Feeding a Divided America by Gilles Stockton

Feeding a Divided America by Gilles Stockton

Third-generation Montana rancher and international agriculture development specialist Gilles Stockton explores the causes of what he refers to as the rural-urban divide and how this widening chasm between rural America and urban centers threatens our democracy.

"In this series of penetrating essays on modern American agriculture, Gilles Stockton tackles the challenges modern farmers and ranchers face in making a living when giant monopolies control too many moving parts of the food chainStockton also looks at all the reasons rural and urban Americans, producers and consumers alike, talk past each other today while their real mutual interests lie in supporting a genuine remake of our national agricultural policy."—Baker H. Morrow, author of Best Plants for New Mexico Gardens and Landscapes: Keyed to Cities and Regions in New Mexico and Adjacent Areas, Revised and Expanded Edition

"Gilles Stockton takes a unique approach to storytelling. He represents a perspective on a serious topic that includes technical, cultural, and political viewpoints and interjects personal experiences garnered from of a rich life spent as a rancher, international agricultural development specialist, and conservationist."—R. Jack Meyers, contributor to Water for the People: The Acequia Heritage of New Mexico in a Global Context
