"Farmers all over the world have begun to choose a new path. Holthaus has taken the time to listen to, and share with us, the stories of such new farmers." - Fred Kirschenmann, Iowa State University"
Product Description
In "From the Farm to the Table", farm families from America's heartland detail the practices and values that relate to their land, work, and communities. Their stories reveal that those who make their living in agriculture - despite stereotypes of provincialism perpetuated by the media - are savvy to the influence of world politics on local issues. Gary Holthaus demonstrates how outside economic, governmental, legal, and business developments play an increasingly influential, if not controlling, role in every farmer's life. The swift approval of genetically modified crops by the federal government, the formation of huge agricultural conglomerates, and the devastating environmental effects of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides are just a few issues buffeting family farms. "From the Farm to the Table" offers a deeper understanding of how we can create sustainable and vibrant land-based communities by adhering to fundamental agrarian values.
