The ability to make conscious choices is our great gift. Choice can also be a burden, though — one grown larger now that potent new technologies are being unleashed all around us, and unprecedented change has become a constant. The fact that machine age logic, which has brought us so far, has no clear vision for the future...

...In the 1930s drought returned to the prairie as it had periodically through history. But this time it found something new. The land’s surface had been scored with rows of cuts that spread across vast areas of the landscape. Those furrows disconnected the anchoring network of underground root structures provided by native plants. Instead, the furrows made the way for food crops that were harvested each year and that leave no lasting roots in the soil. Some farmers were by then also using synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. These upset the metabolic balance among native plants and the uncounted millions of other life forms underground — from visible to microscopic — which give rise to the soil’s richness and spongy, absorbent character. When the winds came, it all blew away.
In the Midwest, and elsewhere, the topsoil needed to grow our food continues to disappear faster than natural processes replace it. In response to that Wes Jackson founded the

Land Institute

almost three decades ago.
His aim was to breed an interacting ecology of food plants. Those crops would protect themselves from pests and fertilize the soil in the same way that plants in nature do. And they would grow from the kind of permanent root structures found in natural prairies. The eventual result of that effort would be the development of a “natural systems agriculture.”

The institute began by acknowledging the reality of what Jackson calls “the ecological mosaic.”...
