This chapter explores the negative effects of linear industrialized farming on rural America, including the impoverishment of rural communities and the low financial return for farmers. It also discusses the role of consumer demand for cheap food and fast food restaurants in driving down food production quality.
Is industrial farming bad for us? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly learn about the future of food production, regenerative agriculture, and greenwashing with herdsman, land steward, and author Will Harris.
