Astrid Lindgren is a red flag for proponents of industrial agriculture, in particular animal agriculture. A friend of ours, Tobias Nilsson, called and discussed with my wife, Ann-Helen, whether we should not defend Bullerby farming. Industrial farming will not generate any children’s stories; it will only generate ugliness, destroyed environments and a continued emptying of the farmed landscape. They know it, which is why they have to portray Bullerby farming, or any equally simple, small-scale farming system, as inefficient and people being worked to death. It is a nice story as opposed to the nightmare of industrial agriculture.
