Book Synopsis Building Community Food Webs by : Ken Meter
Download or read book Building Community Food Webs written by Ken Meter and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our current food system has decimated rural communities and confined the choices of urban consumers. Even while America continues to ramp up farm production to astounding levels, net farm income is now lower than at the onset of the Great Depression, and one out of every eight Americans faces hunger. But a healthier and more equitable food system is possible. In Building Community Food Webs, Ken Meter shows how grassroots food and farming leaders across the U.S. are tackling these challenges by constructing civic networks. Overturning extractive economic structures, these inspired leaders are engaging low-income residents, farmers, and local organizations in their quest to build stronger communities. Community food webs strive to build health, wealth, capacity, and connection. Their essential element is building greater respect and mutual trust, so community members can more effectively empower themselves and address local challenges. Farmers and researchers may convene to improve farming practices collaboratively. Health clinics help clients grow food for themselves and attain better health. Food banks engage their customers to challenge the root causes of poverty. Municipalities invest large sums to protect farmland from development. Developers forge links among local businesses to strengthen economic trade. Leaders in communities marginalized by our current food system are charting a new path forward. Building Community Food Webs captures the essence of these efforts, underway in diverse places including Montana, Hawai‘i, Vermont, Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, and Minnesota. Addressing challenges as well as opportunities, Meter offers pragmatic insights for community food leaders and other grassroots activists alike.

Book Synopsis The Curse of American Agricultural Abundance by : Willard Wesley Cochrane
Download or read book The Curse of American Agricultural Abundance written by Willard Wesley Cochrane and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advisor to President Kennedy, consultant for foreign governments, and spokesman for family farmers everywhere, Willard W. Cochrane has been a leading expert on agriculture and its problems in the United States since the 1940s. In his straightforward style Cochrane analyzes the propensity for American agriculture to produce too much and the inability of our social and economic system to make effective use of that unending abundance. He then offers his vision for American agriculture in the twenty-first century. Cochrane looks at two periods in agricultural history: 195366 and 19972002. Structurally, technologically, and organizationally the two periods are as different as night and day, but in terms of the big economic picture--too much production pressing on a limited commercial demand with resulting low farm prices and incomes--they are mirror images of each other. With this understanding, Cochrane argues that Americans no longer need to farm fragile ecosystems with intensive chemical methods, make huge payments that result in fewer farms and higher farming costs, nor bear the environmental consequences of all-out production. Instead, he outlines a bold new strategy in which we can enjoy our abundance and focus our efforts on quality of life and protecting the environment in our rural areas. Willard W. Cochrane is the author of numerous books, including The Development of American Agriculture: A Historical Analysis, and coauthor of Reforming Farm Policy: Toward a National Agenda. Richard A. Levins is a professor of agricultural economics at the University of Minnesota and the author of Willard Cochrane and the American Family Farm (Nebraska 2003).

Book Synopsis More Than a Farm Organization by : Don Muhm
Download or read book More Than a Farm Organization written by Don Muhm and published by Lone Oak Press, Limited. This book was released on 1998 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the storm clouds of farm crisis loom on the horizon fueled by a precipitous drop in farm income, it seems the forecast couldn't be worse. Yet today's farmers need only look to their roots for models of strength reflected in the 80-year history of the Farmers Union in Minnesota and recounted in a new book from Lone Oak Press, More Than A Farm Organization: Farmers Union In Minnesota, by Don Muhm, the distinguished agricultural journalist and farm editor of the Des Moines Register for over 30 years. The 400-page history chronicles the birth, growth, challenges, and victories of the Farmers Union in Minnesota and the people who built it. It's the story of farmers from across the state who recognized the power of cooperation, education, and legislation to strengthen and protect the family farm. From its roots in Southwestern Minnesota's Jackson County in 1918 to the present, More Than A Farm Organization shows how the men and women of the Farmers Union, in the words of Jackson County local charter member Charley F. Wendel, "...bent their shoulders to the tasks." The book tracks the young organization's rise "...amid clouds of uncertainty" in the 20's "...to challenge the marketing structure;" the role it played in the "Farm Holiday" movement of the Great Depression and rural electrification; the life of Farmers Union Grain Terminal Association giant M. W. Thatcher, about whom Hubert H. Humphrey eulogized, "He didn't visit Presidents; they visited him...;" the formation of the giant supply co-op, CENEX; the years of phenomenal growth during the administration of the "Great Gully Cooperator," Minnesota Farmer's Union President Edwin Christianson; "The Communist Smear" campaign; the advent of corporate farming, the 1980's farm crisis, and other challenges faced by Minnesota and National Farmers Union President Cy Carpenter; the turbulent term of U.S. Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland, the first to come from the ranks of farmers since Roosevelt; the Farmers Union in Minnesota today; and much more. More Than A Farm Organization is a veritable compendium of "who's who" among Farmers Union members from Minnesota who rose through the ranks to become some of the great leaders of our state and nation-people like U.S. Agriculture Secretary and Congressman Bob Bergland, Congresswoman Coya Knutson, Minnesota Lt. Governor and Congressman Alec Olson, Minnesota Governors Elmer Benson and Floyd Olson, National Farmers Union Presidents Cy Carpenter and Leland Swenson, Minnesota Secretary of State Art Hanson, Minnesota House Majority Leader and Minnesota Farmers Union President Willis Eken, Minnesota Senator and Minnesota Farmers Union President Dave Frederickson, World Farm Congress delegate and Special National Farmers Union Award-winner F. B. Daniel, and others too numerous to mention. The book describes the three main thrusts of the Farmers Union in Minnesota, as embodied by its triangular logo: Cooperation, Legislation, and Education. From the advent of farmer owned local cooperatives in the early 20s, to the development of cooperative giants like the Farmers Union Central Exchange (CENEX) and Harvest States Cooperatives; from Federal enactment of the Agricultural Adjustment and Farm Credit Acts of 1933, to passage of the Minnesota Family Farm Security Act in 1976; and from publication of the Farmer's Union Herald and Minnesota Agriculture, to passage of the Federal Student Loan and GI Farm Management Training Programs, the men and women of the Farmers Union in Minnesota have "kept the faith" and led the way to a better life for family farmers, not only in Minnesota, but around the country, as well. More Than A Farm Organization is a testament to their dedication and leadership.
