The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture
Description
A searching critique of industrial agriculture, this book explores how farming shapes—and is shaped by—culture, community, family, and spiritual life. It argues that when food production is separated from local knowledge, human responsibility, and care for the land, both people and the natural world suffer. With moral clarity and close attention to work, place, and stewardship, the author examines the costs of an economy driven primarily by efficiency and profit. The result is a lasting call to restore agriculture as a humane, rooted, and communal practice.
