All human beings share basic needs that must be satisfied,
in order that we may first survive and then begin to make our lives more enriching, more enjoyable or more meaningful.
If we, as a human family, wish to survive and then to thrive, we must fit our human economy to the vastly more complex and more powerful economy of nature, and we can start with how we grow our food. If we can be willing to learn from and to live more simply and safely within nature's limits, then we will find that we can indeed be satisfied.
