Protecting the Commons Through Linking Indigenous Views on Natural Law with Relational Governance
摘要
The key theme of this chapter is that climate change, high costs of living and movement to the cities threaten food security but this does not mean that small farmers should be threatened by the corporatisation of food production or factory farms. Localisation and food sovereignty is about owning the means of production of the food cycle. This contribution discusses learning within nature’s classroom in the Limpopo region of South Africa, through and online and face to face facilitation supported by University of South Africa, the University of Venda, Adelaide University and PGS (PGS body is PGSA https://www.pgssa.org.za/ ), an organic farmers network. This research aims to contribute to the literature by uniting indigenous views on natural law with earth jurisprudence and Wild Law to protect the commons and habitat for multiple species.
