Agrarian society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An agrarian society is one that is based on agriculture as its prime means for support and sustenance. The society acknowledges other means of livelihood and work habits but stresses on agriculture and farming, and was the main form of socio-economic organisation for most of recorded human history.

This was the common way for Medieval European countries to gain wealth. Change in agrarian practices occurred first in England in the 1700s, then later on the continent.

Only one modern example of a national agrarian experiment exists, the tyrannical efforts of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia from 1975 to their deposition by Vietnam in 1979. Sub-national agrarian movements include the Amish and Mennonites.

Agrarian society?

Yes. I wish I lived in an agrarian society. I think the ideology of techno-industrial utopianism is even more destructive to humanity than the preposterous myths of religion.

I grew up in an Agrarian Society when I was little. There might not be much techy stuff there and there's hardly any big malls and stores but it was a simple and quiet life, if you prefer that type of lifestyle.

Sometimes I do. At times I would love to give all this crap...cell phones, cable bills, gas prices, rent, insurance...blah blah blah...to just live in an actual community where people communicated through talking, they cared about your well-being. Simplicity. But then again I think its a fad...a fleeting feeling. Am I really ready to give up jumping in my car and going where I want? Delivery pizza? and so on. Yeah I think it would be nice for a time...but I am not sure about the rest of my life.
