The Harvard Law Food Law and Policy Clinic, in collaboration with Nathan Rosenberg, FLPC Visiting Scholar, and Bryce Wilson Stucki, an independent researcher, on January 29 released a report which provides an in-depth, data-driven analysis of farm production, farmer race and ethnicity, and farm practices in the Midwest.
The report, “More Than CAFOs and Corn: A Statistical Analysis of Agriculture in Six Midwestern States,” has several features intended to assist policymakers and advocates, including a novel analysis of the development and current status of farm production in the Midwest; an assessment of the incomes and wealth of the region’s farmers; the historical context and current economic status of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) farmers; and an overview of environmental problems caused by conventional farms.
The work is meant to serve as a reference on these and other topics of interest policy advocates, policy makers, and researchers with an interest in Midwest agriculture.
