| There's a been lot of attention paid this election season to energy policy -- but what about food policy, and agricultural issues? How will our grocery stores, farm stands and dinner tables fare in the next administration? In this segment, Ira talks with author Michael Pollan about what the next president needs to know about food and agriculture. Pollan recently wrote an open letter in the New York Times to the next "farmer-in-chief." |
