The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture (1977) by Wendell Berry is a volume of linked essays that focus on the connections between agricultural practice and the decline of cultural well-being in the United States. It considers the causes and effects of the shift from traditional small-scale practices of the family farm to the large-scale industrial model of agribusiness. Berry links contrasting modes of caring for the soil to a wider range of cultural problems, seeing the industrial model as an attack on the land, rural communities, and society at large.
