Using England as a case study he shows that the relationship between modernity and agriculture need not be uncomfortable and suggests ways in which the original socialist project can be rejuvenated to make it both more feasible and more attractive. Duncan concludes that no sustainable human future can be conceived unless and until the centrality of agriculture is properly recognized and new economic institutions are developed that will encourage people to take care of their landscapes.AgricultureEconomic aspectsAgricultureEnvironmental aspectsAgricultureSocial aspectsCommunism and agricultureAgricultureEconomic aspects.AgricultureEnvironmental aspects.AgricultureSocial aspects.Communism and agriculture.338.1Duncan Colin A.
