Summary

“Well-being is only real when shared“ is the core idea of this essay. Food and energy crisis as a comprehensive problem requires complex solutions based on personal ethics, developed in creative community environment, applied in municipal, regional and national policy and shared by global population. All the scales are entities, where we can find problems as well as solutions. Taking a journey across several levels of human spatial organization, I emphasize the need of self-sufficiency and sharing as complementary principles. My message is to find a balance between these princples taking into consideration subsidiarity as a key concept.
