expectations of all involved. Through his own personal experiences and poetry, as well as the inspiring stories of others, this fourth-generation farmer relays a message of revolution and evolution that starts within ourselves. The resulting transition will help humanity adopt a more sustainable paradigm of existence by embracing Nature rather than inhibiting the natural flow of life on this planet.
