I stumbled upon it trying to get more details on Polyface Farm's mobile farming methods. Their perspective on the scalability of that came up a short… They assume chicken demand stays constant despite potential price increase. They highlight the risks of commingling livestock species and yet fail to address antibiotic resistance in commercial poultry farmers or Joel's claim that unhygienic open air slaughter resulted in lower contamination levels than those using the mechanized approach.

That said, I thought the human interest interlude on kids trying to buy broccoli for less than a dollar was a little over the top. Recommending farmer's markets take food stamps– yay or nay?
