Officials in Florida and elsewhere are fed up with such farming façades, which exploit tax breaks that, ironically, were meant to combat sprawl.

But in South Carolina--where a $7 million, five-acre beachfront lot on upscale Kiawah Island is taxed just $9.60 as timberland--the agricultural commissioner has said "defining what a 'real farm' is can be very difficult...
Nepal, a country of 25 million, used to have three centers of power--the King, the political parties and a rebel Maoist army holed up in the Himalayas.

"Globally, we're producing enough food not only to be well fed but to get chubby," says Lappé. "If more citizens rather than corporations had a say in decisions being made about our food, there wouldn't be any hunger...
