Here is a blog post that illustrates the « critical exploration of the concepts of balance and self-sustenance as applied in permaculture and ecological agriculture ». In this blog, Smagorinsky implores the reader to tap into their empathetic side in order to grow strong, healthy crops not only for a good yield, but for the benefit of a healthy environment and ecosystem. In doing so, the approach to farming shifts towards regenerative and organic philosophy. Smagorinsky suggests a diversion from solely considering numbers and profits, and rather nurture the land in order to fuel our communities « and show up for the work to heal, to care, and to restore ecosystems filled with diverse life that have the capacity to feed us too. »
