Answer: a. There were no federal regulations of water pollution at that time.

Explanation:  The Cuyahoga River in Cleveland was highly polluted by sewage and industrial waste from neighboring industrial firms in the 1960s. Inflammable materials were dumped on the banks and there was a film of oil on the water.  In June 1969, it caught fire from a spark on a train track and the resulted in a fire all over the river. It was not the first time this had happened but people had become more aware of the dangers of water pollution. The incident resulted in the launch of the Environmental Protection Agency. Before then, there were no federal regulations of water pollution .

Utilizando los conceptos soberanía alimentaria, agriculturización, monocultivo,
9966 [12]

Answer:

La frase "La fábrica que produce pobres está en el modelo rural" es una clara referencia a que el modelo rural, en contraposición con el modelo industrial imperante en la enorme mayoría de los países económicamente desarrollados, es un sistema económico de poca proyección, con baja capacidad de proyectar sus ganancias y beneficios al común de la sociedad, sino por el contrario a un selecto grupo de individuos que desarrolla la actividad a gran escala.

Así, el resto de los pequeños productores no logra escalar en el sistema, cayendo en la pobreza y sin posibilidades de acceder a una verdadera seguridad alimentaria, con lo cual se produce el éxodo rural: los campesinos pobres emigran a las ciudades en busca de oportunidades.

Si un país no tiene una economía compleja y con distintos sectores armónicamente complementarios, es muy difícil que este alcance una verdadera soberanía alimentaria (la capacidad de que cada individuo se alimente y subsista por sus propios medios): la agriculturización de la sociedad, en pleno siglo XXI, es improcedente, dado que el valor agregado de los productos industriales es la fuente de las mayores riquezas en la actualidad.

Por lo tanto, debe abandonarse el sistema rural y agricologanadero, para pasarse a un sistema mixto: industrial y con un sector agropecuario caracterizado por los monocultivos, es decir, la producción específica de bienes agrícolas para la exportación.
