From his 66-year farm, food, and family experience, Joel Salatin explains why thousands of Americans are selling their urban homes, cashing out retirement funds, and heading to the country. The exodus is both a goodbye to one life and an embrace of another. When society breaks down, people head away from the city. For food security, health, and satisfaction, homesteads offer a haven of hope and help when much seems hopeless and helpless. While fear motivates people to change, only faith sustains. This book offers multiple reasons for modern homestead living. Some are: • Secure, stable, safe food. • Healthy, happy children. • Superior immune function. • Community and connections. • Meaningful work. • Creation stewardship immersion. In his 16th book, Salatin offers the homestead why to those contemplating the jump, those trying to dissuade their friends from jumping, and those who regret having jumped. Despite its sweat and disappointments, homesteading offers incalculable benefits that feed the soul, soil, and spirit. Homestead Tsunami digs deep into the ethos of today’s best pension plan: living and learning proximate to people who know how to build things, repair, things and grow things. A better life awaits.

Joel je celostátně uznávaným řečníkem o ekologickém zemědělství a „vztahovém marketingu“. Jeho posláním je rozvíjet zemědělské podniky s vylepšenými emocionálními, ekonomickými a environmentálními aspekty a usnadňovat jejich replikaci po celém světě. Součástí tohoto cíle je produkce nejlepšího jídla na světě. Joel prosazuje posun v zemědělském paradigmatu, který vidí rostliny a zvířata jako partnery, nikoli jako výrobní jednotky, a podporuje nechat je naplnit svou přirozenou roli s plným a jedinečným projevem, přičemž výchozím bodem pro chov zvířat je nechat zvíře projevit svou jedinečnost.

Immer wieder tauchen sie in den Medien auf: erschütternde Bilder und Berichte von grausamer Massentierhaltung, Bienensterben, Pestizidverseuchung. Und es wird immer mehr Menschen klar, dass es so nicht weitergehen kann. Gottes Schöpfung ist gefährdet, die Welt, die er dem Menschen anvertraut hat. Öko-Farmer Joel Salatin weiß genau, wovon er spricht. Seit vielen Jahren betreibt er eine Farm, auf der er alles praktisch lebt, was er vertritt. Er ist überzeugt: Die „Gebrauchsanweisung“ für nachhaltige Landwirtschaft hat Gott in der Bibel höchstpersönlich geliefert, und wenn wir seine überraschend vielfältigen Prinzipien befolgen, ist eine gute, gesunde Nutzung der Ressourcen zum Wohl aller möglich. Allgemein verständlich, mit viel Humor, aber auch scharfer Kritik nimmt Joel Salatin den Leser mit auf eine faszinierende Reise, die ganz neu inspiriert, Gottes Schöpfung in jeder Hinsicht zu respektieren, zu genießen und zu feiern.

Twenty years ago Joel Salatin wrote You Can Farm, which has launched thousands of farm entrepreneurs around the world. With another 20 years of experience under his belt, bringing him to the half-century mark as a full-time farmer, he decided to build on that foundation with a sequel, a graduate level curriculum. Everyone who reads and enjoys that previous work will benefit from this additional information. In those 20 years, Polyface Farm progressed from a small family operation to a 20-person, 6,000-customer, 50-restaurant business, all without sales targets, government grants, or an off-farm nest egg. As a germination tray for new farmers ready to take over the 50 percent of America's agricultural equity that will become available over the next two decades, Polyface Farm in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley stands as a beacon of hope in a food and farming system floundering in dysfunction: toxicity, pathogenicity, nutrient deficiency, bankruptcy, geezers, and erosion. Speaking into that fear and confusion, Salatin offers a pathway to success, with production, profit, and pleasure thrown in for good measure.

In a day when beef is assailed by many environmental organizations and lauded by fast-food chains, a new paradigm to bring reason to this confusion is in order. With farmers leaving the land in droves and plows poised to "reclaim" set-aside acres, it is time to offer an alternative that is both land and farmer friendly.Beyond that, the salad bar beef production model offers hope to rural communities, to struggling row-crop farmers, and to frustrated beef eaters who do not want to encourage desertification, air and water pollution, environmental degradation and inhumane animal treatment. Because this is a program weighted toward creativity, management, entrepreneurism and observation, it breathes fresh air into farm economics.

America’s average farmer is sixty years old. When young people can’t get in, old people can’t get out.

This book empowers aspiring young farmers, midlife farmers, and nonfarming landlords to build regenerative, profitable agricultural enterprises.
