為什么美國(guó)的糧食生產(chǎn)增長(zhǎng)不足?
Why The U.S. Isn’t Growing Enough Food
譯文簡(jiǎn)介
美國(guó)的農(nóng)場(chǎng)數(shù)量以及他們?yōu)槿祟愊M(fèi)所種植的作物已經(jīng)連續(xù)幾十年在下降。相反，聯(lián)邦資金主要支持種植大豆和玉米等商品作物，這些作物主要用于喂養(yǎng)家畜、加工食品和生物燃料生產(chǎn)。美國(guó)對(duì)新鮮水果和蔬菜的進(jìn)口持續(xù)增加，使得那些仍在國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)這些作物的少數(shù)農(nóng)場(chǎng)越來越困難。
正文翻譯
The number of U.S. farms and what they grow for human consumption have been on a decline for decades. Instead, federal funding has been largely supporting farms growing commodities like soybeans and corn, mainly used to feed livestock, processed foods and biofuel production. U.S. imports of fresh fruit and vegetables continue to climb, making it increasingly hard for the few farms that do produce them domestically.

Every person with a little lawn and some sunshine should have a garden. Its good exercise, peaceful and rewarding, better for the environment, and much better tasting.

John Deere isn't letting farmers repair their own farm equipment, that's one of the problems. Farmers losing money.
約翰·迪爾（John Deere）不允許農(nóng)民修理自己的農(nóng)場(chǎng)設(shè)備，這是問題之一。農(nóng)民虧錢。
A big part of the problem is that everything in the US gets reduced to a line item on a ledger. Just look at the language used on this subject. Corn grown for fuel and alfala grown for feed is referred to as "commodities" while fruits and vegetables grown for food are called "specialty crops". Not a good place to start in my opinion.
問題的一個(gè)重要原因是，美國(guó)的一切都被簡(jiǎn)化成了賬本上的一項(xiàng)?？纯催@個(gè)話題使用的語(yǔ)言就知道了。用于燃料的玉米和用于飼料的苜蓿被稱為“商品”，而用于食品的水果和蔬菜被稱為“特種作物”。在我看來，這不是一個(gè)好的出發(fā)點(diǎn)。
Stunned at how you managed NOT to mention the role of Monsanto.
Bravo to the single farmer who sheepishly mentioned “climate”.
我真是震驚，你居然沒提到孟山都的角色。

The US is not growing food. It is growing cash crop.
美國(guó)種植的不是食物，而是經(jīng)濟(jì)作物。
If you have a yard, plant a fruit or nut tree. Even if you sell the house later, it will still benefit the environment. In many instances, it costs less than $50 to buy a tree and produces a lot when they are mature.
如果你有院子，種一棵果樹或堅(jiān)果樹。即使你將來賣掉房子，它仍然會(huì)對(duì)環(huán)境有益。在許多情況下，買一棵樹的成本不到50美元，而當(dāng)它們成熟時(shí)會(huì)產(chǎn)生大量果實(shí)。
Thanks CNBC for a great topic and it deserved more public attention
感謝CNBC提供這個(gè)話題，它值得更多的公眾關(guān)注。
Thank you to all those who grow our food.
感謝所有為我們種植食物的人。
I'm an immigrant from china. When I heard that the US government pays farmers NOT to grow crops, it just blew my mind. That's just ridiculous when prices of food is going up.
我來自中國(guó)。當(dāng)我聽說美國(guó)政府支付農(nóng)民不要種植作物時(shí)，我簡(jiǎn)直不敢相信。這真是荒謬，尤其是當(dāng)食品價(jià)格上漲時(shí)。
I wish I could get some folks to walk the creeks with me where I live. I've been doing it for many, many years and have watched what farming does to the wildlife, waterways and the land.

