Big Mistake
I think this is a bad mistake. Why would anyone want to get rid of small farms? Oh they are 'economically unviable'? Whoopie! Small farms can experiment with things like organic farming, pesticide free farming. Natural conditions for animals that we depend on for eggs, meat and milk is not to be sneezed at either. I put it to you that it is the LARGE MEGAFARMS which are UNSUSTAINABLE! They are unsustainable because you must use so much petroleum to run all the machines you need on a big farm. It is small farms which can save the world. Incidentally most farms in the Balkans are small and the food there is mostly very good quality.
