Read up on this article about how tighter regulations will surely effect the health and prosperity of our small farms. While large corporations and distributors will certainly do their fair share of finger pointing, the fact of the matter is that small scale and local food production is not only more environmentally and economically sustainable but also safer for the consumer's health.
There's also an interesting point in this article about how the regulations encourage "sterility" in farming which, if we know about our beneficial soil microbes and their importance in organic farming, is completely misleading. We need to encourage our soil life to thrive for the benefit of all in the long term.
