THE QUESTION

RESPONSES

BACKGROUND

However, I applaud the focus of your essay.

Family members who have spent their lives in development economics and sociology, plus a four year effort to clean up the "best" waste management practices of the industrial food production facilities inform me to conclude:

1. Agribusiness vested interests resist constructive change, even when it is economic to employ and benefiting of multiple constituencies.

2. Academic establishments are no different, compromised by funding sources and curriculum.

3. Legislative and regulatory sources are less different, though it takes a crisis to mobilize them.

Best of luck with your work. I will read your book with enthusiasm.
