How the Food
Processing Industry is
Diversifying Rural Minnesota
by Katherine Fennelly
and Helga Leitner
University of Minnesota
Working
Paper No. 59
December 2002
Abstract:
In this paper the authors argue that the diversification of rural
Minnesota is largely the result of the restructuring of the food processing
industry,
and the subsequent recruitment of low wage laborers. They begin with
a brief discussion of demographic changes in the state as a whole, and
in rural Minnesota. This is followed by an analysis of the relationship
between the location of food processing industries and the diversity
of the population, using different measures of diversity. They conclude
with a discussion of the benefits and challenges that “new diversity” poses
for rural communities.
