Beschreibung
In Feeding a Divided. America. ,. third-generation Montana rancher and international agriculture development specialist Gilles Stockton explores the causes of what he refers to as the "rural-urban divide" and how this widening chasm between rural America and urban centers threatens our democracy. Indeed, it determines the structure of our society, including the physical and political landscapes in which we live. Stockton shows how big banks, international food conglomerates, urban expectations, and US farm policy have all furthered the demise of small towns across America. These essays provide a clear portrait of national food issues surrounding market competition, US trade policy, wildlife controversies, climate change, supply-chain disruptions, and US farm policy, topics that transcend all geopolitical boundaries. Stockton stands firm with American farmers and ranchers, offering potential remedies to these issues in the face of concerns over livelihood, the future of American food systems, and the future of our planet. Stockton's essays are timely, and they challenge American urbanites and rural folk alike to find ways for all of us to coexist in a changing environment. Whether we eat may depend on it.
