Also, this affection for a land one cultivates and sustains seems to ring resonance with David Kline, Amish farmer who wrote the lovely book Great Possessions.
Thank you for this book suggestion! It seems to be an embodiment of a healthy approach that walks a balanced line between excessive conservationism and attention to the human. Per “affection”- I was at that Berry Jeff lecture and think of the truth of that phrase so often!
What an absolute treat. I've just finished the One Straw Revolution which, despite its limitations of application, was very inspiring. We can conserve the environment very well by being lovingly involved in it. I feel one step closer to something very sweet indeed. Thanks for the read.
Thank you Hadden, that makes sense to me. I think I saw Tim Lang on a panel with John Humphries (launch of his The Great Food Gamble) some years ago, so that’s a great reminder. I will add that one to my pile and look out for your future posts.
This is a really interesting review, thank you Hadden. It’s a powerful and optimistic argument that the answers are already embedded in the culture and evident in some practice. The question then is how to cut across (or change) current incentive structures to enable that to come to the fore. I also worry about how self reliant we want or need to be for food as a nation and whether those methods will provide enough?
Thank you for this, Hadden. I'll add this book to my list.
