Wendell Berry Quotes

To Husband Is To Use With Care, To Keep, To Save, To Make Last, To Conserve. Old Usage Tells Us That There Is A Husbandry Also Of The Land, Of The Soil, Of The Domestic Plants And Animals - Obviously Because Of The Importance Of These Things To The Household. And There Have Been Times, One Of Which Is Now, When Some People Have Tried To Practice A Proper Human Husbandry Of The Nondomestic Creatures In Recognition Of The Dependence Of Our Households And Domestic Life Upon The Wild World. Husbandry Is The Name Of All Practices That Sustain Life By Connecting Us Conservingly To Our Places And Our World; It Is The Art Of Keeping Tied All The Strands In The Living Network That Sustains Us.
And So It Appears That Most And Perhaps All Of Industrial Agriculture's Manifest Failures Are The Result Of An Attempt To Make The Land Produce Without Husbandry.
