Requests:  0 Summary:  Through meticulous research, Hauter presents a shocking account of how agricultural policy has been hijacked by lobbyists, driving out independent farmers and food processors in favor of the likes of Cargill, Tyson, Kraft, and ConAgra. She demonstrates how the impacts ripple far and wide, from economic stagnation in rural communities at home, to famines in poor countries overseas. In the end, Hauter illustrates how solving this crisis will require a complete structural shift, a grassroots movement to reshape our food system from seed to table, a change that is about politics, not just personal choice.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 338.10973 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 338.10973 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList
