A country can be judged by
how it remembers (and respects) it's past.
Agricultural, domestic, artisanal, craft, culinary, performing arts,
other cultural activities, livelihoods and businesses
Traditions and Traditional Practices
From a former time or culture
That may have fallen “out of use” and / or “out of mind”
The “collective knowledge” was not documented, cultivated, nor
passed on to future generations in a usable form…
◦ Ways-of-Working / Ways-of-Living
◦ Methodologies, Methods, Approaches, Processes, etc.
◦ The application of specific Tools, Training & Skills
◦ On-The-Job and Life Experience
◦ Understanding the broad range of Requirements
◦ Knowledge & Know-How
Or, instructors weren’t able to pass along the “collective knowledge”3

The Lost Arts Collaborative of North America, Inc. is a non-profit
organization with a focus on farm, ranch, and lost arts-related education.
Our mission centers on the protection and preservation of “the lost arts”;
those traditional farming, artisanal, and craft-driven practices that produce
sustainable ecosystems of soils, plants, animals, and people.
The continuance and growth of lost arts benefit the local community and
society in general. To carry out our mission, we develop and deliver farm
education and training in a variety of forms; e.g. structured multi-year course
curricula, seminars, workshops, demonstrations, and hands-on training.
Our G-T-M strategy leverages Google Earth and these 3 core
approaches:
1. Crowd-Funding
2. Crowd-Sourcing
3. Gamification
