The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture
Hardcover Paperback Kindle Edition"The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture" by Wendell Berry is a book that explores the impact of modern industrial agriculture on American society. Berry argues that the industrialization of agriculture has resulted in a loss of traditional farming practices, a degradation of the environment, and a disconnection between people and the land. He also notes the increasing concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few large agribusiness corporations, which he sees as a threat to democracy. Berry advocates for a return to small-scale, sustainable farming practices, and for greater local control over food production. He emphasizes the importance of a close relationship between farmers and consumers, and the need for a cultural shift that values the land and the people who work it. The book is a call to action for all who care about the future of agriculture and the health of our natural world.
