U.S. Farm Bill has global implications for food security

Mar 7 2012

In this ONE Blog post, Jennifer Wynn, an intern with ONE's policy team, reports on a recent panel discussion held at George Washington University that examined the U.S. Farm Bill and its implications for global hunger and food security. "I would have never thought to make a connection between our farms and farms around the world ... [b]ut after an evening with some of the field's experts, it's clear to me that domestic policy on agriculture has far-reaching impacts," she writes. The panel included Ken Cook, president and co-founder of the Environmental Working Group; Margaret Krome of the Michael Fields Agricultural Institute; and former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman (3/5).
