It’s a fact! 100% of men, women and children eat food, and 97.5% of must buy their food from others who bring it from an average of 2,000 miles away. And so the hungry ask: ”What’s in this tomato? Who planted that broccoli? Is it safe to eat genetically engineered corn? Why are they irradiating meat? Are we running short of water? Why is China growing our apples? What will happen to us if we can no longer farm? How safe is our food chain?” The Food Chain is an audience-interactive syndicated newstalk radio program and podcast broadcasting weekly on radio stations and streaming on demand on the internet.

According to a University of Minnesota survey, 75% of people trust farmers, but only 24% trust food. That leads us to ask:
Why do so many people trust farmers, but so few trust food?
The Food Chain Radio Show - Podcast with Michael Olson hosts Dennis Bulani, 4rth Generation Saskatchewan farmer, CEO of The Rack Petroleum & Author About Food: What a Farmer Wants you to Know, for a conversation about the efficacy and safety of industrial agriculture’s food.
Topics include: why so many people trust farmers, but so few trust food; what the farmer would like people to know about the efficacy and safety of his food; and whether people can be made to trust food that comes from so far away.
