Notes:
"Farming harness the efficiency of collectivity and community. Whether cultivating land, harvesting resources, extracting energy or delegating labor, farming reveals the interdependencies of a globalized world. Simultaneously, farming represents the local gesture, the productive landscape, and the alternative economy. The Processes of farming are mutable, parametric, and efficient."
