About The Berry Center

Mary Berry and Foxhollow farmer Maggie Keith discuss the mission and vision of The Berry Center and why the work we are doing is so important to preserve the legacy of of Wendell Berry and the entire Berry Family. The Berry Center’s desire and the reason for its existence is to work on the problems of industrialism. Not just the symptoms of the problems. The media’s collection of popular emergencies: climate change, species extinction, overpopulation, pollution, water shortage, ill health, pandemic, breakage of “supply chains,” etc. This list leaves out the unpopular emergencies: soil erosion, toxic pollution of farmland and agricultural waterways, the destruction of farm communities. There are many “out of date” emergencies that return to popularity from time to time such as nuclear war and the accumulation of nuclear waste. Our social issues are taking up our time now but will fade as we now know that movements do. We believe that these are not the problem; they are the symptoms of the problem. The problem is industrialism and the industrial economy which ignores and transgresses every limit, denies the issue of scale, discounts every cost, and thrives and grows by consuming, once and for all, the living world.
