Description

This week on Farm Report, Erin talks to Fred Magdoff about food security and sovereignty on both the local and international markets. With 1 in 8 families currently food insecure, how will the growing population be affected by the increase in ethanol and biodiesel fuel that is taking away from our food supply? How are government agencies dealing with this issue and planning for the future? This episode was sponsored by Hearst Ranch - the nations largest single-source supplier of grassfed and grass-finished beef.

The Farm Report is a show about the people, processes, and policies that shape how food is produced today. From the latest agricultural innovations to the day-to-day challenges of running a viable business growing vegetables and grazing cattle, host Lisa Elaine Held engages in conversations with farmers and farmworkers and the people who work alongside them—like chefs, researchers, activists, and investors. Expect from-the-field insights paired with real-world context as guests explore how producing fresh, delicious food relates to environmental and community sustainability, equality and justice, politics and policy, and better health.
