Principles and Assumptions

1.  Political control must be returned to local and state governments, as per the U.S. Constitution.

2.  Economic control must be returned to local and state communities, as per the U.S. Constitution.

3.  The present debt and interest based monetary system, in which a private banking system has the power to create currency out of nothing, lend it, and receive it back with interest, is unjust and cannot be sustained.

4.  That the present debt and interest-based, export-based agricultural system, in which plant and animal manure is not returned to the soil, cannot be sustained.

5.  The first step to returning to a sustainable agriculture is to return to constitutionally limited government, self-government, and federalism, as per the U.S. Constitution, in which politics (and so economics and agriculture) is under local control.  An unlimited federal government, and the unlimited issue of currency as interest-bearing debt, are the real causes of the policies about which those who believe in organic agriculture rightly complain.
