Wendell Berry quotes about sustainable agriculture.
"What works *poorly* in agriculture — monoculture, for instance, or
annual accounting — can be pretty fully explained, because what works
poorly is invariably some oversimplifying *thought* that subjugated
nature, people, and culture. What works well ultimately defies
explanation because it involves an order that in both magnitude and
complexity is ultimately incomprehensible." Wendell Berry
