Reconnecting Lives to the Land

An Agenda for Critical Dialogue
Do prevailing social discourses hinder human connectedness to the land? And,if so, are there ways in which agriculture can guide us to better ways of thinking and living? This book seeks to answer such questions via a focus on dialogue, specifically on one researchers attempts to develop dialogue as a tool for social and cultural change. Throughout the work, dialogue is intentionally focused by means of a metaphorical and literal engagement with agriculture. The book uses agriculture to question whether conventional progress and development, which claims much material success, may be alienating humans from their own ecology and failing in social, psychological, and spiritual ways. It proposes that researchers use agriculture as a framework for discussion, debate, and dialogue on issues of environmental, economic, and cultural significance. The dialogue on agriculture that the book advances also questions whether current discourses within the 'environmental community' are bound to exclusive ideologies and are thus flawed as means of all-inclusive dialogue. The book is accessible to the general public as well as the academic. It was developed to be of particular interest to both the fields of geography and planning, but is also relevant to cultural studies, environmental studies, and spiritual ecology.
