Description

Explore the complex relationship between farming and the environment in the second edition of The Spirit of the Soil: Agriculture and Environmental Ethics. Published by Routledge, this text provides a deep look into the different philosophies that drive modern agricultural practices. Paul B. Thompson examines four distinct worldviews that create competing visions for the future of farming. You will learn about the productionist drive for higher yields and the traditional focus on stewardship. The book also explores newer perspectives, including the demand for total cost accounting in farming and the move toward a holistic view of the land. This work is essential for those studying how to build an environmentally defensible approach to food production. By analyzing these four perspectives, Thompson suggests that a successful systems approach must integrate these different viewpoints to create a sustainable future for agriculture.
