Good Law | Bad Law

As we celebrate the holiday season, let’s remember that because of COVID and the economic fallout, more and more Americans are depending on food distribution centers for a meal. Thinking of those who have so little in this country of such plenty, we are reposting this episode on food insecurity.     How do we think about agriculture in America? How should we think about it? And, how is food security affecting us in today’s COVID-19 crisis?   Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Laurie Ristino, a food security expert with Johns Hopkins University, to discuss food security, the idea of rural resilience, today’s “food movement,” impacts of the Farm Bill and more.     What is food security? And, what is the urgency today? Laurie explains that food security is the idea that all people, at all times, should have access to physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs.  L
