Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Inspiring stories of Mexico’s farmer to farmer movements restoring degraded hillsides and watersheds, reclaiming old methods of seed saving and seed exchange, and incorporating the latest agroecological techniques developed by other farmers and agroecology scientists and practitioners.Concise explanations of NAFTA, the U.S.-Mexico border fence, maquiladoras, the Green Revolution in Mexico, U.S. agricultural guest worker programs, Mexican government support for agriculture, the U.S. Farm bill, direct marketing by small Mexican farmers, and genetically-engineered corn in Mexico.Beyond the Fence explores aspects of migration largely unnoticed by the public and mainstream media. These are the root causes and complex realities, the stories and surprising possibilities that get lost in a debate over fences. They are the tales of people’s desperation and irretrievable loss, but also of their growing visions for hope. They are the stories of farmers, politicians and activists on both sides of the border.
