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. 541 $d 20150218. 650 $a Agricultural industries $z United States. 650 $a Agriculture $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 $a Food supply $z United States. 941 $a 2 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508021208.0 952 $l N4AX745 $d 20180808035653.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=85B98D301FB611E5B6995B78DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
