It's time for a whole new way of doing school People are born systems-thinkers. Education has the power to encourage our innate connection with the complex world, yet instead our schools focus on creating a workforce educated just enough to feed the capitalist workforce pipeline.

Far more than a call to education-reform-as-usual, Ida Rose Florez's inspiring critique:Provides tools to explore patterns in education and influence patterns that lead to changeGives readers specific skills for working in complex systems, whether with a group of children, a contentious school board, or state or provincial governmentsHelps readers reimagine schools as places where communities learn together in a whole new way.This clarion call to action rings a bell for teachers, parents, grandparents, educators, and policymakers to challenge the outdated paradigm of coercion and exploitation that shapes our current schools. It's time to build a new educational model based on a resilient and regenerative future.

A new and ancient story about perennial nut trees, our ecological role as humans, and the future of foodAll over the Northern Hemisphere, humans used to grow our staple foods on perennial nut trees such as oaks for acorns, chestnuts, and hazelnuts. Feed Us with Trees breaks down the stories trapping us in today's industrrial food system and takes us on a fascinating journey rooted in the startling premise that our ancestors once produced their dietary mainstays-the flours, milks, and cooking oils still essential in today's pantries-by tending food forests or forest gardens.NPR reporter Elspeth Hay digs deep to expose the dominant narrative that keeps us stuck on industrial monocultures, and pieces together the complex history of how we arrived at today's broken food system. Through interviews with dozens of nut growers, scientists, Indigenous knowledge-keepers, researchers, and food professionals, she shines a light on those working toward a brighter, more abundant future. It's a vision that prioritizes life, redefines wealth, and above all reminds us that as humans, we have a vital role as one of Earth's keystone species.Hay's hopeful manifesto offers a new way of looking at modern, grain-based, annual agriculture. It will appeal to environmentalists, regenerative farmers, permaculture enthusiasts, agroforesters, locavores, and anyone hungry for a more holistic, nutrient-dense diet rooted in wild foods and ancient knowledge.
