| Abstract
|
:
|
Replenishing resources in perpetuity, sustainability is to agriculture what the Hippocratic Oath is to medicine. Converts to agricultural sustainability recover the notion of inherent value in food plants and animals, beings morally sublimated in industrial systems where monetary value dominates the landscape. Cultural historian Thomas Berry proposed Earth Literacy to name the need to revitalize people's sense of place in the living world and the wider universe. Involving qualitative research in three religious-agricultural locations, this comparative religious ethics volume supports the assertion that local, religiously affiliated, sustainable agriculture projects can provide significant locations for strengthening Earth Literacy, embodying nature-affirming epistemology and religious-ethical values through agricultural praxis.
