Description
-
This chapter from the student-written book "Emerging Perspectives on Religion and Environmental Values in America" discusses the importance of proper soil treatment in agriculture and how to connect with nature and spirituality through growing. It explores proper agricultural practices and agricultural history to do so. Below is the first paragraph of the chapter to introduce the discussion.
"For tens of thousands of years, humans have survived in many environments all around the world. Through thick and thin, humans have been able to fight against predators, weather, and starvation. The unlikely survival of humans can be heavily attributed to one thing: agriculture. With a stable food source, people have been able to do almost everything, live almost anywhere, and support billions of hungry stomachs all across the world. Agriculture is the science of cultivating plants or animals for human use, and it hasn’t changed much since the beginning. Starting around 9500 BCE, humans planted crops for a controlled harvest, planting rice, grains, and chickpeas for stable and healthy societies in the Middle East. Almost 12,000 years later, I continue to perform the same actions in my own backyard, with very little changes."
