About

Philosophy and theology pay little attention to agriculture. Agricultural scientists and policymakers pay little attention to philosophy and theology. But this compartmentalisation is to their detriment. What does agriculture show us about the nature of the human? How can philosophy and theology contribute to a richer understanding of agriculture? Getting agriculture right requires getting humanity right, and vice-versa. Separating them makes it impossible to imagine and pursue a future for human life on Earth.
