 For FoAM stories are just a beginning - they are a way to test a possible future in a safe, playful setting. Our challenge is to engage people and plants long after the ARN/ARG finishes. Our aim is to stimulate development of a vegetal culture that sees plants as organisational principles for human society in this century - following clockworks, steam machines and computers. A vegetal society has rich, introspective qualities, is able to purify and enrich its environment and is aware of its entanglement with every animate and inanimate being on its path. Before a vegetal society can take root, we'd like to capture people's imagination with stories of an alternate reality, set in an atemporal world in which plants and humans cultivate each other. As Fukuoka said in One Straw Revolution: "The ultimate goal of farming is not growing of crops, but cultivation and perfection of human beings." For FoAM stories are just a beginning - they are a way to test a possible future in a safe, playful setting.
