Activating Local Food Economies

Most food policy is written in offices. But real food systems live on farms. In this video from my Food Policy Series, I explore why meaningful food systems transformation must begin by listening to small farmers, bioregional food cultures, and local food economies. Standing on a small farm in Italy, this conversation reflects on a simple truth: much of the public investment in food systems still flows toward documents, strategies and consultation processes, while the lived knowledge of farmers and regional food systems remains under-recognised.

If we want resilient food systems, we must begin to rebalance this, amplifying the voices, practices and ecological knowledge that already sustain communities. This perspective informs my work through Living Earth College and the course: Activating Local Food Systems https://livingearthcollege.org/enrolment-courses/activating-food-systems

In the course we explore how practical initiatives: food hubs, seed libraries, compost systems and local distribution networks, can generate the living knowledge needed to inform better food policy. Food policy should not only be written about life. It should be created with life. food policy local food systems regenerative agriculture small farmers community food systems bioregional food systems food system transformation foundational economics regenerative food policy local food economies

Creating Lived Outcomes for Local Food Systems

This video presents a practical call to strengthen local and regional food systems as a foundation for resilience, public value, and territorial regeneration.

It argues that the real challenge is no longer a lack of ideas, but the gap between policy ambition and implementation on the ground. By supporting place-based food economies, collaborative governance, and community-scale activation, institutions can help translate food security, sustainability, and social cohesion goals into lived outcomes.

How Communities Can Activate Local Food Systems A Free Online Seminar from Living Earth College

A Free Online Seminar from Living Earth College

Across many regions of the world people sense that something in our food systems is not working as it should.

Farmers are working harder for smaller margins. Communities often feel disconnected from the land that feeds them. Infrastructure designed for large-scale systems can make it difficult for smaller producers to reach local markets. At the same time many people are searching for practical ways to strengthen food security, regional economies and community wellbeing.

Yet within these challenges there are also opportunities.

When we begin to look closely at food systems we see that they are not simply supply chains. They are living systems shaped by relationships between soil, farms, infrastructure, community economies and policy.

A personal invitation

Over many years I have worked with farmers, communities, and local governments exploring how stronger local food systems might emerge. Through initiatives such as the Docklands Food Garden, the Huon Valley Food Hub, the Peach & Pear Food Box, and the Shepparton Food Hub, I saw both the potential of community food initiatives and the structural barriers that often prevent them from flourishing.

My doctoral research reflected on these experiences and asked a simple question:

What conditions allow local food systems to truly thrive?

Living Earth College was created to share these insights and support people working to strengthen food systems in their own regions. If you feel called to participate in this work, I warmly invite you to join the first cohort.

Strengthening food systems therefore requires more than a single solution. It requires the ability to understand how these elements interact within a particular place.

Over the past decade this work has been explored through the Con Viv approach, a living systems design process developed through practical work across farms, community food initiatives and regional policy.

The approach begins with careful observation of land, soil and local conditions. From there it explores how food systems can be strengthened through community enterprise, regional infrastructure and supportive policy frameworks.

This work has led to the development of Living Earth College, an educational initiative exploring practical pathways for activating local food systems.

To introduce this work, Living Earth College is hosting a free online seminar exploring how communities can begin strengthening food systems within their own regions.

Free Seminar

Activating Local Food Systems

In this session we will explore:

• why many food systems struggle to support both farmers and communities
• how local food networks can strengthen regional economies
• the role of infrastructure such as food hubs and distribution systems
• how community initiatives and policy can work together
• practical examples of food system activation

The seminar will also introduce the Activating Local Food Systems program from Living Earth College, a seven-week international course exploring these themes in greater depth.

Who This Seminar Is For

This conversation may be valuable for:

• farmers and land stewards
• community food organisers
• designers and planners
• educators and students
• policy practitioners
• anyone interested in strengthening food systems where they live

Join the Conversation

Strengthening food systems is not only about agriculture. It is about how land, community, economy and governance can work together to support thriving regional life.

If you are interested in exploring how this work might apply in your own region, you are warmly invited to join the seminar.

