Concerns about safety, availability of produce in our supermarket aisles

from WORT 89.9FM Madison · host WORT 89.9FM Madison

Safe, affordable produce is increasingly hard to come by in the United States. Just this year, there have been at least 13,000 confirmed cases of cyclospora across the nation – and cuts to FDA inspections could be a main culprit. Meanwhile, the U.S. Farm Bill has stalled once again in Congress due to partisan conflict over federal food aid. Pete Hardin and Bert Zipperer take a closer look, in this edition of “The Milkweed.”
