by Michael Smith (Veshengro) Cohesive communities are a threat – or at least are as such perceived – to the powers-that-be (but really should not be) and it is for that very reason that such areas, such communities, are always targeted for break up and its residents for dispersal. And that is the very reason why we need to rediscover community and the power of community. Today, though, community hardly exists in our co-called communities.

Community is being formed through gardens in Denver, Colorado. The following excerpt takes us to Denver, where the urban garden has become a community of its own. The Garden as Community It’s hard to miss the East Thirteenth Street Garden on a summer afternoon. Except at its own working farm, known as DeLaney Farm, where a DUG employee manages the daily operations, the DUG staff let the gardens and the people do the work of growing food and building community.

Many of the Baby Boomers were born or grew up the 1960s and 1970s, which set the stage for all kinds of sustainable concepts from communal or community living to vegetarianism, or not eating meat. Now that the Boomers are retiring and experiencing the “empty nest” syndrome, the half-century dream of living in a “green community” is re-emerging. If it all sounds too airy-fairy, consider this: America was founded by individuals who favored the community living principle.

Adventures in Community Supported Agriculture. My interest in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA for short) started at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C. Community supported agriculture is a pretty simple idea: you pay a local farm up-front, and the farmers use that money to run their business. I don’t know if you’ve ever been there, but it’s definitely worth a stop if you’re ever in town.

Source: Nurture Development Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) is an approach to sustainable community-driven development. Beyond the mobilisation of a particular community, it is concerned with how to link micro-assets to the macro-environment. Asset Based Community Development’s premise is that communities can drive the development process themselves by identifying and mobilizing existing, but often unrecognised assets.

In addition to that what is lacking so much today is community spirit; the spirit to get involved in actions for the community and also simply being part of the community proper. Proper community is what makes us tick, as human beings, but proper community has been created away by the powers-that-be and now they want to resurrect it. Community spirit now is something that you can't teach but was once something that just seems to have been there.
