Farmers versus Foodies
There is an epic battle going on over who will call the shots for the agriculture and food system of the future. On one side are “insiders” who understand the industry and are rightly proud of it, many of whom have dedicated their lives and livelihoods to it. On the other side are “outsiders” who champion the in-vogue notion that the industry is broken – a notion that the author refers to as “Ag Humpty Dumptyism.” It’s a farmer versus foodie conundrum that has the potential to impact food security for generations to come.
