Download or read book Big Farms Make Big Flu written by Rob Wallace and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first collection to explore infectious disease, agriculture, economics, and the nature of science together Thanks to breakthroughs in production and food science, agribusiness has been able to devise new ways to grow more food and get it more places more quickly. There is no shortage of news items on hundreds of thousands of hybrid poultry—each animal genetically identical to the next—packed together in megabarns, grown out in a matter of months, then slaughtered, processed and shipped to the other side of the globe. Less well known are the deadly pathogens mutating in, and emerging out of, these specialized agro-environments. In fact, many of the most dangerous new diseases in humans can be traced back to such food systems, among them Campylobacter, Nipah virus, Q fever, hepatitis E, and a variety of novel influenza variants. Agribusiness has known for decades that packing thousands of birds or livestock together results in a monoculture that selects for such disease. But market economics doesn't punish the companies for growing Big Flu—it punishes animals, the environment, consumers, and contract farmers. Alongside growing profits, diseases are permitted to emerge, evolve, and spread with little check. “That is,” writes evolutionary biologist Rob Wallace, “it pays to produce a pathogen that could kill a billion people.” In Big Farms Make Big Flu, a collection of dispatches by turns harrowing and thought-provoking, Wallace tracks the ways influenza and other pathogens emerge from an agriculture controlled by multinational corporations. Wallace details, with a precise and radical wit, the latest in the science of agricultural epidemiology, while at the same time juxtaposing ghastly phenomena such as attempts at producing featherless chickens, microbial time travel, and neoliberal Ebola. Wallace also offers sensible alternatives to lethal agribusiness. Some, such as farming cooperatives, integrated pathogen management, and mixed crop-livestock systems, are already in practice off the agribusiness grid. While many books cover facets of food or outbreaks, Wallace's collection appears the first to explore infectious disease, agriculture, economics and the nature of science together. Big Farms Make Big Flu integrates the political economies of disease and science to derive a new understanding of the evolution of infections. Highly capitalized agriculture may be farming pathogens as much as chickens or corn.

Download or read book My Grandfather s Big Farm written by Sharon B. Harbin and published by Educare Communications LLC. This book was released on 2014-11-10 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MY GRANDFATHER'S BIG FARM is a beautifully illustrated picture book that shares some important lessons about family and real estate in a fun and entertaining way. Will White, the author's grandfather, is an African American who purchased a 100-acre farm many years ago. The book depicts his spirit as an Entrepreneur and how he works hard to operate a farm business with the help of his family. It also tells how he left an inheritance for his children's children, which is a truly significant act in today's society. The author, Sharon Harbin sees her book as an opportunity to inspire children and others who are interested in excelling in real estate and in life. Sharon has been in the real estate industry for many years. She has done a lot of writing on such topics as how to create and sustain property value, the real estate downturn, and more. Writing a children's book gives her the chance to instruct children early on about real estate. It is also an avenue to inspire others through art and literature. The picture book is illustrated by folk artist Geraldine Smith, who resides in South Carolina. Sharon was inspired to write the book because Smith's paintings vividly illustrated stories that her mother told her about living on the farm. Her frequent trips to the farm to visit her grandparents was an influence as well.
