The Farm Bill is perhaps the single most
significant land use legislation enacted in the United States, yet many citizens
remain unaware of its power and scope. With subsidies ballooning toward $25
billion per year, the Farm Bill largely dictates who grows what crops, on what
acreage, and under what conditions, all with major impacts on the country's
rural economies, health and nutrition, and biodiversity. As debate and wrangling
over the 2007 Farm Bill intensifies, Food Fight offers a highly
informative and visually engaging overview of legislation that literally shapes
our food system, our bodies, and our future.
