Despite elements of truth in this polarization, it fails to focus on the particular vulnerabilities and potentials of industrial agriculture. Both representations obscure individual farmers, their families, their communities, and the risks they face from unpredictable local, national, and global conditions: fluctuating and often volatile production costs and crop prices; extreme weather exacerbated by climate change; complicated and changing farm policies; new production technologies and practices; water availability; inflation and debt; and rural community decline. Yet the future of industrial agriculture depends fundamentally on farmers' decisions."--Provided by publisher 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on May 21, 2019). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Agricultural industries.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85002331 650 0 Farmers.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85047270 650 7 Agricultural industries.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/800842 650 7 Farmers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/921321 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Gibson, Jane W.|q(Jane Winslow),|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2008112464|eeditor. 700 1 Alexander, Sara E.,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n88638419|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tIn defense of farmers.|dLincoln : University of Nebraska Press, [2019]|z9781496206732|w(DLC) 2018047752|w(OCoLC)1060177913 830 0 Our sustainable future.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n92063410 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2119740|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
