Why every permaculturist should own a scythe | Permaculture Magazine

Here in Britain, as in so much else, we are both ahead and behind: the industrial revolution and enclosure rendered our fields empty and our slums full long before this happened anywhere else, and one of the consequences has been the widespread death both of small-scale agriculture and of the crafts, skills and ways of seeing associated with it.

... For me, the resurgence of interest in scything is a small sign of hope. Whatever the future looks like, this is just one example of how human-scale technologies can answer problems that many people do not even know exist.
