In a gift economy, the land gives us fruit, plants and food, and in return we have a responsibility to the land to take care of it and preserve it.
Currently reading the superb book Hunt, Gather, Parent which is doing an amazing job of highlighting everything I'm doing wrong...
This section about the gift economy (I think she's actually quoting another book) really got the gears in my head spinning. Gift economies could apply in lots of places.
A gift economy relationship is one of reciprocity; it's bidirectional. Gonna dig into it some more this week, and explore how we might apply it.
