As modern life becomes increasingly hectic, financially inflated, and disconnected from nature, more and more of us are going back to our roots: agriculture, trades, villages. I envision a future in which hyperlocal communities can support themselves thanks to innovative systems designed to work better for them than for massive corporations. People, and the pseudo-villages in which we live, deserve ownership over our means of food production, water & energy harnessing, and security of livelihood. To that end, I’m focusing my vocational energy on projects that will bring about this future, So we can all feel less stressed, more secure, and more connected to one another, ourselves, and nature.
