I think what they're getting at here is the concept of operating within systems bigger than any one individual enterprise. In my experience, a small #agroecological farm (particularly in the global south) is part of the community first and foremost, and is managed in ways that buck the burden of individuality. They simply don't thrive with individualistic values and attitudes. There's a level of cooperation and solidarity rarely seen in US-style #homesteads.
