Mission Statement
Tillers' mission
is:
To preserve, study, and exchange low-capital
technologies that increase the sustainability and productivity of
people in rural communities.
Sharing Our Rural Heritage with the World...
Tillers' Vision is:
To create an international learning community in
which we seek understanding of local conditions, encourage an attitude
of experimentation, and give promise of sustainable productivity
for generations to come.
...For a More Peaceful Earth
We strive to preserve low-cost, historical rural skills;
to find contemporary refinements within low-capital constraints;
and to share this information with those interested
in small farms, both in America and around the globe.
Elements of Tillers' Approach
1. Our principal goal is inspiring rural innovation.
2. Low-capital rural technology is the medium through which we build attitudes of experimentation.
3. Grassroots people-to-people exchange is at the core of Tillers' approach.
4. Listening before acting is critical.
5. The knowledge and skill base for our work has become scarce.
6. Partner organizations support our rural innovators overseas.
7. Quality tools and facilities inspire world-class innovation and re-invention.
