Summary

On April 30, the US House of Representatives passed its version of the Farm Bill. If it is approved by the Senate, it will be the first comprehensive farm bill since 2018. On today’s show, host Douglas Haynes is joined by journalist Lisa Held to talk about what’s in the farm bill, the controversy it sparked, and what it could mean for the US food system.
