"From a pioneer of the regenerative agriculture movement, a memoir-meets-manifesto on betting the farm on a better future for our food, animals, land, local communities, and our climate. Featured in Food and Country, premiering at Sundance 2023. Raised as a fourth-generation farmer, when Will Harris inherited White Oak Pastures he was a full-time commodity cowboy who played hard and fast with every tool the system offered - chemicals, antibiotics, steroids, and more. His ancestors had built a highly profitable, conventionally-run machine, but over time he found himself disgusted with the excess, cruelty, and smalltown devastation this system entailed. So he bet the farm on forging a different way of doing things. One that works with nature not against it, and bridges the quickly widening delta between consumers and their food. Armed with tenacity, conviction and an outsized tolerance for risk, Harris called his approach "radical traditional" and it made him the pioneer of regenerative agriculture long before the phrase existed. At once an intimate, multi-generational memoir and a microcosm of American agriculture at large, A BOLD RETURN TO GIVING A DAMN offers a pathway back to producing food the right way. At a time when food supply chains are straining, climate-induced catastrophes are playing havoc with harvests, and concern around who owns America's farmland are more prescient than ever, Will Harris urges us to consider where the food we eat really comes from, and to re-connect to the places and people who raise what we eat each day. With keen storytelling, a good dose of irreverence, and an unflinching willingness to speak truth to power, Harris shows us why it's never been more important to know your farmer than now"--

Dès 1917, spontanément, les paysans russes se soulèvent contre le tsarisme. Ils vont ainsi contribuer à la victoire des bolcheviks. Mais si les paysans espéraient ainsi jouir enfin librement des terres confisquées aux grands propriétaires, les bolcheviks, eux, rêvaient de les collectiviser, de contrôler les campagnes dont dépendaient le ravitaillement des villes et le salut de la révolution. Ce « malentendu » historique s’accompagne d’une incompréhension mutuelle. Dans un monde rural réfractaire au changement, déshérité, isolé, s’est développée une civilisation paysanne originale et autonome. Elle va de l’art de construire une isba à une conception du droit de propriété et à une pratique du christianisme tout à fait particulières. Pour les bolcheviks, cette civilisation n’est que barbarie et crétinisme. Ils lancent contre elle des « croisades culturelles », des missionnaires athées, de jeunes communistes qui « liquideront » l’analphabétisme et célèbreront dans les villages le 1er mai, la « Trinité prolétarienne ». Pour briser les résistances, le régime finira par procéder à la collectivisation forcée des campagnes. Ce grand tournant dans la vie paysanne allait être fatal à la civilisation rurale traditionnelle. Pendant deux décennies – 1920-1940 – l’Ancien et le Nouveau s’affrontent et coexistent. La fin de la Russie paysanne et les débuts de la Russie communiste, telle est la trame de ce Communisme au village. Vie quotidienne des paysans russes de la Révolution à la Collectivisation.
