Pete Ashton's Notes & Links

I see the UK branch of the culture war has shifted to concern for the fate of family farms. it’s worth remembering that family farms are a direct consequence (if not the actual aim) of the Enclosure of the Commons and are basically hereditary feudalism. So yeah, fuck family farms.

My awakening re family farms came from the 2021 Farmarama podcast series Landed, where the heir of a Highlands farm with an interest in progressive regenerative farming looks into the history of his property, who it was taken from and what was lost in the process.
