In this post I\u2019m simply going to reproduce the article. The version here is my original draft which is slightly, but not very, different from the one in the magazine. The magazine version is available\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelandmagazine.org.uk\/articles\/commons-and-households-small-farm-future\">here<\/a>. If you download it, you\u2019ll get some nice pictures and a smarter typeface.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next few posts here I\u2019m going to go through various issues raised in the article in a bit more detail. So I\u2019ll be interested in any comments I might receive here regarding specific aspects of the article, but it may be that I respond to them in more detail as I grapple with the relevant aspects in subsequent posts. Since these blog posts are often reproduced on some other websites, let me just reiterate that your best bet for getting a response from me is to comment directly at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smallfarmfuture.org.uk\/\">www.smallfarmfuture.org.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In many ways the article in The Land scopes out the territory of Parts III and IV of my book\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/smallfarmfuture.org.uk\/?page_id=1637\">A Small Farm Future<\/a><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Part III being \u2018Small Farm Society\u2019 and Part IV being \u2018Towards A Small Farm Future\u2019, in other words, the politics of how a small farm transition may occur. So hopefully it\u2019s a useful preamble to the various posts to come that will focus on these parts of the book.<\/p>\n<p>And so, the article:<\/p>\n<p>It seems likely that the numerous and growing global problems caused by modernization and globalization will devolve into lower energy, less carbon intensive, more labour intensive, more rural and more agrarian ways of life than the ones to which we\u2019re accustomed in the wealthy countries today&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commons and households in a small farm future As I mentioned in my previous post,\u00a0The Land Magazine\u00a0recently published a lengthy article from me, \u2018Commons and households in a small farm future\u2019.
