Content:
Empty Fields, Empty Promises examines the impact of Right-to-Farm laws across the United States, highlighting the challenges faced by rural communities. The book presents case studies, such as those involving Paul A. Lewis and the Parkers, to illustrate the adverse effects of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) on local environments and residents' health. Authors Loka Ashwood, Aimee Imlay, Lindsay Kuehn, Allen Franco, and Danielle Diamond aim to inform and transform understanding of agricultural policies, advocating for justice and better living conditions for rural populations. This work is intended for scholars, policymakers, and the general public interested in rural studies, environmental justice, and agricultural policy reform.
