Foodfight : the citizen's guide to a food and farm bill
The Farm Bill is perhaps the single most significant land use legislation enacted in the United States, yet many citizens remain unaware of its power and scope. With subsidies ballooning toward $25 billion dollars per year, the Farm Bill largely dictates who grows what crops, on what acreage, and under what conditions--all with major impacts on the country's rural economies, health and nutrition, national security, and biodiversity. Food Fight offers a highly informative and visually engaging overview of legislation that literally shapes our food system, our bodies, and our future
