    From the non-profit Food and Water Watch: "Get the latest updates on the farm bill on our blog. Our current food system is broken, and it didn't happen by accident.

The industrial model of agriculture and food production is continuing a decades-long drive toward fewer farmers, more factory-style meat production and more processed food-largely to benefit a handful of powerful agribusiness and food companies.
