Description

The Spirit of the Soil by Paul B. Thompson presents a second edition exploring four competing worldviews that shape modern agricultural practice and environmental responsibility. Thompson examines productionist approaches focused on maximising yields, traditional stewardship-based farming philosophies, total cost accounting frameworks, and holistic perspectives on agriculture. The author argues that a defensible systems approach to agriculture and environmental ethics must integrate insights from all four worldviews, offering readers a comprehensive examination of how different philosophical perspectives influence farming decisions, land management, and ecological impact. This Routledge publication serves professionals, students, and practitioners in agricultural science, environmental ethics, and soil science seeking to understand the philosophical foundations underlying contemporary agricultural debates and sustainable farming practices.

Key Features

The Spirit of the Soil examines four distinct worldviews that compete to shape agricultural philosophy and environmental stewardship in modern farming.

Paul B. Thompson compares productionist approaches that emphasise yield maximisation with traditional stewardship visions of good farming.

This second edition addresses newer frameworks including total cost accounting for agriculture and holistic environmental perspectives.

The Routledge publication integrates multiple philosophical approaches into a systems-based foundation for environmentally defensible agriculture.

The book provides essential reading for professionals in soil science, agricultural ethics, and environmental management seeking philosophical grounding.
