    Not Just a New Farm Bill but New Farm Policy John Ikerd Over the years I have been involved in various discussions leading up to several different farm bills. However, I probably have become too radical to be considered relevant in the discussion of the farm bill scheduled for 2012.

    For decades, farm bills in the U.S. Congress have supported large-scale agriculture. But with the 2012 Farm Bill now up for debate, advocates say seismic shifts in the way the nation views food production may lead to new policies that tilt more toward local, sustainable agriculture.

    The 2012 Farm Bill comes amid an increasingly fierce public debate over food and farming.

    Lifelong residents like Peju Taofika and her three granddaughters inhabit a room in a typical apartment block known as a "Face Me, Face You" because whole families squeeze into 7-by-11-foot rooms along a narrow corridor. Up to 50 people share a kitchen, toilet and sink - though the pipes in the neighborhood often no longer carry water.
