  in defense of small farms\, local food systems\, and the right to opt out
  of the conventional food paradigm. He relates his dirt-under-the-fingerna
 ils experiences with mischievous humor and based firmly on a lifetime spen
 t communing with ecology\, economics\, and emotion in their full reality\,
  as a farmer. His conviction-based speeches are akin to theatrical perform
 ances\, often receiving standing ovations Salatin holds a BA degree in Eng
