Episode Details

The American family farm is being systematically wiped out, and corporate monopolies are taking over our food supply. I’m joined by Joe Maxwell of the Farm Action Fund to unveil the newly launched Bipartisan Rural Independence Initiative and discuss how decades of disastrous federal policies, loose money from the Federal Reserve, and corporate wealth extraction have pillaged rural America. Whether you live in a city, a suburb, or the country, the loss of our food sovereignty impacts you directly. Maxwell is trying to bridge the political divide by finding diverse candidates who commit to reversing the Farm Bill policies that have created monopolies and have put us at the mercy of foreign and unhealthy sources for our food.