The biggest problem with US foods is that they are extremely heavily commercialized! You drive for hundreds or even thousands of miles and you don't even see a single fruit tree along the road. Few years back I was in Pennsylvania and saw these beautiful houses with barns and not even a single fruit tree around. I come from a little country called Albania and as you drive there you can just get out of the car walk uphill or downhill and you will find a fig tree or plum tree etc full of fruits that belong to no one and you can eat as many as you like. Literally every Albanian family who owns a house with land have fruit trees in their land and of course they grow veggies too.
美國(guó)食品最大的問題是它們被過度商業(yè)化！你開車幾百甚至幾千英里，沿途甚至看不到一棵果樹。幾年前，我在賓夕法尼亞州，看到這些漂亮的房子和谷倉(cāng)，但周圍竟然沒有一棵果樹。我來自一個(gè)叫阿爾巴尼亞的小國(guó)，在那里你可以下車，走上山坡或下坡，就能找到一棵無主的無花果樹或梅子樹，隨便吃。幾乎每個(gè)擁有土地的阿爾巴尼亞家庭都有果樹，當(dāng)然他們也種蔬菜。

We, as Americans, have been spoiled in the last 30+ years on what is available in our supermarkets. In the 80s, you only saw what was "in season". In the 90s, we started seeing what was "out of season" and now, we get watermelon and other "fresh" fruits and vegetables year 'round. People actually complain when they can't find something that wouldn't normally be "in season".

We need to recognize that food waste is a huge problem. Americans do grow a lot of food but the sextion process and distribution networks don’t allow that food to reach those that need it.
我們需要認(rèn)識(shí)到食品浪費(fèi)是一個(gè)巨大的問題。美國(guó)確實(shí)種植了大量食物，但選擇過程和分配網(wǎng)絡(luò)使得這些食物無法到達(dá)需要的人手中。

每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該盡快開始在自己的土地上種植食物，我從無花果、藍(lán)莓、覆盆子、雪花果開始，剛剛種植了木瓜，想要開始種植更大的水果，如核果類，盡可能支持本地農(nóng)場(chǎng)，依據(jù)自己的經(jīng)濟(jì)能力。

Let me add this new perspective: in WWII, our country pushed "victory gardens". And it worked. Not everyone needs a full farm or to be fully self-sufficient, but if everyone with a home was growing at least a portion of their own food, especially fresh produce, that'd make a huge dent. It might also clue people into just HOW MUCH BETTER fresh, local, actually ripened produce tastes! Let people grow some small vegetable gardens or boxes and fruit trees in their front and back yards. No need to subsidize large machinery and labor -- just let people garden outside after work. Perhaps subsidize community seed libraries or gardening classes.
讓我補(bǔ)充一個(gè)新的觀點(diǎn)：在二戰(zhàn)期間，我們國(guó)家推廣了“勝利花園”。而且它確實(shí)有效。并不是每個(gè)人都需要一個(gè)完整的農(nóng)場(chǎng)或完全自給自足，但如果每個(gè)有房子的人都種一些自己的食物，尤其是新鮮的蔬菜水果，那將會(huì)產(chǎn)生很大的影響。這也許還能讓人們意識(shí)到，新鮮的、本地的、真正成熟的農(nóng)產(chǎn)品味道有多么好！讓人們?cè)诠ぷ骱笤谇昂笤悍N些小型蔬菜花園或果樹。無需補(bǔ)貼大型機(jī)械和勞動(dòng)力——只需要讓人們?cè)谕饷娣N植?；蛟S可以資助社區(qū)種子圖書館或園藝課程。
通過一項(xiàng)法律來實(shí)現(xiàn)這一點(diǎn)。許多地方的業(yè)主協(xié)會(huì)（HOA）已經(jīng)限制了這種能力。過于嚴(yán)格的城市/縣級(jí)規(guī)定也是個(gè)問題。搬進(jìn)一塊有一英畝土地的房子，周圍是養(yǎng)有小動(dòng)物和作物的房子的人，不應(yīng)該在搬進(jìn)來之后抱怨這些事情，或者至少不應(yīng)該聽從這些人的意見，而要尊重其他人使用他們財(cái)產(chǎn)和自給自足的權(quán)利。

Big reason why corn and soybeans have been prioritized for so long is that Iowa went first in primaries for so long. If you wanted to win Iowa, you had to be pro ethanol subsidies.

