دانلود کتاب A Small Farm Future: Making the Case for a Society Built Around Local Economies, Self-Provisioning, Agricultural Diversity, and a Shared Earth

Either we have a small farm future, or we face collapse. Vandana Shiva, author of Oneness vs the 1% and Who Really Feeds the World  In a time of UNCERTAINTY, what would a truly RESILIENT SOCIETY look like? A Small Farm Future is a ground-breaking debut, destined to become a modern classic planting a flag at the intersection between economics, agriculture and society during a time of immense crisis. Farmer and social scientist Chris Smaje makes the case for organising human societies around small-scale, local, agro-ecological farming in order to meet the environmental and political challenges of our times. Drawing on a vast range of sources from across a multitude of disciplines, A Small Farm Future analyses the complex forces that make societal change inevitable, explains how low-carbon, locally self-reliant, agrarian communities can empower us to successfully confront these changes head on and explores the pathways for delivering this vision. Challenging both conventional wisdom and flawed Utopian blueprints, A Small Farm Future offers rigorous original analysis of wicked problems and hidden opportunities in a way that illuminates the path toward functional local economies, effective self-provisioning, agricultural diversity and a shared Earth.
