Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle. The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from the city developers that their father has worked on since he was 14. While she is confident they will succeed, she lists farming’s many challenges. "You don’t often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating," she said. "There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!"
Oliver Robinson, 25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire. But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather’s land. "I’m sure Dad hoped I’d stay," he said. "I guess it’s a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn’t appeal. For ambitious young people, farm life would be a hard world. " For Robinson, fanning doesn’t offer much in terms of money or lifestyle. Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards; "providing for a vital human need, while working outdoors with nature".
Farming is a big political issue in the UK. "Buy British" campaigns encourage consumers not to buy cheaper imported foods. The 2001 "foot and mouth crisis" closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness of troubles in British farming. Jamie Oliver’s 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue. This national concern brings hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets. While most people buy food from the big supermarkets, hundreds of independent Farmers’ Markets are becoming popular.
According to the passage, Farmers’ Markets are becoming popular because________.
选项
A、thousands of farms are closed
B、farmers are the owners of the markets
C、more people are concerned about healthy food
D、Jamie Oliver’s 2005 campaign urges people to "Buy British"
答案
C
解析
根据最后一段最后两句“This national concern brings hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets. While most people buy food from the big supermarkets, hundreds of independent Farmers’ Markets are becoming popular. ”可知,这种全国性的关注为与强大的超市竞争的农民带来了希望;虽然大多数人从大超市购买食品,但许多独立的农贸市场正变得受欢迎。再根据上文提到的口蹄疫危机和提倡儿童吃健康食品的运动可推知,人们去农贸市场是因为那里的食品更安全、更健康,即农贸市场正变得受欢迎是因为更多人关注健康食品。A项是口蹄疫危机的后果;B、D两项在文中并未提及。故选C。
