Book Description
The pig played a key role in the German Democratic Republic's attempts to create a modern, industrial food system built on communist principles. By the mid-1980s, East Germany produced more pork per capita than West Germany and the UK, while also suffering the unintended consequences of manure pollution, animal disease, and rolling food shortages. The pig is a highly adaptive animal, and Thomas Fleischman uncovers three types of pig that played roles in this history: the industrial pig, remade to suit the conditions of factory farming; the wild boar, whose overpopulation was a side effect of agricultural development; and the garden pig, reflective of the regime's growing acceptance of private farming within the planned economy. Fleischman chronicles East Germany's journey from family farms to factory farms, explaining how communist principles shaped the adoption of industrial agriculture practices. More broadly, Fleischman argues that agriculture under communism came to reflect the practices of capitalist agriculture, and that the pork industry provides a clear illustration of this convergence. His analysis sheds light on the causes of the country's environmental and political collapse in 1989 and offers a warning about the high cost of cheap food in the present and future. Communist Pigs was a finalist for the Turku Book Award, European Society for Environmental History.

Book Description
Excerpt from Hogs and Pigs: Final Estimates for 1979-82 Hog and Pig estimates were published on a current basis during l979-82 in quarterly and annual reports. Primary data used in setting the current hog estimates were obtained from producers by probability surveys. Survey samples included all known extremely large producers and a sample of smaller producers. Information was collected by mail, telephone, and personal interviews. Since all operations with hogs were not included in the sample, survey estimates are subject to sampling variability. This variability, as measured by the relative standard error, is about 2 percent at the u.s. Level for the hog inventory. This means that chances are approximately 95 out of loo that a survey estimate will be within 4 percent of the complete coverage value if the same procedures are used to survey all producers. Survey estimates are also subject to non-sampling errors such as omissions, duplications, errors in recording and processing the data, and mistakes in reporting. These problems cannot be measured directly, but are minimized through rigid quality' controls during the data collection process, and a careful review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness. Lists of hog producers are updated annually in each State prior to sampling. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
