Secretary Tom Vilsack: The Future of Farming and Food

The Secretary of Agriculture talks to Mark about the progress we've made in farming and agriculture in the last decade, debunking the "all farms are the same" myth and exactly why it's so important to support small farmers; the new opportunities that have been created in the farming space; why he's so concerned about rebuilding rural populations; and where the real opportunities lie.Are you liking Food with Mark Bittman?
