A eutopia set in 2030 when there has been a radical change in population distribution with large cities becoming much smaller with everyone thinking sustainably. The eutopia focuses on sustainable farming using the example of one farm in Kansas. The farming of the twentieth century had badly damaged the land, but by 2030 and new methods of settlement and farming, there had been substantial recovery.
