Husbandry

This book tells a story of husbandry - a proper time-honoured way in which humanity may participate as members and marriage partners with the 'earth communities'. Husbandry requires an exclusive relationship of a person with the land and secure tenure. The husbander has a duty of care within the boundaries of their earth community - all land needs a husbandry clause modelled on those traditionally included in agricultural leases. And the husbander has a duty of care to those who are excluded by the boundaries of their earth community that is met by paying dues for the privilege of exclusive use. These dues are a form of rent and are equivalent to Henry George's Land Value Tax or Single Tax.
