Thompson, Paul B.

SUMMARY

The Spirit of the Soil challenges environmentalists to think more deeply and creatively about agriculture. Paul B. Thompson identifies four 'worldviews' which tackle agricultural ethics according to different philosophical priorities; productionism, stewardship, economics and holism. He examines current issues such as the use of pesticides and biotechnology from these ethical perspectives. This book achieves an open-ended account of sustainability designed to minimise hubris and help us to recapture the spirit of the soil.Thompson, Paul B. is the author of 'Spirit of the Soil Agriculture and Environmental Ethics' with ISBN 9780415086226 and ISBN 0415086221.