Why We Created the Activating Food Systems Course

The Living Earth College Activating Food Systems course grew from many years of working with farmers, communities, designers and policy makers who all sensed the same problem: modern food systems have become disconnected from soil knowledge, community participation and practical decision making.

Most courses talk about food systems. This one helps you design one. In the Activating Food Systems course you will develop a practical project to strengthen a local food system in your own region.

On Magical Farm Tasmania I asked a simple question: what would it look like if communities could actively shape their own food systems again?

Photography by Ness Vanderburgh

Over twenty years my explorations in designing thriving food systems expanded across Tasmania and internationally through design research, teaching and collaboration. The result is this course.

Activating Food Systems is designed to bring together practical knowledge of soil health, regional food networks, community enterprise, economics and policy design.

Participants explore how small scale farms, local markets, schools, councils and citizens can work together to regenerate food systems from the ground up.

The course is not abstract theory, it is grounded in lived practice, observation and collaborative design. Each participant develops their own project idea supported by dialogue, examples and shared learning.

My hope is that people around the world who care about food, land and community will find this work and feel encouraged to act where they live.

If you are searching for practical ways to strengthen your local food system, this course is an invitation to begin together now. With courage, clarity and care for soil, people, place everywhere.

We Are All Designers of Food System

Design is often treated as a professional discipline practised in studios, universities, and consultancies. It shapes products, services, environments, and policy. But design did not begin with institutions. Tools were designed. Language was designed. Markets were designed. The supermarket, the local market, and the digital platform are all designed systems that shape how money moves, how food travels, and how power is distributed.

In this sense, we are all already designers. The deeper question is whether we understand the living systems within which we are designing.

Food systems are not only logistical or agricultural. They are ecological, cultural, economic, and perceptual. What we eat, where we buy, how we organise daily life, and how we participate in community all shape the wider social and ecological organism. When value moves through distant, centralised supply chains, local landscapes and communities weaken. When it circulates through small farms, local markets, and regional food economies, resilience grows.

Food is also formative. Healthy land produces healthy food. Healthy food supports healthy bodies. Healthy bodies enable clearer perception. Clearer perception supports wiser design. This loop connects soil, culture, economy, and civic life.

This understanding sits at the heart of Con Viv, or convivial living systems design. It is also the foundation of the Activating Food Systems Course at Living Earth College.

The course explores how local food systems can be strengthened from soil to society. It brings together living systems design, regenerative practice, place-based observation, community-scale food infrastructure, and policy thinking. It is designed for farmers, designers, educators, policymakers, and community leaders who want practical ways to participate in food system renewal.

Living Earth College is emerging as a translocal education platform for life systems literacy. Its work asks a simple but urgent question: what would change if soil, food, local economies, and civic participation were treated as foundational to education and design?

We are already shaping the future through our habits, choices, and structures. The invitation of the Activating Food Systems Course is to do so more consciously, and in service of living systems.

Ode to the Women Who Work With Life

You arrive without fanfare, with sleeves rolled and eyes awake,
carrying the science of attention into soil and society,
so the farm becomes more than production,
it becomes a place where human hearts can learn their rhythm.

Maye Emily Bruce, you remind me the flower needs no advertisement,
only the courage to be seen as itself,
the intelligence of nature held in plain language,
a kindness that does not dilute innate genius.

Lady Eve Balfour, you press your ear to the ground and say: listen,
the earth is not a resource, it is a relation,
and every economy begins where humus is made.

Elisabeth Vreede, mathematician and astronomer, who was star-wise and exact,
you keep the heavens honest,
so our thinking can be clear without becoming cold,
and our wonder can be lawful without becoming abstract.

Ita Wegman, healer of thresholds,
you show that medicine is also social courage,
a practice of meeting another human being without fear,
and letting the future enter through care.

Julia Yelton, mentor of my hands and seasons,
you taught me to trust the rhythm, the soil, atmosphere and everything in between; to do the next right task,
and to let the land educate me without rushing its answers.

And Sophia Montefiore, with colour and form,
you make the planets speak in the language of plants,
so biodynamics can be embodied,
so the cosmic becomes real,
so the farmer can remember the sky without leaving the compost heap.

