I think this article in The Economist magazine about young people returning from cities to work the land may strike a chord with many here.




Let me know what you think!

That is a really fascinating article, and I like to hope, indicates a realisation that for some, there is more to life than chasing a huge salary. Having access to family land helps, but none of the groups featured are making significant profits, but are enjoying a better quality of life and producing food for local people. I think there is a growing realisation among younger people that the dream they have been sold of higher salaries as a result of having a degree etc is really all a hollow promise, and for some, starting their own venture is a more fulfilling way of living.
