This clip was snipped from a talk conducted with Dr Andrew Kaufman by Max Igan.
I have reuploaded the full talk also for redundancy, in case the original gets taken down.

In an age of an increasing instability, we must begin to ask the question: "what are the most resilient farming and survival systems?" Drawing on wisdom from traditional subsistence cultures and from indigenous methods of survival, as well as drawing on new techniques from regenerative agriculture/forestry, we will examine the power of passive low tech solutions in our survival systems, as well as the need for diversity, redundancy, community, and collaboration. Our discussion will have insights for the novice grower as well as for the seasoned growers who would like to more deeply examine how their systems can become more resilient.

Cherán is a town of some 20,000 inhabitants in the highlands of Michoacán, one of the Mexican states that’s suffered most in the drug wars of the last decade.
Armed men and women — not police, but members of an autonomous militia — guard every entrance to the town, looking for strangers with contraband.
At the height of election season in Mexico, contraband means mostly political campaign ads: Guards confiscated thousands of banners and posters, from every major political party in Mexico, in just a few weeks. These ads, along with the political parties that produce them, are completely banned in Cherán, and have been since 2011, when residents overthrew their local government and started over.
The town had been terrorized for years by an organized crime syndicate devoted to illegally logging the surrounding forests. After mobs drove out the criminals, they disarmed and drove out the corrupt cops who had protected them. Then they banned the politicians and the parties that put them in power.
In their place, the people of Cherán developed an autonomous system of self-rule based on horizontal, direct-democratic assemblies.
And while it remains economically dependent on the existing government, Cherán has achieved something unthinkable in Michoacán: Reducing the rate of murders and other serious crimes to close to zero.
For many in Mexico, especially in an election year marred by wanton political murders, Cherán stands as proof that, in the country’s entrenched cycle of violence, the key ingredient is the state: Remove that ingredient, and it’s possible to start from scratch.
