The synergie21 associative project




by S21 » 25/08/20, 05:58

Hello,

We discovered your forum several months ago through the vegetable garden of Didier Helmstetter's sloth. Lots of topic covered in your forum composes the vision of our project. Our vision of horticulture, of the human being, its relationship to living things and to society in its materialistic and technological development, seems to be atypical but so fundamental. This approach of honesty towards our fellow human beings and towards ourselves has led us to create the associative project synergie21 https://www.synergie21.ch/

For those who know ver de terre production, during a recent video conference, Ernst Zürcher talks about our project (at 32min 50sec)



We believe your forum is a good tool for discussing the potential and the virtuous consequences that our ideas could have. By submitting them to criticism, we hope that contributors will help us enrich and refine them, if necessary, of interest to a large number of people who could help us in the implementation of this new horticultural and human paradigm.

We look forward to discussing with you.

Sincerely,

S21

Update and additional information.

Hello,

Our post has elicited little reaction so far, we believe that an update, as well as more information is needed.

Why do you want to create free training in elementary horticulture for children and adults?

According to our experience, the creation of forest gardens (Edeneraies) produces, while engaging little energy, a large amount of food and various natural materials. In this way of doing things, two tasks are among the most 'laborious':
1) sorting out desirable and undesirable plants and
2) the collection of various and varied foodstuffs as well as the collection of materials. However, of these two tasks, it is the latter that requires the most work.

This is where civil society comes in. For the benefit of elementary horticulture training, everyone would be able, according to pre-established rules for each place, to develop it independently.
We have all had at least once the experience of stumbling upon an abundance of fruits, wild vegetables, or mushrooms in the forest. We have all tasted the pleasure of discovering these products as 'gifts from the sky' and bringing them home to share with family and friends.
In an Edeneraie, the principle would be exactly the same, but at an even higher and regular level of abundance. Anyone being trained would be encouraged to perform elementary actions, in each situation that requires it and according to their available time. But mainly to harvest, according to his knowledge, as much as possible of foodstuffs or materials that can be collected and of course, by ensuring the good packaging and viability of the products during transport. Since very often the quantities harvested will exceed the personal needs of each and / or family, the products will be deposited in a place close to the Edeneraie (farm or a cooperative for example). The 'pickers' will be able to take for free (or almost) what they need for their personal consumption, keeping in mind that the best way to preserve a product is to leave it on its feet or on site (in the ground for example) and can swap their surplus with other products present on site or be paid in a local currency.

As Ernst Zürcher says, our experience and the functioning of living things call us to all participate in this abundance, all generations combined. Here we also have the opportunity to regain control of our past (reintegrate the old ones), our future (reintegrate the young people) within the Edeneraies (to put us back in the heart of the living) in a synergy that we believe can be the cement of a civilization truly deserving of its name of 'sapiens'.

Why create Edeneraies?

The birth as well as the functioning of a forest is according to current knowledge, the best terrestrial system in the world. Reintegrating this system into cities (larger green area and greening of buildings) and countryside, would produce benefits that we can all imagine, in addition to responding to an increasingly hot climate in our latitudes and to the collapse massive biodiversity.
In addition, in a society where digital technology is taking more and more place in our lives, the almost daily confrontation with the living brings an opportunity to gain maturity through humility. By seeking to want to dominate systems that are older and much more efficient than us, we deprive ourselves of the experience of learning. By regaining our place as an eternal apprentice in the living world and by agreeing to confront ourselves, we have access to the opportunity to be wiser by learning from our lessons of humility.

Why do you want to generalize local exchange systems and local currencies?

The recent announcements of transformation of the world economy (see website of the World Economic Forum) and at all digital concerning the currency, push a large number of citizens to think of viable alternatives. Barter and local currencies have an interest in developing and generalizing for more resilience and autonomy. These systems, in contrast to digital systems, promote social and intergenerational links and thus offer a good complement, in addition to a solid base, to 'modern' systems.

Why create an association?

The above-mentioned themes have all been addressed and their viability and effectiveness have been demonstrated many times. However, to our knowledge, it has never been proposed to go so far about the horticultural and human paradigm that we are proposing. We do not find this idea bold, but rather legitimate and whose time has come.
The creation of the association was wanted to:

- Spread this idea and create a debate
- Recruit people motivated to co-construct training
- Propose our approaches in horticulture in addition to other approaches, other experimenters (permaculture, agroecology, phenoculture, etc.)
- Create 'witness' Edeneraies
- Propose an imagination through artistic creations, the imagination is fundamental in this project where few people realize how easily all this can be set up and the beneficial effects that it could have on all of our lives

To summarize :

Knowing that the forest is the best agricultural system (and system at all) in the world, can we validate it? We mean, get it officially recognized? Knowing that this system by committing little energy produces a great abundance of materials, food and other benefits, can we decree that this abundance becomes the heritage and therefore the responsibility of each one? Knowing that human beings today need to connect with nature more than ever, for dozens of reasons, can we collectively validate this reconnection to the point that it becomes a social norm through the provision of free training? Trained and collaborating for example with the peasants, managers and benevolent guardians of these forest gardens, do you imagine what this could produce?

If we can collectively welcome these elementary fundamentals, then a virtuous synergy is possible. We are talking here about having the courage to support the idea that every human being on this earth should have elementary knowledge of horticulture (with the equivalent for wildlife) in order to be able to interact in a majority autonomous and spontaneous way. in forest gardens, Edeneraies etc.

We do not know exactly what a better society is, on the other hand, we know with experience, of what nature should be the foundations of such a society. In reality it is very simple. Since our 'modern' civilization is the fruit of life, we believe that a society above all, intimately connected to life is a resolutely positive thing. From there, we have good reason to believe that materialism or technology, among other things, is unlikely to be a problem anymore.

For yourself

Hello Synergie21

you should intervene directly in agroforestry matters,
agriculture / debate-the-forest-gardens-are-they-the-future-of-our-vegetable-gardens-t16450-40.html

and if necessary return to this discussion thread.

the term agroforestry also comes up from time to time in the topic "vegetable garden of the sloth"

and also spiritual, no offense to some. Progress also has something good if it calls for vintage.

Good luck to you

Thank you for your message!

Indeed, backed by an almost daily practice that can give us the opportunity to remain humble, progress can only be more virtuous.
