#172 Austin Frerick "How the Corporate Takeover of Food Is Hurting Farmers and Consumers"
Manage episode 425275024 series 2939151
In this compelling podcast episode, listeners are taken on an eye-opening journey through the world of corporate dominance and systemic issues within the modern food system. Brian interviews Austin, an insightful author, who sheds light on the consolidation of the food industry, exposing legislative and corporate tactics that favor giant corporations like Cargill, Walmart, and JBS. The discussion covers the farm bill's evolution, regulatory failures, and the influential role of checkoff programs. With a critical look at the inefficiencies and corruption within the USDA, they explore the impacts of political lobbying, ultra-processed foods, and industrial farming on communities and the environment. The conversation also highlights how media shapes public perception and policies, and presents ideas for systemic reform, emphasizing the need for transparency, sustainable farming practices, and equitable support for small farmers.
Austin is an expert on agricultural and antitrust policy. During the 2020 presidential campaign, he advised candidates Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigieg on agricultural policy before ultimately serving as Co-Chair of the Biden campaign’s Agriculture Antitrust Policy Committee. He is a Fellow of the Thurman Arnold Project at Yale University, an initiative that brings together faculty, students, and scholars to collaborate on research related to competition policy and antitrust enforcement. He also serves on the Board of Directors for Common Good Iowa and the Socially Responsible Agriculture Project. In 2022, The Advocate named him a "Champion of Pride.”
He recently published his debut book, Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry, which profiles a series of powerful magnates to illustrate the concentration of power in the American food system
