Professor Pahnke: To Help Farmers, Rein in Agribusiness

THE PROGRESSIVE -- Anthony Pahnke is vice president of Family Farm Defenders and an assistant professor of International Relations at San Francisco State University. He wrote this opinion piece for The Progressive.

“Instead of new trade deals with China, what American farmers and consumers really need is a serious effort to reign in agribusiness corporations,” Pahnke writes. “And that effort must focus on heeding popular calls to enforce our country’s existing anti-trust laws.”
