The Land and the Empire makes a bold case for treating agriculture as the nation’s core asset, and for empowering people to live and work on the land.
This nonfiction work surveys how policy, education, and social programs shape farming and rural life. It argues that national welfare depends on a strong, well-supported agricultural sector, not just urban industry. The text calls for a renewed land policy, practical rural education, and a modern “agricultural ladder” that helps people rise from labourer to landowner.
The author links practical ideas with real-world programs, from continuation day schools to school co-operatives, reformatories with farms, and the role of co-operation in building strong rural communities. It also discusses the need for better capital, training, and institutional support to keep farmland productive and prosperous.
Ideal for readers of policy, history, and rural reform who want a grounded, practical view of farming’s future.
