As Vandana Shiva notes on the cover “Either we have a small farm future, or we face collapse”.
The author is a farmer and former academic and the book is published by Chelsea Green Publishing. Read the full excerpt at: https://www.independentsciencenews.org/commentaries/why-we-need-a-small-farm-future/
