Actually the current trend is toward smaller farms located nearer the 
consumer for all the above reasons. It's not a very dynamic trend, and 
doesn't make the headlines of course, but slowly it is happening. We're
not 
going back to the 1800s as most people just want cheap food, but if you
want 
higher quality it can be found.

Try shopping at your local farmer's market instead of the supermarkets.
