Wendell Berry’s “The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture” (1977) is a seminal work that critiques the industrialization of agriculture and its profound impacts on American society. Berry, a farmer, poet, and environmentalist, argues that the shift from small-scale, family-run farms to large agribusinesses has not only degraded the land but also eroded the cultural and spiritual fabric of rural communities. Berry’s prose is both eloquent and impassioned, weaving together themes of environmental stewardship, community, and the intrinsic value of sustainable farming practices. He contends that true farming is a cultural and spiritual discipline, deeply connected to the health of the land and the well-being of its people. The book remains relevant today, as it calls for a return to more mindful and ecologically sound agricultural practices.
