Farmer-in-Chief

October 10, 2008

Michael Pollan, author of the Omnivore's Dilemma, writes an open letter to the next President Farmer-in-Chief. "This, in brief, is the bad news: the food and agriculture policies you’ve inherited -- designed to maximize production at all costs and relying on cheap energy to do so -- are in shambles, and the need to address the problems they have caused is acute. The good news is that the twinned crises in food and energy are creating a political environment in which real reform of the food system may actually be possible for the first time in a generation."
