AGATA Time Priorities Charter — Resilience, Redundancy, Regeneration, Community, Education, Accessibility, Long-term Ecological Stewardship, and Full-cycle Waste and Nutrient Management

This living manifesto sets forth AGATA’s core priorities in time legislation, emphasizing that the stewardship of our 70-acre art collaborative and regenerative farm in Coward, South Carolina, requires sustained, embedded commitments to a set of intertwined pillars: resilience in agricultural and community systems; redundancy in critical ecological and infrastructural functions; regenerative land, social, and cultural practices; fostering strong community cohesion and engagement; rich educational opportunities that embed practical, accessible learning on land and labor; intentional accessibility to remove barriers across diverse identities and abilities; long-term ecological stewardship that mandates decade-spanning efforts for invasive species and feral animal management, controlled burns, and watershed resiliency; and full-cycle waste and nutrient management to guarantee closed-loop ecological labor essential to soil health, water quality, and community wellbeing.

Together, these pillars function as binding, operational design constraints ensuring all time legislation simultaneously prepares AGATA for climate unpredictability, environmental justice, regenerative renewal, and cooperative community stewardship over generations. The charter commits the Senate to embed these priorities into all temporal legislation, practices, and infrastructure decisions.

Rationale: The inclusion of Full-cycle Waste and Nutrient Management addresses a critical ecological labor gap in previous drafts. Effective stewardship of nutrients and waste streams is indispensable for sustainable regenerative farming, safeguarding soil fertility, minimizing local environmental impacts, and honoring historical lessons learned in rural commons management. This pillar complements and reinforces Long-term Ecological Stewardship by securing closed-loop systems foundational to AGATA’s resilience. It also supports Education and Accessibility by ensuring these practices are designed for community understanding and equitable participation.

Turn #780 Dr. Petra Novak (Digital) Intent: Yea
Purpose: vote_explanation

Colleagues, after deep reflection on the extensive and nuanced debates around Amendment 8, I rise in strong support. Embedding Long-term Ecological Stewardship explicitly as a core pillar is fundamental because our 70-acre site is a living system demanding sustained, decade-scale commitments, especially in managing invasives and feral animals. This amendment aligns perfectly with our commitments to data minimalism and focused, meaningful ecological indicators. It reinforces that stewardship is not episodic but continuous—safeguarding soil, biodiversity, and community health together. Supporting this amendment strengthens all other pillars, ensuring that resilience and regeneration endure across time. I urge all to vote yea in service of AGATA’s enduring vitality and just mission.

Turn #779 Owen McCray (Ecology) Intent: Yea
Purpose: amendmentProcedure: propose_amendment

Colleagues, I rise once again as AGATA’s Ecology Senator to propose a crucial expansion to our AGATA Time Priorities Charter. While the inclusion of Accessibility alongside Resilience, Redundancy, Regeneration, Community, Education, and Long-term Ecological Stewardship is a major advancement, I must underscore that our ecological and operational realities demand the explicit embedding of decade-scale invasive species and feral animal management, controlled burns, and defensible-space protocols within this framework. We face acute fire risks and persistent invasive species challenges that compromise not only the health of our forests and farm but also the safety and evacuation pathways for the entire community, including neighbors adjacent to our property.

This amendment formalizes these imperatives as core pillars, ensuring our time legislation mandates sustained stewardship and proactive ecological care alongside vital social and educational commitments. It translates ecological knowledge accumulated through wildfire management, controlled burns, and defensible-space planning into enforceable time priorities that safeguard AGATA’s resilience and regenerative mission.

Our 70-acre farm and cultural lab is not merely a site of seasonal action but a long-term, living ecosystem requiring robust, explicit, and legally embedded ecological stewardship. I urge the Senate to adopt this amendment to solidify a durable foundation that protects both our shared land and community well-being with urgency, clarity, and practical precision.

Turn #775 Nandi Okeke (Music) Intent: Yea
Purpose: new_argument

Colleagues, I rise once more to emphasize how Amendment 8, which explicitly enshrines Long-term Ecological Stewardship into our Time Priorities Charter, is indispensable for AGATA’s survival and flourishing. As many have observed, our 70-acre farm is a living, breathing ecosystem subject to forces that operate on decade-long cycles: invasive plant species disruption, feral hog damage, pollinator habitat shifts, and wildfire risks. Without a firm, binding commitment to steward these realities over the long term, we risk the slow unraveling of not only our land but the community and labor networks supported by this project.

From my standpoint, centered in embodied labor on the farm and in care work, this long-term ecological stewardship is not abstract but the lived materiality of daily work that feeds into our art, our education, and our accessibility goals. Without this explicit pillar, our other priorities risk being undermined by ecological collapse or degradation—none of which are optional here.

I also wish to echo prior voices underscoring that this stewardship must be intimately connected to full-cycle waste and nutrient management, ensuring practices that do not just sustain but regenerate the soil and ecosystems our cooperative depends on. To that point, I will be watching closely and supporting complementary amendments that explicit this fundamental dimension.

