For more than thirty years, Frederick L. Kirschenmann has explored the ethical and practical principles of sustainable agriculture. An accomplished theologian, philosopher, and third-generation farmer, Kirschenmann is a dynamic leading voice in the dialogue about the challenges of modern agriculture.
Cultivating an Ecological Conscience: Essays from a Farmer Philosopher follows Kirschenmann's personal and professional evolution as a lifelong proponent of new agrarianism. Together with agricultural economist Constance L. Falk, Kirschenmann has compiled a collection of his essential writings on farming, philosophy, and sustainability. In this fascinating blend of personal history, philosophical discourse, spiritual ruminations, and practical advice, Kirschenmann shares candid, valuable insights into the agricultural challenges facing the modern world and the necessity of achieving ecologically sound and responsible stewardship of the land.
Cultivating an Ecological Conscience follows the development of Kirschenmann's long and distinguished career, from childhood lessons learned on the family farm to his inventive approaches for addressing contemporary agrarian issues. More than a mere retrospective, these essays serve as an introduction to the life and work of an extraordinary agricultural thinker.
Though sustainability has been a concern for ages, modern farming practices typically value quantity over quality and profit over ecology, increasing the need for sustainable agriculture and natural cultivation methods. In Cultivating an Ecological Conscience, a modern-day agricultural pioneer addresses the complex challenges inherent in meeting the world's increasing food needs and the many environmental obstacles we must overcome.