In the Goetheanum, Dornach, the home of holism,
I sat beside Sophia and felt the lineage breathing,
not as hierarchy, but as companionship, reflection, brilliance and joy:
women who keep the impulse warm, workable, and free.

Here is my vow, Dr Demeter’s devotional practice:
to steep yarrow, to wait, to speak with care,
to weave boundaries that do not harden,
to cultivate warmth as a field, not a demand.

May our islands, valleys, schools, clinics, gardens, committees,
become cultural farms of the future,
where healing, education, agriculture, and social art
meet each other in truthfulness,
and the world remembers: we are ‘with life’.

With Life ‘Con Viv’ and Love,

Dr Demeter

You Never Farm Alone: Collaboration from Free Will, and the cultural farms of the future

Feature on the Agriculture Conference in Dornach, Switzerland at the Goetheanum, 4–7 February 2026.

We gathered at the Goetheanum for the agriculture conference titled You Never Farm Alone, and I left feeling that what was being cultivated was not only agriculture, but relationship and a praxis of courage. Approximately 750 people came from every continent, yet the gathering felt intimate. Each morning began with Michael Letters readings, conversation, and a strengthening eurythmy practice with Stefan Hasler and Eduardo Rincon. In anthroposophic terms it felt like the “I” learning to stand inside community, without losing warmth. On one of the last evenings we all joyfully danced together in the large hall, which was such a delight.

I attended the Cultural Farms of the Future workshop three days in a row throughout the conference. Its question was simple, courageous, and ambitious: how can farmland become a place where living communities are formed, where healing, education, agriculture and the social arts are integrated as one cultural organism. We spoke of farms as places that can hold learning, care, research, celebration, and good work, and we returned repeatedly to economics: how might we organise farm activity so value circulates rather than extracts, so farms can host people without burning out farmers, and so the social life around the farm becomes an organ of the farm itself.

The same group who ran the Cultural Farms workshop also led a panel titled Our Work with Life: Working with Life in Agriculture, Medicine, and Pedagogy, weaving integrative medicine, education, and biodynamic agriculture into one conversation. Berni Courts (Ruskin Mill Trust) spoke of education through meaningful work. Dr Martin-Günther Sterner brought the human organism into view, linking digestion, rhythm and immunity with social environment. Tobias Hartkemeyer (CSA farm Pente) spoke of co-responsibility and associative forms that make community agriculture real. Ruben Segers and Antoinette Simonart (De Kollebloem, Belgium) offered a living example of a farm as a cultural place where production and pedagogy belong together. The thread running through the conversation was practical reverence: life can be enriched through the farm organism.

Ueli Hurter, in his lecture on “Free Will,” named Collaboration from Free Will as a practical social principle: not compliance, not consensus-by-fatigue, but creating the conditions for people to choose the work. Then, when the weather turns (or a moment or situation tightens), cooperation comes as a willing and shared response rather than something forced. He drew on Kepler’s music of the spheres as an imagination for lawful relationship, and the evening concluded with the Turning of Time stanza from Steiner’s Foundation Stone Meditation: a Michaelic request to meet the present with clearer thinking and warmer hearts. In essence, technique alone won’t meet the future of agriculture; what is required is a new warmth and truthfulness between people, and this takes Michaelic courage to discover.

After Ueli’s lecture I found myself in conversation with Eduardo Rincon and turning to a small, almost disarmingly simple gesture inspired by Ueli’s lecture: to make a cup of yarrow tea! I was seeking to give his talk a Keplerian imagination through this simple idea. This Keplerian imagination is a way of perceiving that seeks the lawful relationships at work within both the cosmos and the commonplace, and trusts that these relationships can be consciously participated in, somewhere tangible to rest.

If harmony is experienced as right relationship, then we require simple, repeatable gestures that tune the human being toward listening. Yarrow offers such a gesture. As a plant long associated with boundaries, mediation, and weaving, it works quietly with the organs of the body. Likewise as we know it is quite an integrator in bio-dynamics practices for the soil and the overall farm organism. In the human experience, by steeping, waiting, and drinking, one practises a different tempo, less reaction, more receptivity; less assertion, more attunement.

