History of Feminism

where small family farms that raised a large variety of healthy crops on the same farm. Unfortunately we did not get as many bushels per acre and fortunately the world was not as over populated then. So we did manage to feed the world for the most part. Or it should be said that we had enough food but it did not always get were it was needed.

But it helped that in places like Africa they also still had small family plots that pretty much fed their families. Then along came the commercial farming that raised crops mainly for export to places like the USA. The small families were moved into cities where they could no longer grow to feed their own and that is when the hunger/poverty crisis in the world became critical.

By the way the families on our small farms were also moved to the cities and until the last 30+ years had good jobs - probably better jobs than farming provided. That is changing today.
