Market Gardeners Training Course
”A crisis of toxicity. A crisis of monoculture.
A crisis of control, of obesity, and of attrition.
the good news is that industrial agriculture is having a hard time now convincing young people to get involved in factory farming. Ever-increasing numbers of new farmers are rooting themselves in sustainable practices, and successfully. they are able to pay the bills and support their families, all the while remaining careful stewards of the land. becoming a farmer is certainly not as clear-cut as becoming a doctor or a lawyer or even a carpenter, but that isn’t stopping a growing and wonderfully dynamic surge of determined, new farmers from doing it anyway.” Joe Salatin”
