Book Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have collected, mulled over, and carefully considered these
essays over a three-year period and chosen them to
provide the scientific, philosophical, economic, and cultural
underpinnings for an emerging movement, conservation-based
agriculture. A number of the essays also influenced a previous
book, Farming with the Wild, a project that inspired a
continental journey in pursuit of two questions. How much
wildnesss can a farm or ranching operation support and still
remain economically viable? And how much agriculture can
take place in an area and still support optimal levels of
biodiversity?

Essay Preview: A Grassland Manifesto

into wild farming. But if one wonders about the fate of the
homeplace, the journey can’t end there. Either way, close or
far, it’s all about grass. On a small scale, sheep ranching at
home in Montana, we’ve watched coyotes watch us as we both
mark territory. Mostly unwatched, mountain lions have
harvested whitetail deer in the back fields and occasionally
lambs in drought years.
