Since the late 1970s, states across the nation have adopted so-titled right-to-farm laws to limit nuisance suits loosely related to agriculture. But since their adoption, there has yet to be a comprehensive analysis of what these laws do and who they benefit, not just what their title suggests. In the first national analysis and guide of its kind, this book uncovers that right-to-farm laws benefit the largest of operators, like processing plants, while traditional farmers win the least using such laws. Disfavored most of all are those seeking to defend their homes and environment against multinational corporations that use right-to-farm laws to strip neighboring owners of their property rights. Through what the book calls the midburden, right-to-farm laws dispossess the many in favor of the few, paving the path to rural poverty. Empty Fields, Empty Promises summarizes every state right-to-farm law to help interested readers track and navigate their local and regional legal landscape. The book concludes by offering paths forward for a more distributed and democratic agrifood system that achieves agricultural, rural, and environmental justice"-- $c Provided by the publisher. 650 0 $a Land use, Rural $x States. $z United States $x States. 650 0 $a Land use, Rural $x States. $z United States $x States. 650 0 $a Farm law $z United States $x States. 650 0 $a Factory farms $z United States $x States. 650 0 $a Nuisances $z United States $x States. 650 0 $a Rural landowners $x States. $z United States $x States. 700 1 $a Imlay, Aimee, $e author. 700 1 $a Kuehn, Lindsay, $e author. 700 1 $a Franco, Allen, $e author. 700 1 $a Diamond, Danielle, $e author. 830 0 $a Rural studies (Rural Sociological Society) 941 $a 2 952 $l PGAX715 $d 20240318113057.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217011944.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=58A2D294CD6211EE9507C16149ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
