The stylized view of traditional farming. But can we learn from how things used to be done when the approach was much more integrated? The horse not only pulled the plough, it fed the soil. More integrated approaches in modern farming could help achieve food security at the same time as promoting a range of environmental and social goals.

Certainly these developments do not promise to nurture the sense of ‘Mother Nature’ that our forebears felt animating both them and the entire world. With three-quarters of the population of the United States now living in a city and the proportion much the same across much of Europe, her call becomes ever more distant. Many millions of us walk for most of the time on concrete paths amid forests of concrete and steel. We do most of our living and working housed in breeze-blocks and glass and breathing air in offices that is conditioned, not fresh. We buy our food from the supermarket, ready-washed, ready-chopped, ready-packed, all of it vacuum-sealed in plastic. Even the supermarkets are destined to be places of complete disconnection. It is quite possible even now to shop without ever speaking to anybody. Shopping online, of course, guarantees it.
