The Agricultural Crisis as a crisis of culture

In this selection, Wendell Berry, emphasises on the transition of farming communities of yesterday to the community-killing agriculture of today. Science and technology has replaced traditional sustainable farming with a culturally destructive manner of agriculture.  Today's culture has shifted agricultural food production  from good quality to quantity. If today's culture remain disconnected as it is with nature, the healthy farming culture will slowly disintegrate and lead to a catastrophe. The agricultural system of today is switching farmers' healthy farming etiquette to money oriented agricultural etiquette.Therefore, since culture, agriculture and nature are interdependent, we  need to adopt respectful measures without affecting any of the members connected in this interdependency.
