How did we get the chicken industry that we have today? What’s it like to be a chicken farmer? How else have people in Delmarva been affected by the region’s concentrated chicken industry? From the debt treadmill of contract farming to water contamination in Millsboro and Salisbury, episode 2 examines these questions with help from Rebecca Wolf, Craig Watts, and the Delmarva organizers we met in episode 1: Maria Payan, Monica Brooks, and Gabby Ross. Rebecca Wolf is a Senior Food Policy Analyst at Food & Water Watch, and Craig Watts is a farmer, previous contract grower, and director of the Socially Responsible Agriculture Project’s Contract Grower Transition Program.More info & sources: linktr.ee/nolandfarmspodWritten, researched, and edited by Carly RizzutoCover art by Paige LangmeadMusic by MarieCaron (theme), ViraMiller, chinoise, YleArkisto, and theblockofsound235 (outro) from FreesoundIf you liked the podcast, consider supporting it: buymeacoffee.com/nolandfarmspodFind No Land Farms on Instagram and YouTube @nolandfarmspodThank you for listening!
