Farming Democracy: Radically Transforming the Food System from the Ground Up
AFSA’s groundbreaking new book, Farming Democracy, opens the farm gates, opens the books, and opens our hearts to the community to let the world see the true work, rewards, and costs of farming.
Farming Democracy tells the story of 8 diverse Australian small-scale farms doing things differently, working for a ‘new normal’ in agriculture that is fair to soil, water, animals, and people. These farmers are building regenerative, agroecological systems that are viable in an epoch that has seen a sharp decline in the number of farms globally. For veteran growers, aspiring farmers, and everyone who wants to know more about growing alternatives to the industrialised food system.
