Dear All, 

Our latest article on REDWeb may be of interest-


Kasepuhan Gelar Alam, a centuries-old indigenous community in West Java, Indonesia, practices food and energy sovereignty through biodiversity-rich rice farming and traditional granaries. The community’s approach to technology is its most provocative expression of sovereignty – a cultural filter against uncritical modernity. The endurance of the Kasepuhan community across more than six centuries demonstrates that resilience is not born from technological sophistication or market-driven development, but from a society’s capacity to maintain coherence between culture, ecology, and governance.