In the old language of correspondences, yarrow carries a Venus quality: the principle of relationship, balance, and heart-centred communication. Through such a plant, the planetary is not abstract but intimate. The cosmos is not elsewhere; it is participating. And so a simple cup of tea becomes a way of inviting lawful order, warmth, coherence, reciprocity, into the shared field of human conversation and experiences. In this way, plants are not passive background to human development, but living partners in our co-evolution, quietly shaping the conditions through which we refine perception, relationship, and consciousness.

Insight and reflection questions for readers in Tasmania and beyond:
Where in your region could a cultural farm take root, not as a venue, but as a living place for learning and healing?
What would it mean to design a farm gate as a civic doorway?
Which institutions could become allies, and which habits of control would need to soften into trust?
What would you change if your measure of success included soil, children, elders, microbes, and local stories?
Who are your collaborators from free will, and how will you care for those relationships when pressure rises?

Next year’s conference will focus on the biome and nutrition, and I return to our island with renewed impulse: to weave festive agriculture and convivial farming into life, so more people can access biodynamics and culture can be reinvigorated through land connection, one honest relationship at a time. May this impulse become practice in homes, councils, and markets.

We Are All Designers: The Case for Life Systems Literacy

Design has long been understood as a professional discipline, practised within studios, universities and consultancies, shaping products, services, policies and environments. The design professions matter deeply. They influence how economies function, how cities are structured, how resources move.

Yet design did not begin with institutions. The first tools were designed, as too was language. Markets and governance systems were designed. The supermarket, the local market, the digital platform, each of these is a designed architecture of economic flow. These structures shape how money circulates, how food travels, how culture gathers, and how power concentrates or distributes.

Photography by Ness Vanderburgh: Finn, Perrie, Zach, Abe, Simone the Duck, Emily, Jenny and Noam (behind the apple tree!) from Magical Farm

We are all already designers. The question is whether we understand the living systems within which we are designing.

From an anthroposophic perspective, the human being is not separate from the social and ecological organism but an organ within it. Our daily decisions, what we eat, where we purchase, how we spend, how we organise time, how we participate in civic life are a pattern of our reality. Economic flow reflects or mirrors ecological flow. When value moves through distant, centralised supply chains it is our farmland, landscapes and communities that thin. When it circulates through local markets and small farms, relationships strengthen and resilience thickens.

Food is not simply nutrition it is in fact formative. It shapes the body; the body shapes perception; perception shapes culture and design. A culture that eats together generates cohesion. A region that grows food regeneratively restores soil, biodiversity and water cycles. Healthy land produces healthy food; healthy food supports healthy bodies; healthy bodies enable clearer perception; clearer perception supports wiser design. The loop is ecological, cultural and economic at once.

Localised, biodynamic food systems are therefore not nostalgic gestures, they are perceptual and civic infrastructure. As both farmer and design theorist, I have come to articulate this through Con Viv: convivial living systems design. Con Viv does not reject professional design; it deepens it. It asks designers to consider metabolism alongside materiality, governance alongside geometry, soil alongside system and policy. It recognises that everyday citizens are co-designers of economic and ecological futures through their habits and participation.

Photography by Ness Vanderburgh at Magical Farm Tasmania

Grow Small, Feed All campaign emerged as a structural application of this thinking, redirecting economic flows toward nourishment, decentralising value, strengthening localised food economies and restoring dignity to producers. It is not a campaign alone; it is a design proposition at regional scale, in Tasmania and possibly for other places too!?

Living Earth College is now emerging from this work as a translocal education platform dedicated to life systems literacy. Its premise is simple: soil processes, cooperative economics, phenomenological observation, real world place-based food projects coming to life as prototypes for sharing, co-design of policy and cultural practice must become foundational within design education, not peripheral.

The professional designer has a critical role to play. So too does the student, the policymaker, the farmer and the household. If life systems literacy were embedded across disciplines and daily life, design would shift from extraction toward participation. We are already shaping the future. As we are all designers, the invitation is to design consciously, in service of living systems.

