Take a Look Inside the Book
Outsider influence in the food and farming system is growing, and Farmers versus Foodies offers a sincere inquiry into why that is the case. The author examines:
How foodies are impacting public policy through their purchasing influence and through growing legislative prowess.
How advocates are leveraging the legal system to effectuate their desired outcomes, with farming interests typically on the other side.
How optimistic, socially conscious investors are, even if misguided, driving tremendous change in the industry.
How American producers – who are increasingly “farming without borders” – are not just susceptible to the American foodie, but to foodies around the world.
And finally, how today’s cultural trends offer an environment in which many bad ideas about farming and agribusiness can flourish.
