Hello All,

I am going to talk about an idea, which involves the marrying of two points of need.

The refugee crisis and the dwindling rural culture of Australia.

We have the basic needs for survival here in Australia; food, water and shelter.

We have the capacity to provide these basic needs to others.

We live in comfort, yet we are scared, fearful of losing what we have and fearful of what we don't understand.

Therefore initiative for great change is minimal.

We have many layers of evidence for the need of change;

And if we do not take the hint from the global evidence of Climate Change, the refugee crisis and the banking crisis the message will become personal in the form of stress, cancer, mental illness, auto-immune disease, etc.

All these issues are to influence the changes we need to make.

And the issues will become more personal, more intense, more aggressive until we each be the change we wish to see in the world. - Gandhi Ji

In Australia we need the resolution to make these changes.

To break free from our unsustainable mold of habits.

And who can help us?

Who is resolute in making a change?

Who has been personally effected by these issues?

Refugees

And in Australia with our ever increasing urban population, climate change, food market monopolisation, expensive labour and cheap imported food who is being effected?

Australia's Rural Communities

The heart of Australia's post colonisation identity are crying for the need for change.

Small family farms are feeling the pressure as markets and unsustainable mass production of food squeezes them out of their homes; depopulating rural areas and therefore decimating the community left for the remaining few.

I have friends and family in rural Australia and when i mean rural i mean hundreds of kilometres from the closest city.
They have a small voice in our Australian population and are but a whisper in the ears of our political leaders.

And they have been screaming,

"Refugees will you save us!!"

And finally they have been heard.

The National Farmers Federation (NFF) and the Migration Council Australia (MCA) backed by the Friendly Nations Initiative (tasked in integrating the Australian government's meager pledge to relocate 12,000 Syrian refugees into Australia), have heard our farmers cries and are running a 12-month pilot to integrate 12-15 refugee families into our rural communities.

This is great!

However, the farmers still need the means to employ these refugees.

How?

Cryptocurrency

source

A Refugee Currency minted by the farmers as a means of energy exchange.

And what about unsustainable farming practices that damage our delicate ecosystem?

The capacity to mint will directly depend on how sustainable and environmentally friendly the farmer's management systems and practices are.

The more sustainable


the more currency minted


the more jobs for refugees


the more cultural diversity


all contributing to the elimination of fearful assumptions and the growth and health of rural communities.

This idea is at the early stages of development.

Please post questions, ideas, and feedback. I would love to hear it.

I shall also keep you all posted on the project.

Thank you