EVERY neighborhood should have land to have community gardens so we can feed ourselves with easier to grow crops like tomatoes and lettuce. The farmers can grow some of the bigger needs like fruit, corn, etc. We can also have community chickens to get eggs etc.
每個(gè)社區(qū)都應(yīng)該有土地來種植社區(qū)花園，這樣我們可以種植一些易于生長(zhǎng)的作物，比如番茄和生菜。農(nóng)民可以種植一些更大規(guī)模的需求作物，如水果、玉米等。我們還可以有社區(qū)養(yǎng)雞場(chǎng)，提供雞蛋等。

in my experience, it's not that farmers aren't growing food. it's the logistics cost to get food to the market. urban development is horrible in some places, that food are not grown locally within a 15-minutes drive.
以我的經(jīng)驗(yàn)來看，并不是農(nóng)民沒有種植食物，而是物流成本讓食物無法順利進(jìn)入市場(chǎng)。在某些地方，城市開發(fā)非常糟糕，導(dǎo)致食物并沒有在15分鐘車程內(nèi)種植和供應(yīng)。

I grew up in a very rural farming community. Growing up I watched as more and more farms had to close down and consolidate and now there are maybe 3 to 4 people that own the vast majority of the land in the entire region. There were companies that supplied farmers that have also gone out of business and now there are only a few left namely MPG tractors being the only division of MPG that is still active. I do not think there is enough support for smaller farmers. You have Republican lawmakers that will come to these communities, even come out of these communities and say they’re focused on making policy to help but then once voted in, they’re in the party system, they will back policies that only support large farm and not local farm. You have Democrats who just continually ignore the issue and don’t speak to that community. It feels like an endless battle to get policy won for small farm.

We're offered a super-wide variety of fresh produce, but do we really demand it?

從現(xiàn)在起，農(nóng)場(chǎng)直接到餐桌的食品應(yīng)該成為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。我們需要重新思考超市的模式，用農(nóng)貿(mào)市場(chǎng)或合作社來取而代之。價(jià)格會(huì)降低，人們可以更有控制權(quán)地選擇購(gòu)買的東西和花費(fèi)的金額。新鮮食品、較低的價(jià)格，且不受1%富人階層的干預(yù)。
Thank you for feeding us. We should feed ourselves first then export the extra. Food imports should only be what we can't grow. Florida used to be the number one supplier of Oranges, Tangerines, Lemons and Limes. Farms were replaced with cement and asphalt so now our Orange juice is from Mexico.
感謝你們?yōu)槲覀兲峁┦澄?。我們?yīng)該首先自給自足，然后再出口多余的部分。食品進(jìn)口應(yīng)該只限于我們無法種植的東西。佛羅里達(dá)曾是橙子、柑橘、檸檬和酸橙的最大供應(yīng)地。可是農(nóng)田被水泥和瀝青取代了，所以現(xiàn)在我們的橙汁是從墨西哥進(jìn)口的。
I lived next to a mega farm. Corporate owned. He decided to put in a turkey farm not even a half mile from my house. I lived there several years before this. My son in law caught his workers literally reaching over the fence with ac
track hoe and ripping trees down on my property. But the turkeys had such a foul smell we couldn't deal with it anymore! Couldn't even go outside, some days.
我曾住在一個(gè)大型農(nóng)場(chǎng)旁邊，那個(gè)農(nóng)場(chǎng)是由公司經(jīng)營(yíng)的。他決定在離我家不到半英里的地方建一個(gè)火雞養(yǎng)殖場(chǎng)。我住在那里好多年了，在此之前沒有問題。我的女婿曾親眼看到工人們用機(jī)械挖掘機(jī)把樹從我的土地上連根拔起。但火雞的惡臭簡(jiǎn)直讓我們無法忍受！有些日子甚至不能待在戶外。
