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.

The 1410th edition of the Food Chain Radio Podcast with Michael Olson
Guest: Matt Mulica, Senior Project Director, Keystone Policy Center
Imagine being in a business that loses 55 percent of its business in one year, and nearly that much in the previous year. Such is the state of the North American beekeeper. And so we ask:
Is there a strategy to save the honey bee and its keepers?
The 1410th edition of the Food Chain Radio Podcast with Michael Olson hosts Matt Mulica, Senior Project Director, Keystone Policy Center, for a conversation about saving the bee, bee keepers, and the domestic business of honey.
Topics include why a strategy is needed to save the western honey bee; how the North American bee industry decided what that strategy would be; and how a coalition of industry groups was fashioned into a cohesive group to implement the strategy.
