On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Dr. Peter Goldsmith, a Professor in the Department of Agricultural & Consumer Economics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, for Part 7 of Food Tank's series exploring the far-reaching impacts of dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development. They discuss Goldsmith's reaction to the sudden loss of federal funding for the Soybean Innovation Lab, how he's kept his work alive, and why we can never replace the patient work of publicly-supported research.
Plus, the U.S. midterm election results could reshape food and farming systems, USDA commits additional funding for farm to school programs, a new report reveals the shortcomings of global agricultural investments, and Haiti's hunger crisis worsens.
