You believe that small-scale sustainable agriculture will lead to a healthier, self-sufficient, and environmentally responsible way of life.
Agrarianism is a political and social philosophy that values rural society as superior to urban society, the independent farmer as superior to the paid worker, and sees farming as a way of life that can shape the ideal social values. It stresses the superiority of a simpler rural life as opposed to the complexity of city life, and it idealizes the farmer and the farming lifestyle. Agrarianism is deeply connected to the land, with a strong emphasis on the importance of nature and the cultivation of the soil.
The roots of agrarianism can be traced back to ancient times. In the classical…

If your community started a shared garden, how do you think it would affect neighborhood relations?
@9JF6C6MRepublican3mos3MO
no one would use it and the money would go to waste
@9JF6BB53mos3MO
Good, be more communicative and naturally healthy.
@9JF6CR5Republican3mos3MO
I think it would help the community come together.
@9JF6B2Q3mos3MO
People could be able to get food from it and support relationships.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
If you were to start a garden today, what would be your first plant, and what does that choice say about you?
@9J2XJSB4mos4MO
I would plant some kind of herb, because I'm pagan and would use them for magick while relying on someone else for food because I don't trust myself to grow it right.
@9J36T2M4mos4MO
If you were to grow something that won't be useful to you in the long run, you rely on people too much. It's not a matter of whether or not you trust yourself, you have no initiative to do so.
@9HT622J4mos4MO
Corn, can be made into many other food products and fuel. That choices says I'm a survivor.
@9J2Y83M4mos4MO
the first plant i would plant in my garden would be papalos which comes from where i am from and my ethnicity
@9J2X6DW 4mos4MO
I would pick potatoes as they are high in lots of nutrients. This choice explains a lot about how I value food.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What would be the biggest challenge for you in adopting a lifestyle that includes daily agricultural activities?
The biggest challenge for me in adopting an agrarian lifestyle is the time commitment that comes with a focus on subsistence farming. Being a senior in high school, the amount of schoolwork I get takes up a minority of my time once I get home from school. Not to mention the work for clubs and extracurriculars that also take up a significant portion of time. At this moment I know I along with many other high schoolers don’t even get the recommended hours of sleep because of our workload throughout the day, adding on the responsibility of growing our own food and tending to our own farms may just not be realistic.
@9JH497D3mos3MO
It would be hard to find a environment were I live that is truly "simple" and does not have any outside stressors or factors playing.
@9JH3F2Y3mos3MO
The biggest challenge would be finding time to do soo.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What emotional benefits do you think could arise from tending to a community orchard or garden?
@9KDMSC72mos2MO
I don't think that a farmer is superior to a paid worker. They both work, get paid, and pay bills. Just because someone chooses to do something else with their career does not mean that they are superior.
@9KHL6YZ 2mos2MO
While I don't believe that one person is more significant than the other, there is definitely a difference between the two, especially when one can be easily replaced. Working on a community garden would better communication and ties among the community, unifying us and making us stronger.
@9KDMRFK2mos2MO
More community socialization and togetherness could be a result of community gardens.
@9KDM6ZC2mos2MO
I think it could get us more connected to the environment allowing us to grow as a community and keep the world healthier.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Have you ever felt disconnected from the natural world, and how might hands-on agriculture help bridge that gap?
@9JHPJTQRepublican3mos3MO
Hands on agriculture all over America should be required.
@9JHPCZF3mos3MO
It will produce healthier and better quality products.
@9JHNSVG3mos3MO
No, but I think hands on agriculture could reduce negative environmental and ethical effects.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How might prioritizing agriculture over technology shape future generations?
@9HGBRP4Progressive5mos5MO
Less artificials in food, and more rights to the blue collar working class in society.
@9HGLT6T5mos5MO
Technology can help us with almost everything we just need to make sure the keep it under control.
@9HGLH6B5mos5MO
it would help with climate change and make a world more natural
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Would you give up modern city conveniences for a self-sufficient life on a farm?
@9HDQKNX5mos5MO
Not sure, but I don't agree with people dismissing the needs of our planet.
@9HDS95F5mos5MO
i dont think i can give up internet, itll help me sure but ill miss youtube n **** and ill get tired
@9HDQQG7Progressive5mos5MO
No I would not because living on a farm can block access to many things that are essential for a good quality life.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What are some lessons that only hands-on experience with farming can teach?
@9J2533T4mos4MO
Farming teaches you that nature is a perfect and delicate balance; that whatever you do to the soil good or bad it will come back to you sooner or later. Farming is not a project schedule; there are many more variables in your crops that can affect the size, growth speed, taste, or quality of your produce. Farming is getting in touch with our planet again; is hearing Gaia´s voice again, trying to understand what she says. There is a very deep and lovely feeling you get when you harvest your produce: it is simply amazing how -from a very small seed- you got to have beautiful, tasty, and healthy vegetables. And, if you find a way to combine your diverse knowledge with farming, in order to produce better and healthier veggies, with no chemical stuff oh boy, you are in heaven.

The true cost of food
what nutrition really looks like
How to understand signs/signals of nature
@9J24R654mos4MO
You can actually do something without the machines, we won't forget our ways.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Imagine a world where everyone dedicated an hour a day to gardening; how would this impact society and the environment?
@9HN63R3Libertarian 5mos5MO
Growing your own healthy food would encourage people to eat healthier and be self-sufficient. This would ultimately benefit the world.
@9HP34LC5mos5MO
more food, more people spending less time on their phones
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Should the education system emphasize agrarian skills and knowledge for future generations?
Yes, it teaches people how to take care of themselves and create for our economy.
@9H58P296mos6MO
Absoloutley, trade is an underrated and valuable skill for the benefit of this country
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
If you were to swap a day of screen time with a day of farm work, what do you think the impact on your well-being might be?
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Would you consider reducing your digital footprint to increase your environmental one; how so?
@9KBKW57Independent 2mos2MO
This question is crazy because as technology advances and people are educated, they don’t want to live in closed areas where people are cut, ultra religious and anti-science. Let people live where they want to live.
@9KBK5NK2mos2MO
I love gardening, I do not even really have to much of a digital footprint.
