Hello,

I want to share an idea that could change the way humanity produces and distributes its food.

I call this proposal EDEN.

The principle is simple: Every human being has equal value, and every person’s time is worth the same.

Under EDEN, farmers would be paid $20 per hour, just like the KING of Earth. A farmer growing vegetables, a farmer producing grain, and a farmer raising livestock would all receive the same hourly compensation as people performing other occupations.

Why?

Because the purpose of farming should be to provide humanity with the best food possible, not to make a private owner wealthy.

Imagine a society where farmers are encouraged to grow the highest-quality, most nutritious food they can produce. Their compensation would not depend on charging the highest prices or maximizing profits. Instead, their work would contribute to a common purpose: feeding humanity.

EDEN would organize the resources, equipment, storage, and distribution needed to make sure food reaches the people who need it. Its economic system would focus on meeting human needs rather than maximizing private profit.

This does not mean farming would be easy or that food production could be taken for granted. Farmers would still need the freedom, knowledge, equipment, and resources to do their jobs well. EDEN would have to ensure that enough food is produced, preserved, and delivered to everyone.

My vision is a society where people can take pride in their work because they know they are contributing to humanity’s well-being.

The farmer’s time has equal value to the KING’s time. The food they produce has a purpose greater than private profit: feeding humanity.

I call this vision EDEN, and I believe it deserves serious discussion.

Would you be willing to examine this proposal and consider whether a nonprofit economic system built around equal human value could offer a better future for humanity?

Sincerely,

James R. Dunne
