Conflict and Crisis in Rural America
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Students of U.S. agricultural policy as well as students of environmental, consumer, and urban policies should read Conflict and Crisis in Rural America. The book is enriched by Larry W. Waterfields journalistic career describing and analyzing American agriculture and agricultural policies and their impacts.”–
Book Description
This work covers the growing economic and cultural split between rural and urban America. The author addresses the following issues: the "rural-urban wars" over land use, control of water, cheap food policy, trade, the use of chemicals and pesticides, animal rights, the bias in urban-dominated media, corruption in food marketing and distribution, what is happening to the land, and who the largest landowners are. In this book, Waterfield suggests that rural America's share of national wealth is declining and that America is the world's best hope for solving the problems of hunger and rural poverty.
