This paper takes the academically unorthodox form of personal correspondence. This method, of letters between two educators writing to one another across the distance of two continents and different experiences, seeks to create an inclusive, confessional tone, one that invites the reader to get closer to the lived experience of those struggling within the educational and environmental crises. Critically, this correspondence also seeks to open discussion about the difficult demands of state secondary and tertiary education. The authors explore issues regarding their denuded experiences of working in formal education settings while bearing witness to environmental degradation and ecological collapse. In light of their exploration, the authors argue for an ‘agrios’, a wilder, more expansive polis, coupled with more ecologically-inclusive governance, to address the current potentially catastrophic political leadership that has seemingly turned away from ecological responsibility. This paper culminates in direct letters that focus on a series of practical proposals for action and on four premises for developing agriocy – the policy that supports the agrios/agriocity.

本文采用学术上非正统的个人通信形式。这种方法，是由两个教育者在两大洲的距离和彼此不同的经历之间互相写信，旨在营造一种包容，自白的语调，以期使读者更接近那些在教育和教育领域挣扎的人们的生活经历。环境危机。至关重要的是，这种信件还试图就国家中等和高等教育的艰巨需求展开讨论。作者探讨了有关他们在正规教育环境中受剥夺的经历的问题，同时见证了环境恶化和生态崩溃。根据他们的探索，作者主张建立一个“荒野”，更狂野，更广阔的城市，以及更具生态包容性的治理，解决当前似乎已从生态责任转向的潜在灾难性政治领导。本文最后以直接信函结尾，这些信函着重于一系列实用的行动建议，并在发展农业的四个前提下-支持农业/农业的政策。
