American agriculture policy has failed. Our country is currently facing a nutritional crisis, desperation among farmers, and a reckless trade imbalance. This situation didn’t happen overnight and it represents an approach to agriculture policy that has failed farmers and families, and has put our national security at risk.
How is it that the wealthiest, most powerful country in the world, which boasts such a rich legacy of farming, can’t even feed its own people? With the farm bill up for reauthorization this year, it’s time to change what’s not working.
