Imagine Now is the time
to preserve land ownership, deploy an operational platform for a viable and competitive marketplace with the ability to earn a respectable profit each and every year, provide our frontline caretakers with the knowledge and resources to maintain multi-generational land productivity with healthy soils, protect the data and what is unique to each farming operation, and restore the “backbone” of America!

Imagine Now is the time
is the time for a bold DECENTRALIZATION movement with a variety of diverse products grown, processed, and consumed regionally by family farms, small agribusinesses, local grocers, and cafes owned by your neighbors who in turn reinvest and revive the Main Street of our communities!

Imagine Now is the time
when food labeling and imagery is authentic and transparent and truly serves as actual guiding principles for the type of food products readily available as access to the necessary foods that serve as our first and most important defense to a strong immune system and fuels the vitality of life should never be misleading, manipulated nor classified as a luxury item!

Palindromes has developed and deployed its proven “Farmers Market Corrector” which provides producers an opportunity to cover all of their production costs plus earn a fair and honorable return to their labor, management and investment each and every year. This system of rewarding farmers for their contribution to value is reliable and scalable even during such historic volatile times with trade instabilities, extreme weather implications, unprecedented corporate consolidations and expediated decisions to advance and deregulate gene edited materials. Palindromes has been viewed by current industry leaders as not playing well in the sandbox…well we say GOOD as that means our disruption is working and it is way past due that consumers are no longer viewed as the enemy and our farmers are paid equitably for each acre, each year to produce what markets are truly demanding, only then can a farmer become a price maker as opposed to a price taker!

The Palindromes operational and growth model is a contrast to the current commodity driven market that has too few participants, too many controlling hands in the middle and too many ways to influence price and producer profitability that are not founded in actual supply and demand. In addition, with the high cost of inputs and increased dependency on such inputs, even with yield increases, it does not translate into positive income effects for producers. The industrialized system has resulted in an increased reliance on both credit and risk-based insurance often provided by related corporate entities that also control the inputs. In recent years, it has also required a significant increase in “market facilitator” government support for US farmers and contributed to the ongoing need for subsidies and other public support. You often hear farmers talk about how the subsidies were “eaten at the river”, meaning that the bottom-line profit was not improved as the cost of the inputs, dockages, and price given in the market, actually factors in the subsidies so that it in reality the monies do not end up in the farmer’s pocket nor at work in that local community. This is not a sustainable system as it does not prioritize the importance of our farmers nor encourages production of products consumers demand. Palindromes is bringing forth the opportunity to make a fair living, support the coveted quality of life in a rural community, and encourage farm succession and new, young farmers to enter a dignified and time-honored profession. Our words are heart-felt when we say we are committed to the restoration of “the backbone of America” during critical and volatile times and helping bring our countries foundational values into other developed and developing nations.

Imagine Now is the time
to disrupt our modern-day industrialized food system through the deployment of solution-oriented regionalized projects that protect the dignity of our farms, transition our production practices away from over-consolidated massive acres of genetically manipulated crop monocultures where the intellectual property holders control the downstream markets, and maintain a safe, respected workforce while prioritizing consumer well-being and addressing environmental challenges!

Palindromes isn’t just talking; we are putting sound agroecological principals to work and proving consistent profitability on even the smallest acreages, which makes it possible for the first time in decades for young, minority and first-generation farmers to consider production agriculture as a viable profession. The Palindromes operational model minimizes the financial barriers to entry where for years young people often heard that unless you “inherit it or marry it” farming is not a career option. By reeducating and training communities of early adopters and leaders who share a passion for sound land stewardship, diversified production, and planetary and animal respect throughout the food system, Palindromes is facilitating the transition of our production methods one project, one day, one region at a time. Together, we can and will build a shared understanding and ownership of these man-made problems and create a new food ecosystem that reallocates the risks and rewards equitably among the supply chain while honoring our plant and its inhabitants.

Because Palindromes understands the importance of proving the potential of profitable, replicable and sustainable outcomes in production systems that are rooted in agroecology principals, each of our Palindromes regionalized projects is evaluated and implemented pursuant to these principals and focused on the individual regional strengths. Our leadership is committed to driving this paradigm shift and remaining true to the meaning and intent behind the word “agroecology”. Prior to launching, Palindromes conducted significant global market intelligence, reviewed other comparable models, studied scientific findings from multiple sources and viewpoints and demonstrated profitability in our own production models prior to setting forth the best scalable implementation approach. With leadership and partnerships that are willing to challenge the current powers within the industrial food system and put standards behind words such as “natural”, “pure”, “real”, “family farms”, “sustainable”, and “transparent, Palindromes is determined to demonstrate through actual production, strategic grassroots initiatives and correcting broken markets to prove a different and better way is possible!

