"Now, as then - we see the abstract values of an industrial economy, preying upon the native productivity of land and people.
The fur trade was only the first establishment on this continent of a mentality of whose triumph is it's catastrophe.
My purposes in beginning with this survey of history are:
This question, now that the corporate revolution has so determinedly invaded the farmland returns us to our oldest crisis. "
Quote from "The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture" - Wendell Berry
This book is as old as I am, yet the arguments and observations are more relevant than ever.
Because it's important to understand history.
While history doesn't rhyme, it sure does sound familiar at times.
The show began with a quote by Wendell Berry written over 40 years ago
The mentality of exploitation appears to be a "newer" thought - a western thought.
A thought developed in a culture that rose from the roots of an agricultural society, perhaps.
Monoculture of land becomes representative in the thought process of the people.
Monoculture of the mind.
People change.
Permaculture is the solution.
How do we lead a Permaculture based life?
