Foreword Reviews "A valuable historical and societal perspective on farming in the United States and internationally. Foleys observations are insightful and at times startling....In some respects, this book paints a bleak picture of farmings future. Climate change and the degradation of soil have hampered food productivity, the costs of farming are rising, and small farmers are being forced to occupy marginal lands. Foley believes nothing less than a profound reversal of course will be necessary for farming to survive long term. Still, the book is grounded in cautious optimismbased primarily on local farmers helping themselves. Food hubs controlled by farmers, urban farming, and grassroots organizations run by farmers are hopeful evidence. Foley concludes his excellent book with the belief that traditional agriculture is here to stay, and that it will sustain humanity, provided we take its many lessons to heart. One can only hope the prediction is accurate.
