Activists Push to Improve 2012 Farm Bill, Warn Against Cuts
Congress is poised to slash funding for the 2012 Farm Bill, sending the group Food and Water Watch on a mission to reeducate, and solicit support for revised legislation. The organization says a better bill will include subsidies, and mechanisms to ensure the money isn’t simply buoying the profit margins of agribusiness monopolies.
Uprising host Sonali Kolhatkar spoke with Food and Water Watch Assistant Director Patty Lovera on September 15, 2011.
