Complexity,interdependence,and simultaneity are fundamental elements of the sustainable model,which is clearly biological rather than mechanical in nature.For such systems,size and form must follow function.In biological systems,individual elements must conform to their ecological niche.Big,specialized farms will be sustainable only if their "niche" is equally large and homogeneous.It will take "mind work," not physical or economic muscle,for farmers of the future to find a niche where they carry out their function by means that are ecologically sound,economically viable,and socially responsible.
Why should we stop promoting the industrial paradigm of farming?-- because there is growing evidence it is obsolete,old fashion,out of date,and may well be doing more harm than good.Why should we stop promoting the industrialization of agriculture?-- because a new post-industrial model is emerging which deserves at least a share of our time and attention.
Many of my colleagues will respond that we do not promote industrialization or any other particular model of farming.But,we do.The agricultural establishment,including agricultural colleges,may not intentionally promote industrialization,but it is none the less promoted by their attitudes and actions.
Barker points out that successful old paradigms,such as industrialization,often collect a host of avid,but unwitting,advocates.The advocates tend to apply their industrial paradigm -- unconsciously,spontaneously -- to any problem that arises.They separate,sequence,analyze and organize as a matter of standard operating procedure.Integration,simultaneity,synthesis and spontaneity are missing from their mental problem-solving tool box.Thus,they are automatically led to specialization,never to synergism,as their logical solution,regardless of the nature of the problem.In their minds,there are no logical alternatives.
But in fact,there are logical alternatives to industrialization.Success in the future will require new ways of thinking.I return to Peter Drucker's Post Capitalistic Society and quote:"In the knowledge society into which we are moving,individuals are central.Knowledge is not impersonal,like money.Knowledge does not reside in a book,a databank,a software program; they contain only information.Knowledge is always embodied in a person,carried by a person; created,augmented,or improved by a person; applied by a person; taught by a person,and passed on by a person.The shift to the knowledge society therefore puts the person
复杂性,互助依存和同时发生是可持续的模型的基本的要素,性质上显然是生物学而不是机械的.对这样的系统来说,尺寸和形式必须跟随功能.在生物学的系统里,个别的要素必须与他们的生态的适当的位置相符.大,专业化农场将可持续只要他们的
