Full Description
'If you want real food, food security and a truly biodiverse countryside, please, please read this book.' John Lewis-Stempel, author of Meadowland
'[A] timely response to those who are constructing a dystopia of farms without farmers, food without farms, while promoting more industrialisation of the food system.' Vandana Shiva, activist and author of Terra Viva

Named the Inc. Non-Obvious Book Awards 'Best Books of 2023'
Saying NO to a Farm-Free Future is a powerful and timely response to the ongoing search for our sustainable food future.
In the face of ongoing food, energy and environmental crises, Chris Smaje, farmer and social scientist, has become one of the most prescient voices on the future of farming. In his new book, he explores the false promises and unconsidered consequences of food techno-solutions advocated by ecomodernists like George Monbiot, arguing that we should not divorce ourselves from rural living and must embrace a future that includes farming.
Saying NO to a Farm-Free Future passionately argues for scaling up the pro-nature principles of low-energy, biodiverse and agroecological farming, and for putting the power back into the hands of small-scale farmers and producers, and the local communities that support them.
'A case for a rural agricultural landscape that delivers food without wrecking the planet'. Jake Fiennes, author of Land Healer
'Everyone in the food business needs to read this ... lively and superbly written polemic.' Joel Salatin, co-founder of Polyface Farm
