Agrarianism

Agrarianism is a political and social belief that supports agriculture (farming). It is also a way of life.

Agrarian political parties are supportive of farmers (particularly small farmers and peasants) and their right to farm. Agrarian politics date back to ancient times, but they gained the most popularity in early America. Thomas Jefferson, William Jennings Bryan, and Robert La Follette supported agrarianism.

Agrarianism's popularity has been steadily declining for the past hundred years.
