This book first explores the contrast between industrial and agrarian philosophies of agriculture and offers historical perspectives on sustainability, examining themes from Thomas Jefferson as well as the growth of ideas over the last 100 years. Thompson concludes by showing why contemporary theories of sustainability cannot afford to neglect agrarian thought. The book demonstrates that in order to change the world, we must first change ourselves.
