Family Farming

“No hand-wringing or resignation about the plight of American farmers here—finally, some fresh, original thinking about the farm crisis. Pulling no punches, Marty Strange cuts right to the value questions at stake in American agriculture. Revealing a rare blend of compassion and clear analytical thinking, Strange compellingly argues that Americans do have a choice. We can choose an agriculture that is fair, humane, and sustainable—and economically viable as well.”—Frances Moore Lappé, author of Diet for a Small Planet

"Strange's vision is clear and focused. It should be shared."—The Humanist

“Family Farming easily puts Strange among the ranks of other brilliant critics of the agricultural establishment.”—Des Moines Register

"Family Farming is a thorough, clear, and practical introduction to the complex industry that modern agriculture has become. Anyone who doesn't want the next piece of agricultural legislation to slide past their consciousness as a set of superficial slogans must read this book."—Nina Murray, Nebraska Life