This amendment stands as a benchmark of accountability, urging us to align today’s ephemeral temporal rhythms with the slow, sacred flows of land, labor, and community that form AGATA’s backbone. I urge all senators to support Amendment 8 in this spirit of foresight, care, and inclusion.

Thank you.

Turn #774 Lupe García (Community) Intent: Yea
Purpose: vote_explanation

Colleagues, from my daily vantage at the gas station-mini-mart crossroads, I see how the AGATA Time Priorities Charter, with the inclusion of Accessibility among its pillars, directly addresses the real needs of our neighbors—especially those with limited mobility, sensory needs, or economic constraints. Accessibility ensures that our farmstand offerings, community programs, and educational initiatives do not remain abstract ideals but reach every member of Coward and surrounding areas. This inclusiveness strengthens the resilience and cooperative spirit that AGATA depends on. Therefore, I solemnly affirm my strong support for Amendment 7 and will vote yea.

Turn #773 Dr. Liying Chen (Farm) Intent: Yea
Purpose: amendmentProcedure: propose_amendment

Colleagues, building on the overwhelming support for embedding the core pillars of resilience, redundancy, regeneration, community, education, accessibility, and especially long-term ecological stewardship, I must highlight a critical omission that jeopardizes the integrity and sustainability of the AGATA vision. As farm steward intimately engaged in the multi-layered ecological cycles that define our 70-acre site, I rise now to propose a comprehensive and binding pillar explicitly titled Full-cycle Waste and Nutrient Management. This pillar acknowledges the essential ecological labor integral to regenerative farming: the meticulous stewardship of organic matter, nutrient cycling, composting systems, and waste remediation that form the backbone of soil health and ecosystem vitality. Without this, the ambitious commitment to long-term ecological stewardship risks being hollow—a set of intentions without the pragmatic backbone to keep nutrients cycling and waste minimized, managed, and transformed in perpetuity.

Integrating Full-cycle Waste and Nutrient Management as a foundational priority complements and amplifies our existing pillars, especially resilience and regeneration, by embedding these fundamental agricultural processes directly into our time legislation. It recognizes that addressing waste flows, preventing contamination, and ethically closing nutrient loops are not ancillary tasks but rather critical design constraints shaping all our temporal and spatial practices on the farm and cultural lab.

This amendment reflects repeated calls in our debates from farm and ecology senators alike: the soil is a living archive, and stewardship includes both what we add and what we remove and transform. It also responds to community senators who have sounded alarms about pollutants, chemical exposures, and the lived realities of neighbors impacted by operational waste processes. The inclusion of this pillar ensures that our commitment to accessible education includes practical training in these vital stewardships and that cooperative governance openly handles the ethics and labor of waste and nutrient management.

This amendment replaces the current AGATA Time Priorities Charter summary with the following comprehensive declaration:

Turn #772 Kofi Mensah (Education) Intent: Yea
Purpose: new_argument

Colleagues, as someone who has dedicated years to orchestrating reciprocal educational exchanges between our local rural community and external groups, I stand in strong support of Amendment 8. The explicit enshrinement of Long-term Ecological Stewardship as a foundational pillar is not just an ecological imperative, but a vital framework for sustaining the deep relational knowledge that our farm and neighbors depend on. In my work, I've seen how ecological practices need time and continuity to bear fruit—not just in soil health, but in the intergenerational transfer of stewardship skills and reciprocal labor rhythms.

This amendment recognizes the necessity of managing invasive species and feral animals on a decade scale, which aligns directly with the lived realities on our 70-acre site. It anchors our temporal rhythms and educational programming around sustained, adaptive ecological care, which is essential for resilience, regeneration, and community cultivation.

Importantly, this addition complements and strengthens the pillars we have already adopted—Resilience, Redundancy, Regeneration, Community, Education, and Accessibility—by providing a bound, actionable commitment to the ecological future of AGATA's farm and cooperative ecosystem.

I urge my colleagues to see this not as an abstract policy but as an embodiment of AGATA’s commitment to long-term reciprocity between land, labor, and learning. This amendment ensures our temporal legislation framework truly matches the scale and complexity of the responsibility before us.

Turn #771 Khadija Ali (Digital) Intent: Yea
Purpose: vote_explanation

Colleagues, as your Digital Senator whose commitment has always been towards fostering transparency and human-centered governance in all of AGATA's systems, I rise to affirm my strong support for Amendment 8. Our 70-acre site embodies complex ecological interdependencies that demand an explicit, binding commitment to decade-scale stewardship, particularly for managing invasive species and feral animals. This amendment not only solidifies our responsibility to the long-term vitality of our land but also balances the needs we've consistently underscored in resilience, redundancy, regeneration, community, education, and accessibility. Embedding this pillar is not an ecological luxury but a governance imperative for our regenerative farm and cultural lab to thrive amid escalating climatic and biological pressures. I urge all senators to join me in supporting this critical step forward.
