Agrarianism
Values rural life, small farms and self-reliant communities over industrial and urban growth.
Associated with: Thomas Jefferson, Wendell Berry, the Southern Agrarians.
Agrarianism sits in the near the center part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: slightly state-led and slightly libertarian. The clearest positions are strongly tech-cautious on technology, strongly traditional on culture and strongly nature-first on environment.