Imagine Now is the time
to correct the feed the world narratives and address the underlying issues of industry consolidation, control, greed, bullying, unfair business practices, anti-trust violations and market manipulations as we cannot wait another day to right our wrongs and tackle the sizable undertaking ahead of reorganizing societies, economies, politics, law and policy in a manner that simply does better for EVERYONE as it is evident the current food chain cannot and should not sustain any longer.

Palindromes respects the human and social values within each region where it works and is breaking down the barriers between farmers and consumers through direct relationships and direct markets. When you remove the hands in the middle, it allows for faster strides in correcting a broken market and allows farmers and consumers to coexist in a more symbiotic manner. Palindromes operational system provides the platform to allow small stakeholders to enter into a time-honored profession and compete while addressing the delicate balance of beginning to transition existing western production methods and ideologies and restore the independence and significance of “the family farm”. The reality is even when the land may be owned by the “family farm”, its operators are beholden to an industry that prioritizes their profitability over the health and well-being of other supply chain participants, and as such, production contracts and intellectual property rights are deployed in a manner that has stripped away a family farmer’s independence, innovation and influence regardless of acreage size. Now, that the time has arrived where consumers are driving markets with their purchasing preference the industry is taking that consumer awareness and co-oping the terminology and family farm stories. Mainstream farmers are no better off today than they were in the 1970s as it relates to profitability and this yield-focused over-consolidated marketplace has detrimentally impacted the viability of rural communities and the health of its people while making even developed nations more food insecure. Although production methods may have become less labor intensive for the land owner, it has positioned farmers into a more controlled and volatile state. One of the major challenges of ensuring the integrity of “agroecology” is how does one deploy its principals in the developed west because it is driven by capital as its primary measurement of success.

Palindromes understands the importance of balancing this dynamic and does believe a food system founded in agroecology is possible but it will take time to achieve for larger producers, and as such, it will take a combination of transitional short-term and long-term plans. Palindromes believes transitional and transformative change is possible in the west and has a system to work with producers in developed nations that will allow them to begin reducing their reliance on modern-day industrialized agriculture through a series of regionalized projects that facilitates localized ownership with prioritizing proper wages and standards of living for its workforce. Palindromes is aggressively advancing systems that free farmers from these structures of industrial agricultural, and instead, transitioning into a healthier food ecosystem that prioritizes livelihoods with consistent, achievable profits for farmers regardless of acreage size and location while facilitating a better and more respectful understanding among farmers and consumers; employers and immigrant employees; lenders and producers to name a few. Palindromes is also engaging in domestic and international public policy debates regarding how we better balance our food ecosystem while addressing the feed the world challenges. When at the parent-entity level, the measurement of success is based upon an equitable and socially just system that embraces the importance of quality of life for each participant in the supply chain, it creates a ripple effect in the environment as success brings success one project; one community; one farm at a time.

Imagine Now is the time
to define success by more than monetary outcomes and to address the inequitable system of windfall profits in the hands of a select few as when value is measured by metrics beyond the bottom line then we can truly achieve a harmonious ecosystem that places our Earth and the common good of the life it sustains back in balance!

Imagine Now is the time
we embrace the difficult lessons from this painful and prolonged global pandemic and show respect for the Creator through our collective commitment towards stewardship of creation. Our faith in humanity and sense of morality must lead us to protect the environment and be considerate of future generations of people living on this planet and all that call Mother Earth home!”

where all participants act with a consciousness to bring true equality to our most
basic human needs while loving the earth.

And this is the type of world Palindromes not only imagines but is boldly acting through its
pipelineof “base needs” projects that prioritizes the best interest of our
planet and its inhabitants for today and tomorrow!

Palindromes is putting into practice an audacious social movement to
correct the markets and transfer our modern-day food system.

We can no longer force upon our markets products and policies that infringe upon the demands and concerns of our global citizens nor can we continue to find it acceptable for farmers and its workforce to live with such financial uncertainties while our rural
communities and way of life are shriveling.

To achieve a truly dignified food system for the future it will take an ecosystem
of unifying great minds and leaders across the globe