First reflection on the 2026 Goetheanum Agriculture Conference

The 2026 Goetheanum Agriculture Conference has now closed, and I am sitting with a quiet, full heart. I will share photos and deeper reflections in time, and as Dr Demeter I have been in conversation with many extraordinary people here, farmers, researchers, doctors, philosophers, scientists, herbalists, compost makers, and quiet cultural stewards. There are stories coming. For now, this is a small field note from within the experience.

Dr Demeter / Emily Samuels-Ballantyne at Magical Farm Tasmania, just prior for departing for the 2026 Goetheanum Conference in Dornach Switzerland. Photography by Ness Vandeburgh Photography

People from forty-six countries gathered around a shared devotion: care for land, life, and the invisible relationships that make fertility possible. Across languages and climates, I felt a deep Con Viv truth alive, that food systems are not mechanical supply chains, but living cultural ecosystems shaped by soil, story, community, and cosmos.

Compost was spoken about as relationship, not waste management. Herbal preparations were described with reverence…. Yarrow, chamomile, nettle, oak bark, and valerian were held as mediators between Earth and sky. Many people here have simply followed their hearts into this work, often quietly, often without recognition, because the land asked them to.

Again and again, the conference returned to an ancient remembering: agriculture lives inside a cosmic conversation. Rudolf Steiner spoke of earthly life as inseparable from cosmic rhythms, and here that knowing felt practical, embodied, and quietly radical. I was also reminded of Johannes Kepler’s Music of the Spheres, and of Elisabeth Vreede’s work carrying forward the understanding that the heavens are not distant observers, but participants in earthly becoming.

What moved me most was presence. People were not performing knowledge. They were living it.

If there is one thread I carry forward into Con Viv practice, policy imagination, and the Grow Small, Feed All vision, it is this: the unseen world is asking to become visible again through how we farm, design, govern, and relate.

More soon…including voices from the conference, conversations across continents, and the quiet revolution already growing in soils around the world.

Turning the Wheel from the Ground Up

There is a kind of leadership that faces outward with fire and certainty, yet forgets to turn and listen to the quiet, generative depths from which real authority arises. When power fixes its gaze only on what can be counted, traded, and controlled, it begins to sever itself from the living sources that sustain it. Decisions become fast and impressive, yet increasingly detached from consequence. The wheel keeps turning, and beneath the appearance of progress the subtle infrastructures of life such as soil fertility, trust, culture, and care, are gradually worn away. What disappears first is rarely visible on a balance sheet, yet it is precisely what makes any economy possible. When movement is oriented toward these deeper foundations, motion becomes a force of renewal.

“Is this a movement about subtle but profound movement?”

— Dr Demeter

Con Viv names this re-orientation. It is a simple way of seeing the living whole and acting from within it. Rather than separating economy, ecology, and culture, Con Viv understands them as one shared field of life. Leadership, in this light, is not command over parts but care for relationships of all kinds.

This is nowhere more visible than in our food systems. Policy after policy treats food as production, land as asset, seed as property, and farmers as operators in a global chain. Life is translated into price signals and logistics; yield stands in for nourishment, efficiency stands in for relationship, and the shared ground of life is enclosed by the language of markets.

Through a Con Viv lens, this is a narrowing of perception. Food is not a unit of output but a living meeting: soil, sun, water, labour, memory, and care arriving together each day on the table. When decisions recognise this interconnectedness, they shape the conditions for life to flourish. The work before us is to recover a clear perception of what food actually is, and to let policy grow from that perception.

Seen with this clarity, a farm is an organism: a living conversation between earth and sky, human intention and ecological process. Con Viv invites governance to become the art of strengthening coherence. Health arises when parts serve the whole and the whole nourishes the parts.

by Ness Vanderburgh Photography

From this vantage, the commodification of life appears as a thinning of reality. It values exchange while overlooking relationship, and ownership while overlooking stewardship. A different way opens when policy cultivates resilient, place-based food webs grounded in living landscapes and communities. This is Con Viv in practice: cultivating the conditions in which life can live well together.

