• In food, issues that surround purchasing and that whole realm have a very political component and they branch into stories that can be really compelling. Just being on the farm, interacting with all these people in the industry, leads to personal narratives that can be used to make a larger point.

Desobediencia civil. Hacer arte. Crear comunidad. Baila. Canta. Cultivar. Cocina. Crea algo hermoso y regálalo. Encuentra tu propia llave inglesa y úsala con la fuerza del amor. Afila tu lápiz. Vota.

• No siempre puedo simpatizar con esa demanda que oímos con tanta frecuencia de cosas baratas. Las cosas pueden ser demasiado baratas. Son demasiado baratas cuando el hombre o la mujer que las produce en la granja o el hombre o la mujer que las produce en la fábrica no obtiene de ellas salarios dignos con un margen para la vejez y para una dote para los incidentes que vendrán después. Compadezco al hombre que quiere un abrigo tan barato que el hombre o la mujer que produce la tela o le da forma de prenda se muera de hambre en el proceso.

• Los Estados Unidos que conocemos hoy son en gran parte el resultado de inventos mecánicos, y en particular de la maquinaria agrícola y el ferrocarril.

• When I was five, a tree was my best friend. An old peppercorn on Grandpa's little farm. I'd haul myself into its calloused arms and hide from the world in its foliage. Apart from the pleasure of looking down on unsuspecting adults, I could be Robin Hood in a one-tree Sherwood Forest or Johnny Weissmuller in his jungle. I fell out of my friend once while Tarzan-ing. Gashed a large chunk from a leg. Almost 70 years later, there's still a scar.

  Phillip Adams

• Kinship among nations is not determined in such measurements as proximity of size and age. Rather we should turn to those inner things - call them what you will - I mean those intangibles that are the real treasures free men possess. To preserve his freedom of worship, his equality before law, his liberty to speak and act as he sees fit, subject only to provisions that he trespass not upon similar rights of others - a Londoner will fight. So will a citizen of Abilene. When we consider these things, then the valley of the Thames draws closer to the farms of Kansas and the plains of Texas.

• I was quite happy in Arkhangelsk.Subsequently, I was sent to a village. I liked it in its own way because it sounded to me very much like the tradition of a hired man in any world-class poem. That's what I was, a hired man. I was working for a collective farm.

• In terms of any sacrifices at the time [of World War II], I was somewhat protected living on a small farm where there was food, different perhaps from living in a city environment. I know such things as gas rationing did exist, but it wasn't anything that interfered with my daily activity.

• Undercover investigations threw back the curtain on the systemic exploitation of animals on factory farms. The response by agribusiness interests has been to back laws that ban animal advocates from taking pictures or videos at these facilities, and ban the media from publishing any that are taken. The laws also make it a crime for animal advocates to seek employment at animal enterprises without disclosing their intentions.

• Hay muchos innovadores trabajando duro para perfeccionar alternativas a la carne, la leche y los huevos. Estos productos alimentarios, al igual que los gráficos, la fotografía o los sistemas de sonido generados por ordenador, seguirán mejorando hasta que apenas haya diferencia entre una proteína de origen animal y una de origen vegetal, o entre la carne de granja y la de cultivo. Eso facilitará que la gente tome el tipo de decisiones que marcarán el comienzo de un mundo con mucha menos violencia.
