Even a consideration of the disparity between the conditions of production in industry and agriculture alone points to the fact that for the latter the organism is, in the first instance, the formative principle appropriate to its being and to its value-creation. The organism principle has always been immanent to the development of agriculture — even if under quite differently constituted cultural conditions in every case. What today must become a matter of scientifically grounded, conscious understanding of the organism arose in earlier times from a folk-rooted, instinctive, wisdom-filled action. The evolution of consciousness of humanity — and with it the history of agriculture — mirrors itself, in broad outline, in the way in which human beings have gradually made the organism principle immanent to nature, drawn from the ever more conscious experience of their own bodily organism, the foundation of a true art of farming.
