Disappearing Farmers-"What Are People For?" by Wendell Berry

The reading is from Wendell Berry’s book, “What are People for?” in the essay, An Argument for Diversity. I discuss the economic pressures that occur when people buy into the consumer culture rather than returning to their producing origin. Not only are there financial consequesnses but enviromental. The statistics I read in the episode are from https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/96-325-x/2014001/article/11905-eng.htm It would be wonderful if you left a positive review wherever you listen or share your favourite episode with a friend. The music is by Beach Towels and the song is called Sun Soaked.
