A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode of Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal Explained, hosts Lucas and Luna shift focus from Washington politics to the Great Plains, exploring how the New Deal confronted the Dust Bowl. Learn about the little-known Resettlement Administration and its successor, the Farm Security Administration, which relocated struggling farm families and promoted sustainable agriculture. Discover the role of soil conservationist Hugh Hammond Bennett, who convinced Congress that farming practices were turning the plains into a desert. Hear the story of the Shelterbelt Project, a massive tree-planting initiative that aimed to break the wind. And meet the photographers of the FSA, like Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans, who documented the human cost of the disaster and shaped America's visual memory of the era. This episode covers the intersection of environmental crisis, government intervention, and human resilience during the 1930s.
