Wendell Berry has been called a prophet of the land informing us of the dire results to come from an agricultural use policy emphasizing an “internal accounting” (production) to the exclusion of understanding the effects of production on the land itself and on associated communities. It is only recently that scientists have begun the task of an “external accounting” where it becomes possible to attach a monetary value to the use and disuse of the world’s ecological resources.
