This month, the Center for Media and Democracy\u2019s Food new Rights Network launches a series of interviews with \u201cfood and farm heroes.\u201d It\u2019s easy for an organization dedicated to exposing corporate spin to focus on negative corporate propaganda with its ubiquity, but we would be remiss not to highlight courageous people who fight corporate agendas and spin in other ways, large and small. Some devote their lives to it.<\/p>\n

In the world of food and farming, the contrast between corporate agribusiness \u201cfarms\u201d and small, sustainable family farms \u2014 farms that, to adapt a phrase of Michael Pollan\u2019s, our grandparents would recognize as food-producing places \u2014 is especially clear. Among the farmers who live and work in these places, the CMD\u2019s Food Rights Network is featuring some of the heroes: farmers who are making an incredible difference in the farming community, on our dinner tables and in the world around them.<\/p>\n

John Kinsman<\/h3>\n

The first hero we feature is John Kinsman, a dairy farmer from Lime Ridge, Wisconsin. He is a pioneer of rotational grazing, a strong proponent of small, diversified agricultural operations, and an activist since the 1970s.<\/p>\n
