“How do you create resilient lands, economies, and communities?” “How does what
you wear represent what you stand for?” “How might different compost microbial
communities affect soil health and productivity?” “How do we connect to each other:
as one person to another, as a people to society, and as a society to various cultures?”
“Can the soil microbiome be engineered?” “What if lenders had to consider soil as a
depreciating asset?” “Where do we start, down to the microbe, to the soil, to get to
that food sovereignty?” “Is resiliency a natural capacity or a learned behavior?” “How
can our economic relationships mirror the transformative give-and-take relationships
that happen every day in our ecological systems?” “How do we fix what a fire burned
up?”
These questions comprise a mere handful of those posed by the writers, ranchers,
farmers, and scientists gathered in the forty-fourth issue of Resilience.
