Фермерская модель мира

Abstract

The article presents the characteristic features of the farmer's picture of the world. Over the course of a long history, it has retained its foundations, determined by the need of people engaged in agricultural work to feel the characteristics of a particular space, protect it and pass on by inheritance not only skills and abilities, but also secret knowledge, legends and traditions about the connection with this particular land. The modern post-industrial economy and the associated management model seek to destroy these connections, to create innovative agro-industrial complexes in the territories occupied by farms, devoid of dependence on the human owner and subordinate to the tasks facing business. This policy, in particular, pursued by the leadership of the European Union, has become the cause of massive farmer protests. At the same time, there is a growing number of people in the world who have environmentally conscious behavior and who, through immersion in farming, strive to get in touch with nature, at least temporarily. The article shows that behind this confrontation between lifestyles, there is a deeper geopolitical gap between adherents of traditional, local and national models of development and supporters of liberal globalization, striving for unification that facilitates the process of global governance. The observed crisis of globalization of this type provides a chance not only to satisfy the socio-economic and political demands of farmers, but also to saturate the farming picture of the world with new images that are in tune with modernity.
