We Protect Farming Forever
Not just a business model. Not just a cooperative. But protectionβof farmers, farming, food systems, soil, communities, and civilization. For 2,000 years.
"If we could manufacture farm equipment, we want our farmers to become cooperative owners of our operation. This prevents servicing cost spikes! They would never over-charge themselves. They would never rob themselves!"
β Leonard, CareWorld Founder
Why Farming Needs Protection
Four existential threats endanger farming and food security
Corporate Extraction
John Deere extracts $4.2B/year from farmers through repair monopolies. Monsanto traps farmers with seed patents. Cargill depresses crop prices.
Result: Small farmers go bankrupt, corporate farms consolidate.
Soil Degradation
Industrial agriculture depletes topsoil 10x faster than nature rebuilds it. Chemical dependence creates dead soil.
Result: Soil becomes unsustainable after 50-100 years.
Climate Instability
Droughts, floods, and extreme weather cause crop failures and rising insurance costs.
Result: Farming becomes economically unviable.
Generational Loss
Average farmer age: 58 years. Young people don't want to farmβtoo risky, too expensive, too extractive.
Result: Family farms disappear, knowledge lost.
The Trajectory:
- β’ 50 years: No small farmers left (only corporate mega-farms)
- β’ 100 years: Soil depleted (food production collapses)
- β’ 150 years: Civilization collapses (can't feed population)
How the Ecosystem Protects Farming
Ten cooperatives working together create six layers of protection
Economic Protection
- βFarmer-owned manufacturing (fair equipment costs)
- βProfit-sharing dividends from sales
- βRepair rights (no extraction)
- βMarket access through FarmWorld
Environmental Protection
- βTerra Preta soil (2,000-year fertility)
- βRegenerative practices (no degradation)
- βClimate resilience (water retention, carbon sequestration)
- βBiodiversity (diverse crops, healthy ecosystems)
Social Protection
- βHealthcare through KidsWorld
- βEducation through TeacherWorld
- βEmployment through NYEP
- βCommunity through SocialWorld
Legal Protection
- βDefense against corporate lawsuits
- βRight-to-repair legislation advocacy
- βCooperative governance protection
- βOpen-source licensing defense
Technological Protection
- βOpen-source designs (can't be locked out)
- βStandard parts (multiple suppliers)
- βTraining (farmers can repair themselves)
- βInnovation (farmers control R&D)
Cultural Protection
- βFarming as honorable profession (GFOAT)
- βKnowledge preservation (elder training youth)
- βCommunity celebration (harvest festivals)
- βGenerational continuity (family farms thrive)
