Can we still have a back to the land movement?
Answer:
It never stopped and it is increasing in Australia ,South Africa ,i am sure in the USA as well and even in Northern Europe ,wher there is little land to get back to
The people that deal with a lot of these people are in Permaculture ,check out their sites ,there are many
here are a few.
Permaculture is a world recognised earth friendly movement and tends to include people that practice the concept and are active in the field.
the Permaculture designers manual by Bill Mollison,which cost about 40 dollars.

i dont think so. people like you and i might love it, but i think for most it would be very unappealing to give up comforts and such. i think the most likely is a new movement which harmonizes the two, old and new.
A small one, perhaps, but not a large one. There are just too many people and not enough unused land. I think the "hippie" movement in the 70's was the last big back to the land movement we'll see. Since people in general weren't very satisfied with that one, I think people will be less eager to start another one. But I think that there will always be small pockets of people that support such a movement--the Amish are a classic example, but there are many other people who are less extreme examples, especially in rural areas. I grew up in a small town outside a rural area, and I knew several families that valued living independently, without being dependent on resources outside. So they lived on large patches of land and supported themselves with their own gardens and goat milk.
