Resilience, Redundancy, Forgiveness

Building Forgiveness into the System
Joel Salatin is the author of Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal, Holy Cows and Hog Heaven, and others. Joel has created a resilient organic farm that is nearly self-sustaining, with minimal inputs and "stage direction" from the farmers themselves. The system is forgiving of spiking energy prices, drought, flood, disease, and the vagaries of industrial capitalism.
