Congratulations. I would just like to add to your thoughts that I agree that pretty much anyone can be a Farmer to some degree on a small scale thus giving authenticity to the food they produce. Conversely, the onus is on those of us who look after larger acreages to take on board your thoughts on agrarianism and translate them to the larger scale. Farming a larger acreage is no excuse to compromise welfare or sustainability. All food production is to some extent a compromise on the environment and therefore sustainability. We have to optimise that compromise on whatever scale we operate. Happy New Year This looks like my sort of reading! Congratulations.
