AGRARIANISM AND THE GOOD SOCIETY Culture of the Land A Series in the New Agrarianism This series will be devoted to the exploration and articulation of a new agrarianism that considers the health of habitats and human communities together. It will demonstrate how agrarian insights and responsibilities can be worked out in diverse fields of learning and living: history, science, art, politics, economics, literature, philosophy, religion, urban planning, education, and public policy. Agrarianism is a comprehensive worldview that appreciates the intimate and practical connections that exist between humans and the earth. It stands as our most promising alternative to the unsustainable and destructive ways of current global, industrial, and consumer culture.