This is also the spirit of Grow Small Feed All: directing support toward many small and medium farms, shortening supply loops, renewing regional processing, and rooting procurement in place. Diversity in landholders becomes diversity in crops, diets, and livelihoods, and risk is shared across a vibrant mosaic of producers. Here, economy is not extracted from place but circulates within it.

By Ness Vandeburgh Photography. Grow Small Feed All Campaign’ by Regen Era Design Studio

For me these ideas are grounded daily at Magical Farm Tasmania, where nothing thrives alone. Compost is community, pollination is partnership, water is memory moving through soil. Con Viv is not an abstract framework here but a daily practice. Policy becomes as practical as saving seed, keeping hedgerows, and opening pathways for young growers. Writing from this place is a laying of an inner foundation stone: thinking rooted in observation, feeling deepened into reverence, and willing expressed as steady, practical care - our 600 million dollar policy redirection has been seeded from these foundations.

From that ground, family, farm, and community form one field of responsibility. Decisions in the paddock echo at the kitchen table, the town meeting, and the policy page. In Con Viv terms, authority grows through relationship and coherence, not scale alone.

Gathering with others under the theme “You Never Farm Alone” gives language to this lived truth: autonomy and interdependence move together. A region stands in its own integrity while participating in a wider living exchange. Reciprocity becomes the organising principle, and isolation gives way to belonging.

Policy shaped from this foundation treats soil fertility as a public good, honours farmers as cultural practitioners, circulates finance locally, and measures success in biodiversity, nutrition, and belonging. These are not alternative indicators but truer ones, aligned with how living systems actually persist.

From the garden this is entirely practical. Con Viv looks like wind breaks planted for future generations, small abattoirs and mills that keep value near the land, farmer-to-farmer learning as a form of cultural renewal, school and hospital procurement that feeds regional growers, seed diversity protected as shared heritage, and regeneration rewarded as essential work.

By Ness Vandeburgh Photography.

When clarity and courage meet the everyday labour of soil and seed, food becomes nourishment, land becomes place, and policy becomes care made visible. Con Viv offers a simple compass for this complexity: strengthen the relationships that make life possible.

The wheel continues to turn, but now in conscious service of life, with movement guided not by extraction but by belonging.

With Love and Con Viv!
Dr Demeter

From Garden to Governance: Practical Wisdom for a Living Food System

To work with the Foundational Stone Meditation given by Rudolf Steiner is to experience thinking, feeling, and willing as living organs rather than abstract faculties. On the farm this is not philosophy but practice: thought becomes observation of soil and season, feeling becomes reverence for the beings who share the fields, and will becomes the steady hands that plant, mend, harvest, and feed.

by Ness Vandeburgh Photography

The meditation speaks of grounding spirit into the depths of the human heart so that action can rise again in freedom. Each morning in the garden I sense this descent and ascent as breath: compost returning matter to darkness, seedlings lifting green toward light. My family life follows the same rhythm. Care moves downward into listening, patience, and nourishment, then upward into guidance, decision, and protection.

Policy, too, must be laid like a stone in this inner foundation. When laws grow only from calculation, they hover above life and soon drift away from consequence. When they are set into the shared ground of place, work, and relationship, they hold. Writing from the farm teaches me that governance begins with attention: to animals who show when pasture is ready, to neighbours who reveal what community needs, to children who ask what kind of future we are making.

The meditation’s threefold gesture invites me to weave inner clarity, outer responsibility, and communal purpose. In human relationships this means meeting others not as roles but as souls in development. In relation to animals it means partnership rather than use, recognising their presence as part of the farm’s consciousness. In community it means shaping agreements that circulate vitality instead of extracting it.

by Ness Vandeburgh Photography

To carry this stone in the heart is to design from below, from roots and relationships, rather than from distant abstraction. Life, work, and policy then arise from the same source: a quiet centre where thinking is warmed by love and strengthened by courage, and where every decision is asked to serve the wholeness that holds us all in living reciprocity together.

Con Viv and With love,

Dr Demeter
