Mr. Woods. Well, let's see. I couldn't exactly give the date, like I have told some of them this morning, just to give the date of these things, but I was about 14 years old. I took the farm over from my mother. My father died when I was 14.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book begins by exploring the evolution of the labor system in US agriculture from its roots in European colonialism through to what the author refers to as the 'corporate industrial food regime' of the present day. It presents an incisive examination of the increasing concentration of power in the hands of a small number of large agribusinesses and the subsequent, devastating impact upon family farms and farm labor. By placing the activities of modern-day agricultural corporations like Cargill and ConAgra within a historical context, the author demonstrates how these large corporations have come to closely resemble the exploitative practices of the colonial period, with the key difference being the increased power differential between corporations and their workforce. The book also looks at the effects of the industrial food regime on consumers, the environment, and the livelihoods of rural communities.
