Visionary Enterprises

The visionary enterprises and service areas will be dedicated to ensure optimal health – from plant-based food, clothing and cosmetics manufacturing, to music, organic agriculture, health centers and stimulating social and intellectual engagements.

Our objective is for the village to be self-sustaining, utilizing the crafts and skills of the residents to create industry. Sustainable organic agriculture will be a major component of village industry, providing both food and fuel. All of the village’s human, animal and plant waste will be composted into organic matter for recycling back into the soil to promote and maintain its fertility.

When considering the question of economic development and investment, we must be very selective of the types of products we desire to manufacture and make abundantly available to the populace. For “essential industry,” let us consider the areas of food, shelter, clothing and institutions. Where food is concerned, we can easily supply our population with fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains throughout the year. In this area the essential industries would include the milling of our grains, husking of our rice, etc. Reasonable mechanization would be required for the cleaning, sorting and packaging of produce for shipping, and perhaps the canning or jarring of the few items not available throughout the year, but for which it has been determined that they are desired or required during the off-season. It should be the same in our building and clothing industries. We should seek to establish industry to complement and supply the products wherefrom we become locally self-sufficient.
