agrarianism
Pro-agriculture political movement
Agrarianism is a social and political philosophy that values rural life, agricultural work, and land ownership as foundations of a healthy society.
It holds that farming communities produce better citizens and stronger moral values than urban, industrial ones.
American agrarianism, associated with Thomas Jefferson, championed the independent small farmer as the ideal democratic citizen.
The term appears in discussions of land reform, sustainable agriculture, and critiques of corporate farming or urbanization.
