The E.F. Schumacher Society: A Trio of Essays This 35-page packet contains three essays, replicated and compiled by the Robyn Van En Center, titled "A New Lease on Farmland" (Susan Witt and Jay Rossier, 1990/2001), "Local Currencies: Catalysts for Sustainable Regional Economies" (Robert Swann and Susan Witt, 1995/2001), and "Land: Challenge and Opportunity" (Robert Swann and Susan Witt, 1995/2001). The essays include such information as ways to earn a living from the land and how to do so successfully and sustainable in ways that preserve the land for future use in agriculture. Also included are avenues to create diverse and stable regional economies consisting of many interrelated small, sustainable businesses, and extremely useful information on affordable access to land for farmers, ecologically sound land-use planning, and preservation of traditionally used lands by and for indigenous peoples.
