The document proposes transitioning to more sustainable living and farming practices through cooperative communities called "Beforests". Beforests would have small land holdings in large cooperative farms with 70-75% perennials. They would focus on sustainability over profits and community over isolation. Members would share resources, risks, produce and profits. The document describes three potential Beforest locations in India and provides contact information for more details.
