Shut Out: How US farm programs fail minority farmers
|
The current Farm Bill represents a broken promise to America’s rural communities— particularly African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and American Indian farmers and ranchers. US farm policies have created a faulty system that favors big farms over small farms, rewards overproduction of commodity crops instead of conservation and diversified perations, and disproportionately benefits white farmers over producers of color. Reauthorization of the Farm Bill, which is currently being debated in Congress, provides a rare chance to make sure that African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and American Indian farmers and ranchers get the kind of support they have failed to receive for so long.
