and speaks around the country fairly often - I highly recommend seeing him if you get a chance.
The demand for cheap food by consumers plays into the problems too - the big corps are not entirely to blame, there is a degree of personal responsibility that is lacking. Of course if you are poor and work all the time the thought of shopping and meal prep on top of everything else can be daunting.
The subsidies that go to huge operations needs to be redistributed to small family operations and back to small rural communities. Even if the small organic (or somewhat less than that) farmer is less "efficient" there are other social and ecological considerations to the issue.
