这是一部不可多得的介绍工业化农业和有机农业的科教片,值得一看
《工业化农业:空洞的人》揭露了在北美,农业已沦为少数跨国公司的摇钱树。巨大的养殖场取代了传统的家庭农庄,规模庞大的农业企业采用流水线的方式生产食物。这些强有力的企业获得巨额财富,而代价则是农村环境和农村传统的崩溃。一栋栋破败不堪的废弃家庭农庄建筑成为阴森恐怖的地标。 

《农业的另一选择:生命之食》,着重阐述了以自然增长需求为基础的有机农业,用以替代工业化农业。牲畜、谷物、水果和蔬菜在自然环境中茁壮成长-而不是在养殖工厂内。越来越多的消费者正在寻找没有化学品、农药、激素或使用抗生素的食品。尽管有机食品的生产成本较高,较为昂贵,但是消费者愿意支付额外的成本。这些消费者认为,如果购买工厂化生产的食物,事实上是在支持传统农业社会和环境的崩溃和瓦解。

Corporate agriculture: the hollow men and alternative agriculture: food for life
The pastoral images of farm life – the Old MacDonald version with green pastures, cows in a field and a yard full of chickens and pigs – are now far from reality. It’s been a long battle by corporations to turn agriculture into agribusiness. The struggle between individual farmers and corporate factory farms is being fought across North America.
Corporate Agriculture: The Hollow Men, examines the growth of corporate factory agriculture – an industry that generates severe environmental, social and cultural problems. There is a growing backlash against a form of agriculture that many believe is unsustainable. Alternative Agriculture: Food For Life, looks at alternatives to corporate farming. Ecological, organic and ethical farming could be a tremendous benefit to the environment and help preserve rural society and culture.
Farming in North America has become a ‘cash cow’ for a handful of multinational corporations. Agri-business has taken the principles of the assembly line and applied them to what was traditional animal husbandry. Massive and powerful corporations have become enormously wealthy at the cost of the environment and rural culture. Dilapidated farm buildings keep an eerie watch over the changing landscape.
Alternative Agriculture: Food For Life, looks at alternatives to factory farming and the growing demand for nature-based or organic foods. Animals, grains, fruits and vegetables are raised to thrive in a natural environment – the antithesis of factory farming. Increasingly, consumers are looking for food produced without the use of chemicals, pesticides, hormones or antibiotics. Even though organic food is more expensive to produce, shoppers are willing to pay the added cost. They believe that by buying factory food, they are supporting a socially and environmentally destructive form of agriculture.
The extinction of family farms has become a lightning rod issue for environmental activist and lawyer Robert Kennedy Jr., who believes, “Thomas Jefferson’s view of American democracy was rooted in tens of thousands of yeoman farms. People who had a stake in our country, who controlled the land…these vital commodities… see (corporate farming) as the final nail in the coffin of that vision. And our landscapes are now being occupied by a few pirate multinational corporations who care nothing about our country or its losses.”
Corporate Agriculture: The Hollow Men and Alternative Agriculture: Food for Life are written, produced and directed by Ray Burley. Michael Allder is executive producer of THE NATURE OF THINGS.
