Farming Democracy is a dive into the business and ecology of small-scale food producers across Australia. From farmers in their first year to those more than a decade in, the common thread is clear - these farmers care about participation in the local food economy, they care about the environment and the welfare of the animals they keep, they care about the quality of food they produce, and they care about flavour. Farming Democracy is not only an entertaining and accessible read, it is an authentic and transparent insight into a sector of agriculture that is often overlooked. These farmers' stories demonstrate that care for environment, agriculture, and economy don't need to be mutually exclusive.
