The national Community Rights movement offers a local strategy for communities to dismantle corporate rule by challenging corporate "rights" and passing enforceable laws. This approach addresses corporate harms as symptoms of corporate personhood, moving beyond conventional activism.

Join Community Rights activists and leaders like Paul Cienfuegos, whose expertise has guided over 200 communities in nine states. For resources, writings, or to arrange workshops, email Paul@CommunityRights.US or visit CommunityRights.US.

Paul Morrell, OBE, addresses critical challenges facing built environment

Paul Morrell, OBE, addresses critical challenges facing built environment professions, emphasizing the need for adaptability. He advocates for collaborative reforms in sector structure, education, policy, and accountability to enhance efficiency and societal value.

Many institutions, rooted in Victorian principles, struggle in today's world of technological shifts, blurring professional lines, and a discerning public. Morrell questions how they can update their past to remain relevant.

He highlights a critical "performance gap": buildings often fail to deliver on promises of health, well-being, and low-carbon impact, a systemic failure of the professions to address.

This video tells the inspiring story of Maw Maw Hmwe and women farmers in Myanmar's Magway Region. Facing climate challenges, they transformed their livelihoods by establishing the Taw Win Thazin

This video tells the inspiring story of Maw Maw Hmwe and women farmers in Myanmar's Magway Region. Facing climate challenges, they transformed their livelihoods by establishing the Taw Win Thazin rice noodle enterprise. Supported by an FAO women’s savings and credit group, they added value to local rice, creating sustainable income.

Through improved access to finance, training, and machinery, these women are building resilience and strengthening local food systems. Their women-led business demonstrates how communities and hope can be nourished, even in times of crisis, fostering financial stability for families like Maw Maw's.

Our "Transforming Tradition" series explores how to produce rice with fewer resources and regenerate nature. This episode highlights farmers globally adopting the System of Rice Intensification

Our "Transforming Tradition" series explores how to produce rice with fewer resources and regenerate nature. This episode highlights farmers globally adopting the System of Rice Intensification (SRI), an agroecological approach.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, an international charity, champions a circular economy. This design-driven model eliminates waste and pollution, circulates products and materials, and regenerates nature.

The global food system, responsible for 20-30% of greenhouse gas emissions, seeks sustainable rice production. Many farmers are adopting the System of Rice Intensification (SRI), an agroecological method that reduces water, methane, and chemicals, while boosting yields and cutting labor.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, promotes a circular economy. This design-led model eliminates waste, pollution, circulates materials, and regenerates nature, aligning with sustainable practices.

The global food system generates 20-30% of greenhouse gas emissions, largely from production. Conventional rice production, a staple for over half the world, alone generates emissions equivalent to global aviation. The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) offers an agroecological solution.

SRI employs simple interventions to significantly reduce water use, methane, and chemicals, while boosting yields and cutting labor. Currently 4% of rice production, scaling SRI to 25% could reduce emissions equivalent to India's total output.
