Despite the popular narrative, American agriculture is not feeding the world—nor, increasingly, itself. With 40% of U.S. corn diverted to ethanol production and a persistent $50 billion agricultural trade deficit, systemic inefficiencies are being exposed. Damian Mason is joined by Joe Maxwell of Farm Action Fund to examine the disconnect between production agriculture and food supply, the impact of policy mandates, and the path toward a more food-focused, self-reliant agricultural model. This episode explores reform, opportunity, and the urgent need to reframe the role of U.S. agriculture in domestic and global food systems.
