Throughout the country, family farmers suffer the worst impacts of CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operations) and other forms of industrial agriculture. But farmers are fighting back.
Sonja Trom Eayrs is a lawyer and family farmer in Minnesota and the author of Dodge County, Inc.: Big Ag and the Undoing of Rural America, a memoir of her parents' three-year legal battle against a heavily polluting CAFO adjacent to their farm. She will talk about how rural and communities have been devastated by industrial agriculture and what they can do about it.
