PLOUGHING UP THE FARM: NEOLIBERALISM, MODERN TECHNOLOGY AND THE STATE OF THE WORLD'S FARMERS

"Ploughing Up the Farm brings together an array of evidence to show that the past twenty years - a period of "neoliberal globalization" - has brought about rural depopulation in the North, rising rural poverty in the South and environmental problems to all farming communities. Jerry Buckland calls for farm policies founded on farmer-led food security and a democratization of global institutions as the means to arrest these trends."--BOOK JACKET.
