The Interbeing of Agroecology

Plum Village is a Zen Buddhist Monastery and Mindfulness Practice Centre in the South of France. Within our Agroecology farm which we call The Happy Farm we centre the interbeing or interconnectedness of food production, sacred ecology and the wellbeing of the farmers. This is expressed as a sacred trilogy of food, ecology and farmer. Our farm exists not just to cultivate seasonal, organic and nutrient-dense food for our community, but to help all those who cross our threshold to begin to uproot the notion of a separate self. Our farmers are invited to cultivate the reality of interbeing on the farm accompanied by humans and our more-than-human family. Our farm aims to help catalyse an individual and collective reawakening that we humans are part of this family of life and that we belong. That we are the Earth that carries us.
