As it’s been said, if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

One intentional community that chose to ‘go together’ some 40 years ago, kicks off Episode 4, namely 'Tamera' - based in Portugal’s Alentejo region, on an impressive and innovative 335-acre site, addressing such big issues as:

How will humanity live in the future?
How can we as humanity resolve the crises we’ve caused and survive on Earth?
Can this planet become the paradise it is meant to be?

Hear Head of Tamera's Global Campus Vera Kleinhammes' on this recording and find out more about their inspiring and amazing research, education and outreach at www.tamera.org

The second segment of the podcast arose from this post in the Pure Portugal Facebook Group:

"It is done! The Lusicanna cooperative (for the production of industrial hemp in Portugal) was founded yesterday, August 24th in In the sweltering heat of a typical Alentejo summer day in Serpa. The six founders are currently producing hemp in Alentejo, Algarve and Castelo Branco area."

"One of our main goals is to enable as many farmers as possible to join this exciting market. If you are interested in becoming part of the emerging hemp industry in Portugal, keep tabs on Lusicanna! We will be open for new members starting next season!"

Hear Carl Munson in conversation with Jurgen of the Lusicanna Co-operative about their launch, the long-term strategy, and the outstanding potential benefits that industrial and medicinal hemp growing could offer towards rural regeneration in Portugal.

"And finally..."

Sometimes, it’s the little, eccentric things that can make a big, profound difference to life in a new land.

For Brits, it’s a tin of sweet, orange beans, which we focus on here, along with a few DIY recipes so you can ‘try this at home’, if you can’t lay your hands on the genuine article.
