Books on the philosophy of agriculture? I am starting an hydroponic farm but I have doubts about the philosophical implications of removing horticulture from its natural place in the ground, and the effects it could have on a community that no longer has the contact with nature that traditional cultivation requires due to its own nature. It feels like desacrating nature.
>>25210436Seems inevitable though at some point in human history unless (or because) we destroy our planet. We will destroy our environment and run out of room. We will slowly evolve to be less human.Humans have already grown beyond traditional roots for the most part. We are tribal at heart in a globally interconnected world which is already confusing us between what we are, were, and possibly supposed to be.Could one feel close to nature gardening in a spaceship. Would you eventually... run out of dirt? Hydroponics and or composting is coming for your children's children.
