Well…2025 was the year the masks came off the old system: nobody is pretending it’s there to help us, or that those who have stolen the reins of power have any intention of ‘saving the planet’, still less resolving the horrors of inequity or anything at all but feeding the ravenously hungry ghost of capitalism.

So how do we bring power to those with wisdom and wisdom to those with power? If we have the destructive capacity of gods, how do we find in ourselves the compassion, prudence and wisdom of gods? What does it take to lay the foundations for emergence into a new system – one that we’d be proud to leave to the generations that come after us?

In this solo episode, Manda Scott, host of the Accidental Gods podcast, reflects on the year just gone and looks ahead to the one that’s coming and lays out ideas for how we can be the change we need to see in the world. Join us for New Year’s eve and let’s find ways we can step into 2026 with grace, courage, bringing the best of ourselves in service to life.

Thoughts from the Edge: Navigating the turbulent seas of the incoming year with grace and courage

In this solo episode, Manda Scott reflects on the year just gone and looks ahead to the one that's coming and lays out ideas for how we can be the change we need to see in the world. Join us for New Year's eve and let's find ways we can step into 2026 with grace, courage, bringing the best of ourselves in service to life.

What If the Economy Was Modeled After Ecology? | Atmos

By treating economies as living systems, we can build financial frameworks that regenerate rather than exploit.

What Freedoms are we losing? What do we really mean by sovereignty? What happens when we click „I agree“ and give up control of our systems? 🫣

One Automated Range Coop (ARC). | Cody Menefee

One Automated Range Coop (ARC). Nearly $650K/year in DTC revenue — even with a 4-month pasture rest cycle. Here's how that breaks down: 6,000 birds per grow cycle 8-week grow cycle ~4.3 grow cycles/year (with 4 months of pasture rest) = ~25,800 birds/year @ $25/bird DTC → $645,000 annual revenue Automation at this scale isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about regenerating land while building a profitable, resilient food system. Love seeing this, Paul. You’re laying the foundation for the future of poultry. Now, when are you going to finally sell them? 😅 | 18 comments on LinkedIn

Grow rice by doing nothing. | Robert Reed

Grow rice by doing nothing. In 1947, a Japanese scientist walked back to his family’s rice paddies and made a blunt claim: I can feed us all without ploughing, weeding or spraying. His neighbours laughed, and his scientific peers said the idea was only suitable as a fantasy for a mystic. But Masanobu Fukuoka had studied plant diseases for the customs service. During a night-long epiphany following a bout of pneumonia, he was left convinced that 'modern' farming was harming the soil. He quit the lab, went home to Shikoku and began removing tools and products instead of adding them. His rules were clear: no tillage, no fertiliser, no herbicide, no pesticide. Seed was mixed with clay to form little pellets, then broadcast over standing stubble; straw from the last crop became the only mulch. Ducks ate pests, and weeds were sliced just once a season. He called it “do-nothing farming”. Local officials dismissed the method as masquerading as Zen at best, and lazy at worst. Yet the 'lazy' fields continued to produce a harvest and filled his barns. After twenty-five years, the paddies still yielded about 1,300 lb of rice per quarter-acre—on par with the best ‘modernised’ farms in the area. Fukuoka wrote the results down in a slim book, The One-Straw Revolution (1978 in English). It sold over a million copies and turned him into an unwilling guru for the nascent organic farming movement. Today, his legacy is evident in Indian zero-budget natural farming, African agroforestry projects, and no-till market gardens spanning from Iowa to Inverness. The core lesson remains the same: don’t disturb the soil and let nature do the work. Fukuoka kept the philosophy simple: “The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.” Eight decades on, and we’re still fighting the good fight by advocating natural farming, standing on the shoulders of pioneers like Fukuoka. | 14 comments on LinkedIn

I just read a headline that Macron (France) and and Merz (Germany) aim to ratify quickly the free trade agreement Mercosur (EU-South America).

Yes, the Mercosur many environmentalists, unions and smallscale farmers (e.g. @ViaCampesinaEU ) protested against.

With all the accelerated developments around Trump's unstable tariff announcements, we easily forget that free trade is not automatically good thing.

It's good for the large companies, the ones that can relocate or source their goods from the cheapest corner of the world. Such as the Brazilian companies in the hands of Bolsonaro-supporters, that happily destroy the Amazonas to grow cheap GMO soy for Spanish pig farmers that pollute the groundwater with nitrates and have immigrant workers under extremely bad conditions cutting meat to be exported to China.

Free trade does not solve, and even often aggravates, the problems of workers or the environment. Until a few months ago (specifically: until a former Blackrock executive and neoliberal-conservative ideologist was elected German chancellor), the EU was even considering to establish a CO2-tariff, so that imported goods would have to price in their emissions, in order to not give them an unfair advantage against the companies producing with stricter environmental policies inside the EU[*]. Another very important regulation about human rights in the supply chain got also decaffeinated.

Now, this "the world united against Trump's tariffs"-dynamics will be used by neoliberal assholes to push their agenda of "removing barriers to free trade".

Be careful with whom you associate, these days.

* yes, simultaneously, tariffs and regulations are used by the EU to maintain neocolonial advantages and to continue the exploitation of the Global South. With these power structures in place, *every* situation will be used to favour some and hurting many.

Haha, wollta grade schreiben "auf dem Papier".

Aber ganz so einfach ist es ja nicht. zB ist unsere Erde kein abgeschlossenes System. Energie kommt von aussen dazu.
Und viele Ressourcen sind in der Praxis endlos (nicht-kapitalistische industrielle Verschwendungsgesellschaft mal vorausgesetzt).

Ausserdem kann zB Handwerk ja schon Dinge herstellen, die danach einen grösseren Wert für die Menschen haben. Also sozusagen "Wohlstandsakkumulation durch akkumulierte Arbeit".

Bis jetzt basierte unser Wirtschaftssystem ja lange Zeit darauf, dass natürliche ressourcen sozusagen erst einen Wert erhalten wenn sie "abgebaut" sind. Deshalb spürt der Markt das mit dem geschlossenen System nicht.
Und inzwischen ist ja eh alles total enthemmt und die Bitcoins vermehren sich von selbst und die Banken produzieren Geld durch Zinsen trululu🤔

Aber vielleicht haben die lieben Menschen der @PluraleOekonomikDresden da gute gedanken dazu?

(Link zum Netzwerk: https://www.plurale-oekonomik.de/)

Ansonsten kann ich auch wirklich das Buch "Regenerative Economics" empfehlen (online einsehbar)

https://www.regenerativeeconomics.earth/

Es wird derzeit noch weitergeschrieben, die ersten Kapitel sind allerdings schon verfügbar :)
