This pastoral ethos is still engrossed in a sensibility honed in a waning era, during which prevailed a 'moral community of subsistence' practicing an inadvertently ecologically sustainable mode of coping with nature's vagaries, and for which the initial conditions for its sustainability are gradually disappearing.
