It’s been happening for most of 20th C also. The horrific consequences of corporate capture and industrialisation of #agriculture were spelled out in stark detail and with great prescience by #WendellBerry in his 1977 seminal work, ‘The Unsettling of America’.
A wonderful book, which makes for very sad reading today. #LostCulture #ruralCrisis #BiidiversityCrisis
