Together these promote sustainable farming and land stewardship, even as they valorize farming as a vital locus for cultivating virtue. In contrast to the celebration of libertarian ideals and the general distrust of government regulation characterizing the writings of many prominent modern agrarian writers who follow the tradition of Jefferson and the Southern agrarians, An Agrarian Proposal explores how faith-based commitments shared among colonial New England's settlers resulted in resource distribution and stewardship practices that created a sustainable approach to land and resource management. An Agrarian Proposal adds to contemporary considerations of the ethics and practices of agrarianism by exploring a time and place where regulation was deemed a necessary means of fostering good land stewardship and where a faith-based communitarianism challenged individualism to promote sustainable land practices by individuals farming New England's rocky and isolated fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRebecca Judge is Professor of Economics and Environmental Studies and holds the Husby-Johnson Endowed Chair of Business and Economics, St. Olaf College.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Charles Taliaferro is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and Oscar and Gertrude Boe Overby Professor Emeritus, St. Olaf College.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 102\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 02, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42641998479456,"sku":"9781666710090","price":29.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/UTRxVEZjNzhZSGJ2NjNpRmVCUXpudz09.webp?v=1773186535","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/an-agrarian-proposal-new-england-agrarianism-in-service-of-the-common-good-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
