In this second edition of The Spirit of the Soil: Agriculture and
Environmental Ethics, Paul B. Thompson reviews four worldviews that
shape competing visions for agriculture. Productionists have sought
increasing yields-to make two seeds grow where only one grew
before-while traditional visions of good farming have stressed
stewardship. These traditional visions have been challenged by two
more worldviews: a call for a total cost accounting for farming and
an advocacy for a holistic perspective. Thompson argues that an
environmentally defensible systems approach must draw upon all four
worldviews, recognizing their flaws and synthesizing their
strengths in a new vision of sustainable agriculture. This classic
1995 study has been thoroughly revised and significantly expanded
in its second edition with up-to-date examples of agriculture's
impact on the environment. These include extensive discussions of
new pesticides and the effects of animal agriculture on climate and
other areas of the environment. In addition, a new final chapter
discusses sustainability, which has become a dominant idea within
environmental studies and agrarian political philosophy.
