Marx's Abandonment of the"Liebig's Strategy"and the Political Economy Reconstruction of Ecological Agriculture
At the beginning of the vigorous development of agricultural productivity in capitalist society,with the liberation of agricultural science from the constraints of religious theology,Liebig innovatively proposed the fertility compensation strategy of artificially applying mineral fertilizers,thereby bringing ecological agriculture into the important discussion field of political economy.Marx absorbed the natural science knowledge of Liebig's exploration of the harmonious coexistence be-tween man and land,and completed an important turn in the history of political economy by abando-ning the"Liebig strategy".Marx not only placed the transformation history of ecological agriculture within the capitalist mode of production for the first time,but also revealed the basic evolution process of agriculture from low-level ecology to high-level anti-ecology and then to high-level ecology under the guidance of"capital logic";Moreover,from the material view of history,a realistic path of harmonious coexistence between human and nature that meets the inherent requirements of the so-cialist mode of production has been proposed.
