It is not meant for all of us to farm. But it is meant for all of us to eat. And we all have a right to nutritious food to keep us 'healthy, wealthy and wise.' To the greatest extent possible, this means local food. -- John E. Carroll

A new book from University of New Hampshire’s Agricultural Experiment Station explores the theoretical and practical underpinnings of the growing movement toward sustainable agriculture. “The Wisdom of Small Farms and Local Food: Aldo Leopold’s Land Ethic and Sustainable Agriculture,” the tenth book by Professor of Environmental Conservation John E. Carroll, links the philosophical roots and values of sustainable agriculture as articulated by Leopold to the movement’s practical application in four of the nation’s land-grant universities.
