Regeneration through building strong communities

Arguably building strong communities where the positive resources and efforts of the whole community can get behind development projects is the best way to achieve regeneration.

The article entitled ‘Fun rural communities can blossom through active social and community network building‘ gives a light hearted but concerned account of barriers to building strong communities and makes a call for the support and encouragement of those who who rise to this tough challenge.

If you know of successful rural community workers it offers to give publicity to their achievements.

Regeneration for farming is at hand with bio fuels but don’t wait for the governments to act

Rural and farming communities have been badly hit in Western countries by competition from lower cost production areas around the world.

Now we realise that, to save the planet, we must become carbon neutral and this means growing our fuel as we burn it. Regeneration for farming is at hand with biofuels but the governments will be confronted by an immensely powerful and wealthy oil lobby and therefore will probably not act fast enough.

Drivers must join with farmers to create demand and ways of supplying the demand for bio-fuels that will play an important part in saving our planet for future generations.
