New from Independent Science News:
America: Becoming a Land Without Farmers
by Evaggelos Vallianatos

Synopsis:
The division of the United States of America into the 1% and the 99%  
is not confined to cities and suburbs. The official statistics don't  
readily show it but in rural America family farms continue to  
disappear as increasingly food is produced by small numbers of very  
large farms. The effects of this inequality are felt as a grave  
economic crisis. The emerging rural economy is characterised by  
depopulation, dilapidation, and a feudal social structure that is  
fundamentally undemocratic.
