Will Robert F. Kennedy’s Misguided Activism Set Back 70 Years Of Agricultural Innovation?

What happens if Robert F. Kennedy, the self-described “extreme environmentalist” who rails against “factory farms,” is in charge of the Department of Agriculture? The trust fund heir turned environmental lawyer turned politician led the first lawsuits against Monsanto, and he’s on the record as saying we can end diabetes with organic food. Those are just a few of the alarm bells Damian Mason and his guest, Dr. Josh Miller cite in this discussion about misguided political movements and their impact on the Business of Agriculture.

If you don’t think this could happen, know this:

Robert F. Kennedy released video on October 14th standing in front of the USDA building in Washington, DC stating, "When @DonaldJTrump gets me inside the USDA, we're going to give farmers an off-ramp from the current system that destroys soil, makes people sick, and harms family farms.” This is part of RFK Junior’s “Make America Healthy Again” campaign coinciding with the Trump campaign.
