Austin Frerick, Author of Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry
(Food industry consolidation, Driscoll's Berries,
Across the landscape of American agriculture, one can see where there were many, there are now few. What we see leads us to ask:
Is it better to have a few big farms or many small farms?
The Food Chain Radio Show & Podcast with Michael Olson hosts Austin Frerick, Author of Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry, for a conversation about the consolidation of the nation’s food chain into the hands of a few.
Topics include how the share-cropping of the antebellum South has been adopted by industrial agriculture; how share-cropping has been used to control production and market share; and whether big successful businesses, like the Driscoll’s berry company, are “robber barons.”
