Anyone who thinks about ecology in the USA knows Wendell Berry. He is regarded as a major thinker of the environmental movement in America and remains a central figure in the debate over the excesses of industrialized agriculture and globalized economy. What fascinates about Wendell Berry's thinking is the unique perspective rooted in his own way of life. Growing up on his family's farm in Kentucky and still a farmer today, he is deeply rooted in traditional agriculture. At the same time, he is a professor of literature and an author of essays, poetry, and novels. Berry's commitment—as a farmer, writer, and environmental activist—focuses on an agricultural culture that combines ecological farming with small-scale structures and economic regionalism. This makes him a staunch opponent of agribusiness.
