Publisher's summary

From farmer, lawyer, and political activist John Klar comes a bold, solutions-based plan for Conservatives that gets beyond the fatuous pipe dreams and social-justice platitudes of the dominant, Liberal “Green” agenda—offering a healthy way forward for everyone.

While many on the Left have taken up the mantle of creating a “green” future through climate alarmism, spurious new energy sources, and technocratic control, many on the Right continue to deny imminent environmental threats while pushing for unbridled deregulation of our most destructive industrial forces. Neither approach promises a bright future.

In a time of soil degradation, runaway pollution, food insecurity, and declining human health, the stakes couldn’t be higher, and yet the dominant political voices too often overlook the last best hope for our planet—supporting small, regenerative farmers. In fact, politicians on all sides continue to sell out the interests of small farmers to the devastating power of Big Ag and failed “renewable energy” incentives.

It’s time for a new vision. It’s time for bold new agriculture policies that restore both ecosystems and rural communities.

In Small Farm Republic, John Klar, an agrarian conservative in the mold of Wendell Berry and Joel Salatin, offers an alternative that puts small farmers, regenerative agriculture, and personal liberty at the center of an environmental revival—a message that everyone on the political spectrum needs to hear.

Loved this book!

Excellent book for those interested in self sufficiency, sustainability, personal responsibility and independence. A recognition that those things don't conflict with caring for our environment, these things work hand in hand. Must read!

A wake up call

Overall, I thought this is a really interesting book. Some real interesting perspectives, new information I didn’t know some of which I didn’t know. It does get a little wordy and repetitive in places. A couple places I thought I was listening the same thing over again so he does definitely repeat himself I think. But overall good read very informative highly recommend and highly recommend people start localizing getting involvedsupporting their local farms, farmers and getting involved in local politics to govern and run local resources
