Agriculture Quotes

When you place your hand in the soil, you feel the pulse of the earth. That is agriculture.

It's not merely work; it's an ancient dialogue between humanity and nature. It's the seed you plant today to feed generations tomorrow. It's inexhaustible patience and knowledge passed down from generation to generation. It's seeing life unfold before your eyes, from a tiny seed to a golden ear of grain.

Without it, there would be no food, no civilization, no existence for us as humans.

Every one of these quotes is a spark of that deep relationship: the relationship between humanity and the earth, sustenance, and sustainability.

Over 80% of the poor are people who have small plots of land and grow their own food and they don't grow enough to sell much into the marketplace. So they will be hit hard by the worst in climate. They really get hit hard starting in the 20-year time frame and thereafter.

Every time somebody has thought of relief for the farmer it has been to make it so he could borrow more money. What he needs is some way to pay back. Not some way to borrow more.

Capitalist agricultural production prevents the return to the soil of its elements consumed by man in the form of food and clothing; it therefore violates the conditions necessary to lasting fertility of the soil. By this action it destroys at the same time the health of the town labourer and the intellectual life of the rural labourer.

A Song of the good green grass! A song no more of the city streets; A song of farms - a song of the soil of fields. A song with the smell of sun-dried hay, where the nimble pitchers handle the pitch-fork; A song tasting of new wheat, and of fresh-husk'd maize.
