40. Right to land

There are two basic kinds of relations with land. There is organic and participatory relation to local ecosystem that creates more abundance and greater variety of life, of which Indian fires and the forest garden of California are great examples. And there is the relation of the thief, robber and spoiler, who does not live with the land but just takes away and gives nothing back except poison, thus destroying the ecosystem and carrying capacity he also is dependent from.

Opportunity and basics of life, you say. Which relation to land offers those, which one denies them? Which one is right for land and men living with land, which one is suicidal and wrong, robbing the future away from our children?
