Hail To The 'Farmer-In-Chief'
Michael Pollan, author of In Defense of Food and The Omnivore's Dilemma, believes that food policy should be high on the next president's agenda.
Pollan argues in an open letter in the New York Times that the way in which our food is produced, moved and consumed directly affects the life and vitality of the nation.
Food As A National Security Issue
Michael Pollan is a professor of science and environmental journalism at University of California at Berkeley.
In an open letter to the next president, author Michael Pollan writes about the waning health of America's food systems — and warns that "the era of cheap and abundant food appears to be drawing to a close."
The future president's food policies, says Pollan, will have a large impact on a wide range of issues, including national security, climate change, energy independence and health care.
Pollan is the author of The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History Of Four Meals and In Defense OF Food: An Eater's Manifesto.
