As part of a community of farmers trying to create a food system that is regenerative, localized, collectivized, and decentralized, we are committed to our role in AFSA (Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance) and how this organisation and community of farmers, eaters and advocates works together to make true and lasting positive change. This is a book put together by a collective of farmers involved, sharing their own stories into agriculture.

�Farming Democracy is a dive into the business and ecology of small-scale food producers across Australia. From farmers in their first year to those more than a decade in, the common thread is clear - these farmers care about participation in the local food economy, they care about the environment and the welfare of the animals they keep, they care about the quality of food they produce, and they care about flavour. Farming Democracy is not only an entertaining and accessible read, it is an authentic and transparent insight into a sector of agriculture that is often overlooked. These farmers� stories demonstrate that care for environment, agriculture, and economy don�t need to be mutually exclusive.�
