Download or read book Conflict and Crisis in Rural America written by Larry W. Waterfield. This book was released on 1986-02-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work covers the growing economic and cultural split between rural and urban America. The author addresses the following issues: the rural-urban wars over land use, control of water, cheap food policy, trade, the use of chemicals and pesticides, animal rights, the bias in urban-dominated media, corruption in food marketing and distribution, what is happening to the land, and who the largest landowners are. In this book, Waterfield suggests that rural America's share of national wealth is declining and that America is the world's best hope for solving the problems of hunger and rural poverty.
