CORE 003 SC - Roots: Agriculture and American Identity
When the United States was founded, it was a nation of land-owning family farmers. Today, American agriculture is a small, but productive, sector dominated by a few large corporately-organized farms. And yet, in arenas as diverse as government and commercial advertising, current policies and perceptions are still based upon our Jeffersonian origins—or, at least, assumptions about them. What benefits come from maintaining an identity that is so rooted in the past? In the face of a rapidly changing society and economy, what are the costs of clinging to that identity? We will attempt to answer these questions using insights from different disciplines.
