Summary

Commune Co-Founders Jeff and Jake are entangled in a series of conversations on how we can address our most pressing personal and global problems. One of the solutions is so old and obvious that we overlook its simple power: living in community. In this episode, Jake tells Jeff about the 240-acre agrivillage he is helping build in the Pacific Northwest and they discuss why communities of the past have flourished — or withered on the vine.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasnow.
0:13.0	So over the past five years, I've attempted to serve as an interpreter and a Sherpa of sorts through the wilderness of wellness trends and other
0:22.9	thornyer sociopolitical issues. And before pressing record and making a fossil record here in the
0:29.9	podcast, I explore many, many of these ideas with my co-founder, Jake. In fact, Jake and I are entangled
0:37.0	in a web of intersecting conversations,
0:40.3	focused on how to address the most pressing global problems.
0:44.3	And indeed, we are at a strange inflection point in human history.
0:49.3	And when we take a meta view of the human condition,
0:52.3	we must acknowledge the progress made since the days of the Black Plague in feudal Europe.
0:59.3	But technology and free markets haven't quite delivered utopia as advertised.
1:07.2	Instead, we find our society sick, lonely, and still polluting the ecosystem.
1:13.3	In our discussions, Jake frequently returns to the idea that while solutions targeting
1:18.6	one specific problem are well and good, we are only going to untangle our Gordians
1:24.8	knot of crises with solutions that are equally interwoven.
1:30.7	One of these solutions is so old and obvious that we overlook its simple power, and that's
1:37.1	living in community. Another one we return to again and again in our conversations is
1:43.6	regenerative agriculture.
1:45.0	Well, Jake is not one to rest idly in the realm of the theoretical,
1:50.0	so in addition to helping run commune, he is involved with a community of people who are building an agri-village
1:56.0	on 240 acres of farmland and forest in western Washington. Rooted Northwest, as the project is called,
2:05.5	is now in the permitting process to create a walkable village of 35 homes while preserving the
2:12.4	vast majority of the land for small and mid-sized regenerative agriculture projects.
