Abstract
The discipline of agricultural science must integrate with moral philosophy to understand and overcome barriers to sustainability. It is exceptionally rare that these fields are adjoined, but doing so reveals implicit assumptions that have shaped our agricultural system and offer opportunities for solutions. Here, I explore our agricultural system through the lens of moral philosophy and propose regenerative agriculture as an integrative framework for progress towards sustainability.
