    Why farming is beautiful

    With guest Stephan Lutz Stephan Lutz, Senior Program Consultant for World Renew. Farming is not a light job. We link it with dirt and dust, back-breaking work, and long hours sweating in the sun. But, have you ever thought about farming as an art? Where a farmer can try new crops, experiment with techniques, build new tools, and change as they go? In fact, farmers may be some of the most resourceful, ingenious, and creative people you know! Stephan Lutz, Senior Program Consultant at World Renew, shares the need for art and beauty within community development. It’s tempting to think that development begins when help arrives, but Stephan reminds us that every community already has a story. That’s why it’s crucial to listen and learn that story first before assigning “solutions”—to ‘walk with’ instead of ‘do for’. When dignity is upheld and people have the choice to try new things, make mistakes, and learn, they take the lead in their own development journey and create something truly beautiful.
