This book presents a spirited defense of agriculture's importance to society, laying out a triple-pronged approach to addressing the rural crisis: better farming, better business, and better living. The author draws on three decades of experience grappling with this problem in his native Ireland, describing both the practical work done there to reorganize the dairy industry and establish agricultural cooperatives, as well as the theoretical principles guiding that work. He asserts that agriculture must be treated not only as an industry and a business, but also as a way of life. As such, he explains that enhancing the social and cultural aspects of rural communitiesâ"particularly by forming business associations and cooperatives that fulfill both economic and social needsâ"is essential to stem the flow of people from the countryside to the big cities.
