1. Ken Meter: On The American Third World (Trailer) Ken Meter, president of the Crossroads Resource Center, discusses with Peter Shea in September 2012 his path to studying food security and the trends he has observed firsthand in his work with American farmers. He goes on to describe the features and uses of a food economy study, the weaknesses in the current agricultural system, parallels between rural and inner-city America, the promise and pitfalls of Farm to School programs and food policy councils, what food store chains are doing for the movement, and why industrial agriculture might be bad for democracy.

Changes in food and crop prices in this region are influenced...
...by global economic factors, as well as by regional supply and demand.
This statement was based on a passage from "Finding Food in Farm Country"
International trade policies have undermined commodity prices that were already low, and global economic uncertainty has weakened foreign markets that were once reliable to the region's growers.
And it is reflected in statements from the Institute of Food Technologists...
By focusing on public policy, food laws, and regulations that have national and international implications for the food industry, research, and consumer food safety, IFT keeps science at the center of related decision making.
...and the Minnesota Milk Producers Association.
International trade policies have a significant impact on Minnesota dairy producers... The goal of U.S. trade policy and future trade agreements should be to expand access to profitable markets for exports of U.S. dairy and other agricultural products.
