I Believe That A Revolution Can Begin

Many People Think That When We Practice Agriculture, Nature Is Helping Us In Our Efforts To Grow Food. This Is An Exclusively Human-centered Viewpoint... We Should Instead, Realize That We Are Receiving That Which Nature Decides To Give Us. A Farmer Does Not Grow Something In The Sense That He Or She Creates It. That Human Is Only A Small Part Of The Whole Process By Which Nature Expresses Its Being. The Farmer Has Very Little Influence Over That Process... Other Than Being There And Doing His Or Her Small Part.

When A Decision Is Made To Cope With The Symptoms Of A Problem, It Is Generally Assumed That The Corrective Measures Will Solve The Problem Itself. They Seldom Do. Engineers Cannot Seem To Get This Through Their Heads. These Countermeasures Are All Based On Too Narrow A Definition Of What Is Wrong. Human Measures And Countermeasures Proceed From Limited Scientific Truth And Judgment. A True Solution Can Never Come About In This Way.

Before Researchers Become Researches They Should Become Philosophers.

Unless People Can Become Natural People, There Can Be Neither Natural Farming Nor Natural Food.

If A Farmer Does Abandon His Or Her "tame" Fields Completely To Nature, Mistakes And Destruction Are Inevitable.
