We trust them to grow our food, to be part of children's nursery rhymes, to provide the economic backbone of rural communities, and to embody a version of the American dream. At the same time, we know that "corporate farms" are disrupting the agrarian way of life that we so admire, and that we've got to do something to stop it. So what's our plan for saving the farms we love? In Farm (and Other F Words), Sarah K Mock dismantles misconceptions about American farms and discovers what makes small family farms work, or why they don't. While exploring the intersection of farming and wealth, Mock offers an alternative perspective on American agricultural history, and outlines a path to a more equitable food system moving forward. Calling for change, Farm (and Other F Words) tackles questions like: Do farmers really get paid not to farm? -- Are "big corporate farms" the future? -- How much good has the food movement done for small family farmers? Ultimately, Mock suggests a solution without putting the onus for change on struggling consumers and reminds us that, "the future of American agriculture is not yet decided." 650 0 $a Alternative agriculture. 650 0 $a Family farms $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Farms, Small $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Agriculture and politics. 941 $a 2 952 $l PFPC906 $d 20211229150025.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211223010125.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F941ED6863BD11ECAE2521E037ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
