Description
The North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, has been one of the most hotly contested political and economic issues of the past twenty years. Covering an angle largely overlooked by the U.S. media, this volume examines small family farms in Mexico that have fared worse economically since NAFTA's passage. A distinguished group of contributors provide historical background, policy analysis, case studies, comparisons with large agribusiness corporations, and recommendations for ways to improve the situation of small farms in the future. This volume will be essential to the understanding of multinational trade issues and agriculture in the twenty-first century.
