New Book - The Cafo Reader: The Tragedy of Industrial Animal Factories edited by Daniel Imhoff

"The CAFO Reader – a new book featuring essays by farmers Wendell Berry, Becky Weed, and Fred Kirschenmann, Republican speech writer Matthew Scully, journalist Michael Pollan and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., among many others – gives a full picture of the environmental, social, and ethical implications of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, and includes a section of essays on 'Putting the CAFO Out to Pasture.'"

Taken from Civil Eats post that includes an interview with the book's editor, Daniel Imhoff, in which he discusses recent positive changes to the food industry, what changes still remain to be made, and how we can accomplish those changes. The interview also mentions a forthcoming photo book to accompany the essays (due out in September), which could very well have a larger impact than the essays themselves.
