Section 2:

This source talks about the laws that regulate farming in the united states, and that it has been proved that the rational chemically-industrialized farming is producing bad chemicals that are used as herbicides and pesticides, and that it is better to switch to a more beneficial way.

This source views the issue as a corporate-general population problem, as the corporate people do not prefer to switch to the green farming because it is going to impact their profits from chemical selling, while these laws are trying to help the general public from exposing to all these chemicals that are destroying the environment and predisposing to cancers.

Section 3:

This source is relevant because it talks about the issue of the bossiness and the stakeholders who are benefiting from the use of different chemicals in farming abut without thinking about the general public and the environment.

Section 4:

Relative quotes:

“The clash has become one of ‘‘capital versus communities,’’ whereby corporations use the Interstate Commerce Clause in an attempt to override state legislation aimed at protecting family farming and communities” (Pittman,2004), (Linda Lobao and Curtis W. Stofferahn).
