Farming and the Fate of Wild Nature: Essays on Conservation-Based Agriculture
2006, Watershed Media/Wild Farm Alliance
This book takes up where its predecessor, Farming with the Wild, left off. I co-edited it with my long-time colleague, Jo Ann Baumgartner, director of the Wild Farm Alliance. Featuring a wide range of in-depth essays, articles, and other materials by such authors as Aldo Leopold, Wendell Berry, Michael Pollan, and Fred Kirschenmann, this book persuasively demonstrates that farm and ranch operations which coexist with wild nature are necessary to sustain biodiversity and beauty across the landscape. In fact, as this invaluable educational resource demonstrates, both are essential in the challenge of building sane, healthy, and resilient human societies.
