密苏里大学、密歇根州立大学和内布拉斯加州大学之间开展了一项为期5年的合作项目，旨在通过可持续农业为农村社区自我发展提供新的机会，结果喜忧参半。这是因为社区成员不理解可持续发展的原则，也因为推广教育系统不愿意与“边缘”群体（如有机农民、小农和工厂化养猪场的反对者）合作，从而破坏与现有社区和农业领导人的密切联系。未来促进可持续农业的努力应由已经致力于变革的现有农村倡导团体提供资金，并应侧重于向农村社区的人们传授可持续农业和发展的原则。社会正处于一个巨大的转型期。“信息时代”和“新经济”等术语错误地将这种转变归因于技术的变化，而实际上，是思维的变化造成了这些技术的变化。这种新的思维方式反映了一种整体的世界观，它与工业时代的还原论世界观根本不同，其根源在于量子物理学和混沌理论，而不是机械物理学和统计学。这种新的思维方式正在从根本上改变社会，因为人们意识到可持续性不是牺牲，而是一种重视社会和生态目标以及经济目标的生活质量。（TD）由EDRS提供的复制件是由原始文件所能制作的最好的复制件。通过可持续农业维持农村社区*约翰·伊克德名誉教授00密苏里农业经济大学美国教育部教育研究和改进办公室教育资源信息中心（ERIC）文件已从原始个人或组织处得到复制。0为了提高再现质量，做了一些小改动。本文件中陈述的观点或意见不一定代表OERI的官方立场或政策。教育资源信息中心（eric）已同意复制本材料。
A 5-year collaborative project between Missouri, Michigan State, and Nebraska Universities to provide new opportunities for rural community self-development through sustainable agriculture had mixed results. This happened because community members did not understand the principles of sustainability, and because the extension education system was unwilling to jeopardize its close ties with existing community and agricultural leaders by working with "fringe" groups such as organic farmers, small farmers, and opponents of factory hog farms. Future efforts to promote sustainable agriculture should be funded through existing rural advocacy groups already committed to change, and should focus on teaching the principles of sustainable agriculture and development to people of rural communities. Society is in the midst of a great transition. Terms such as the "information age" and the "new economy" mistakenly attribute this transition to changes in technology, when actually, changes in thinking created these changes in technologies. This new way of thinking reflects a holistic worldview that is fundamentally different from the reductionist worldview of the industrial era, and that has its roots in quantum physics and chaos theory rather than mechanical physics and statistics. This new way of thinking is fundamentally transforming society, as people realize that sustainability is not about sacrifice, but about a quality of life that values social and ecological objectives as well as economic ones.
