Rural communities in modern times have been reduced into hyper-efficient tools of production and extraction by an increasingly small number of corporations. As this trend progresses corporations will slowly out compete smaller farms with the implementation of more and more efficient farming practices until only a few companies own the vast majority of arable land. Rural communities are in need of a new design that acknowledges the damage caused by mechanization and corporate consolidation and works within this existing framework to generate new models of extraction and production that empowers rural communities as beneficiaries of the processes that occur within and around their communities.
