The purpose of the present page is to familiarize you with a short definition of some of the terms we are using here: Some words we use may be less common, or are used in a specific specialized sense, and consequently, we highly encourage you to read this post thoroughly, so to avoid confusion or misconceptions.
[The present post is in the workings, and should be completed momentarily.]
CHINA PROJECT or CHINA STUDY: We do not believe in fads and opinions that are not based on facts. Our entire endeavor is based on the contribution of some of the greatest minds of the XXth Century, such as, but not limited to (in alphabetical order): Karl Bauer, Andre Birre, T. Colin Campbell, C. Louis Kervran, Maurice Maeterlinck, Jean Pain, Hans von Reichmann, Royal R. Rife, Viktor Schauberger, Rudolf Steiner, Andre Voisin, Otto Warburg, and more. Among these, PPr DDr T. Colin Campbell (the leader of the "China Project") and Otto Warburg have a special place, for reasons that will become obvious to you as you read this blog.
COOPERATIVE ENDEAVORS:
CO-OP GARDENING & AGRICULTURE:
CROP-SHARING:
CSA or "COMMUNITY-SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE":
CURRENCY: The existence of a local and impartially-managed Cooperative Currency is a key to fairness to all Stakeholders. (...)
DISTRIBUTION OF THE PRODUCE YOU GROW: See : "Share & Distribute".
ECONOMIC CRISIS: The current economic Crisis has numerous consequences when it comes to why people should be gardening...
EMULATE & REPLICATE:
ENVIRONMENTAL COLLAPSE:
IG-GARDEN: A local IG-GARDEN is an alliance formed by individuals, families, landowners, community groups, work contributors, etc, collectively known as STAKEHOLDERS. Anyone can start one or originate one -- no need to be a landlord or even a gardener!
LOCAVORISM:
ORGANIC & FUNCTIONAL FOODS:
PURPOSE: "The Purpose" with a capital P is what unites the people who created or use "The Topanga Model". (...)
REPLICATE: See "Emulate".
SHARE & DISTRIBUTE:
STAKEHOLDERS: The Topanga Model is all about how you too can form a local IG-GARDENS, or "Interest Group - Garden/ing", or participate to an existing one, and why you should do so. It is also about creating a conduit where such groups can cooperate with each other for their mutual information and benefits.
Such Interest Groups are formal or informal alliances formed by people known as "STAKEHOLDERS". Therefore, a local IG-GARDEN is an alliance formed by individuals, families, landowners, community groups, work contributors, etc, collectively known as STAKEHOLDERS. Anyone can start one or originate one -- no need to be a landlord or even a gardener!
TOPANGA MODEL: As the blurb for this blog says, "THE TOPANGA MODEL OF CO-OP GARDENING & AGRICULTURE -- A local IG-GARDEN is an alliance formed by groups of people known as "STAKEHOLDERS". The PURPOSE of such COOPERATIVE ENDEAVORS is to sustainably produce ORGANIC & FUNCTIONAL FOODS to SHARE & DISTRIBUTE. To work together as efficiently as possible, it's best to follow a model pre-addressing actual or potential issues, such as "THE TOPANGA MODEL". ENVIRONMENTAL COLLAPSE, HEALTH ISSUES & THE ECONOMIC CRISIS are reasons why this model should be widely REPLICATEd.
