About the author:
"As Indigenous scientist and author of #BraidingSweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from #IndigenousWisdom and the plant world to #reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, #interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, 'Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.' "

Kimmerer’s reminder lands softly but precisely: restoration is empty without relationship. What lasts is the reciprocity we build with place — the ongoing, living exchange that outlives any single intervention.
Have you ever met the three sisters? 🌽🫛🍉 I first saw them in Mexico, where traditional people have been using them since forever. Later I heard that people in Asia also used similar techniques Today I know modern farmers that are doing this with modern machinery ⚡️Would you try it? #regenerative #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture #agroecology #regenerativefarming #agroforestry #farming #tuin #permaculture #voedselbos #nature #climate #health #gutmicrobiome #guthealth #foodforest

"The story of our relationship to the earth is written more truthfully on the land than on the page. It lasts there. The land remembers what we said and what we did."
Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass
Braiding Sweetgrass is a powerful exploration of how mankind used to work with nature, how far we’ve strayed from that path, and how we still may be able to get back.
