How is this farmers' fault? You know most of them are below the poverty line, right?
OK, definitely not the farmer fault,
and this meme only works in the theory that without corporation and lobbying, farme6ars still affected by profit and it ecological devastation is still likely, look into petit bourgeoisie.
but it's pointless to complain about something in theory, when in reality corporations are currently responsible
Those who were not adopting the fossil fuel intensive, machine based methods the industry was peddling were forced to sell long ago - that's why farms tend to be huge. Those who are now farming these huge pieces of land bought it up from farmers brought below the poverty line, and now they are forced to do industry farming or drown.
No they're not, farming is a fairly lucrative job. Its hard work, and you arent going to get filthy rich exactly, but nobody who farms is poor by any means. My partners grandparents are farmers, andnthey do just fine. In fact, when they eventually sell the farm land, which my partners parents inherit, they will make a crap ton of money off it.
And then you have farmers here that are below poverty line and are selling off the land just to not go bankrupt.
