American Farms, American Food bridges the gap between agricultural
production and food studies allowing readers to learn about both
subjects up close and in detail. Beyond that, the book provides
background on the domestication, breeding, and development of crop
plants and livestock that have become the food we eat. Themes such
as the family farm, local food production, organic agriculture,
genetically modified crops, food imports, and commodity exports are
developed in nine separate chapters. The chapters treat specific
crops or livestock types from the point of view of both production
and consumption, highlighting the changes that have taken place in
both farming strategies and food preferences over the years.
