Leap Manifesto

We must develop a more localized and ecologically-based agricultural system to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, absorb shocks in the global supply – and produce healthier and more affordable food for everyone.

THE PRINCIPLE OF ECOLOGY – ORGANIC FARMING SHOULD BE BASED ON LIVING ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS AND CYCLES, WORK WITH THEM, EMULATE THEM AND HELP SUSTAIN THEM. THE PRINCIPLE OF FAIRNESS – ORGANIC FARMING SHOULD BUILD ON RELATIONSHIPS THAT ENSURE FAIRNESS WITH REGARD TO THE COMMON ENVIRONMENT AND LIFE OPPORTUNITIES.
