Can small countries and small (and diverse) farms offer solutions to the crises we face? How can we move away from the ‘bigger is better’ narrative that underpins so much of farming today? And what are the key values we need in future policy and legislation to support a small-farm future? Authors Chris Smaje and Jane Davidson discuss these big questions, and more, in a conversation chaired by Sue Pritchard, Chief Executive of the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission. With the enormous challenges of climate change, economic inequality, biodiversity loss, and more, the conversation delves into the myriad possibilities that small farms offer when imagining our future.
