PEI Pork

Farmers who raise pigs in the Maritimes have no control either over the price they receive for their pigs or the costs of producing them. Pork prices are determined by a commodity market in Chicago where the whims of big buyers and sellers fix the price for all. Small family farmers on the east coast don’t stand a chance when prices fall while their transportation or heating or feed costs go up. Some P.E.I. Farmers have come up with a plan where they can escape the uncertainties of the commodity market by doing something different, and this is their story. This episode of the CBC’s “Land and Sea” program will be available for purchase from the Nova Scotia Department of Education in July 2007.

This program examines how a handful of companies have come to dominate food production and distribution in North America and the real price we pay.
