Part love song to a life on the farm, and part passionate appeal, Who’s Minding the Farm will make you think differently about what we consume and the damage it reaps on the land.
Patrice examines some of the problems for Australian farming including:
• The neglect and abuse of land by farmers
• Degradation of the soil over time, and its impact on the food we eat
• The shrinking, unskilled labour force of short-term workers, and how this affects productivity on the farm
• Depressive illnesses and isolation, suicides and tough times amongst farmer
• How governments have misdirected drought funding
• The chemical industry’s stranglehold on farmers, and why we need to stop our chemical addiction
Patrice says ‘The spread of drug- addicted industrial agriculture cannot continue. It must not be our future.’
