Well written, Stephen. The local farming community must be preserved. The local citizen must be allowed to better their own life as they see fit. For a history lesson in how agriculture can become somewhat imperialistic I would encourage your to read "Alchemy of the Air" by Thomas Hager as you continue with you work. It is a history lesson in fertilizer and food at a national and world level. A subplot in it tells of how nations went to war to secure necessary fertilizer and mineral rights for increased food production. Chilean nitrate wars and the Guano Islands Act of 1856 are just two examples.
