To me, kinship agroecology is tending the living web of relations as kin, with care and respect, for the flourishing of all living things, present and future. It is where the cultivated meets the wild, another of the fertile ecotones I am drawn to.
I am currently studying biodynamic agriculture at BINGN (2025–2027) for its practical agroecological methods and its emphasis on soil, biodiversity, and farm-as-organism thinking. I am new to anthroposophy and not an anthroposophist myself, but I find some of its frameworks useful.
Day to day it looks like apprenticing on farms, researching kinship agroecology, and exploring the place where philosophy, ecology, ethics and art meet.
In this study and beyond, I hope to create collaborations that move food systems toward agroecology, food sovereignty, soil health, biodiversity, animal welfare, and whole-food plant proteins.
After years as a slowmad, I am looking for a farm community to call home.
