Six Steps Back To The Land – Rediscovering the Natural Way of Living

In today's fast-paced world, many people find themselves longing for a simpler and more connected way of life. The hustle and bustle of modern living, with its technology-driven conveniences and constant distractions, can often leave us feeling disconnected from nature and our own sense of well-being.

However, there is a growing movement of individuals and families who are choosing to take a step back and reconnect with the land. This movement, known as "Six Steps Back To The Land," aims to rediscover the natural way of living and forge a deeper connection with the Earth.

Step 1: Minimize

The first step in the journey to reconnect with the land is to minimize our dependence on material possessions. This involves decluttering our lives and getting rid of unnecessary belongings, as well as reducing our consumption and waste. By simplifying our lives, we create space for what truly matters and reduce our impact on the environment.

Step 2: Grow Your Own Food

One of the most empowering aspects of living close to the land is growing your own food. Whether you have a large backyard or a small balcony, there are myriad ways to cultivate fresh produce. From planting herbs and vegetables to raising chickens or honeybees, growing your own food brings immense joy and a sense of self-sufficiency.

Step 3: Embrace Sustainable Practices

Living in harmony with the land also means adopting sustainable practices. This includes using renewable energy sources, conserving water, composting, and practicing permaculture principles. By embracing sustainable practices, we can reduce our carbon footprint and create a more resilient and regenerative world for future generations.

Step 4: Reconnect With Nature

In the digital age, it's easy to become disconnected from the natural world. However, reconnecting with nature is crucial for our well-being and spiritual growth. Spending time outdoors, whether it's hiking in the mountains, swimming in the ocean, or simply sitting in a park, can help us find peace and inspiration.

Step 5: Learn Traditional Skills

Another integral part of the "Six Steps Back To The Land" movement is learning traditional skills. From woodworking and blacksmithing to weaving and candle making, traditional crafts allow us to connect with our ancestral roots and preserve valuable knowledge.

Step 6: Engage in Community

Lastly, engaging in community is an essential aspect of reconnecting with the land. Whether it's joining a local gardening group, participating in community events, or supporting local farmers' markets, building connections with like-minded individuals can create a sense of belonging and support.

As more and more people realize the importance of reconnecting with the land, the "Six Steps Back To The Land" movement continues to gain momentum. By taking these steps back to the land, individuals and families are rediscovering the beauty and simplicity of a natural way of living, while also leaving a positive impact on the Earth and future generations.

Colin Tudge coined the expression “Enlightened Agriculture” to describe agriculture that is “expressly designed to provide everyone, everywhere, with food of the highest standard, nutritionally and gastronomically, without wrecking the rest of the world”. In Six Steps Back to the Land, he explains how we can achieve that, and have truly sustainable, resilient and productive farms, looking at:why we need to rethink our approach to farming; how we can move to low-input mixed farms; how tightly-integrated farms employ many skilled people; dealing with the practicalities of this form of farming in today's world; and how we can get involved. Six Steps will inspire anyone to take an interest in our food chain and make a difference.
