Remaking Food and Farm Policy in the United States

The political rise of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement in the United States has sparked unprecedented interest in US food and farm policy, including subjects such as food chemicals, pesticides, and ultra-processed foods. Kennedy and his adherents in the MAHA movement are demanding sweeping reforms of food and farm policies, challenging powerful interest groups, and inviting new questions from food consumers. Remaking Food and Farm Policy in the United States examines how food and farm law and policy dramatically impacts food safety, food prices, nutrition, hunger, and the fate of the people who feed us. The book summarizes law and policy related to nutrition, hunger, food labels, food marketing, food chemicals, farm subsidies, farm pollution, farm animal welfare, and food and farm workers. It considers how the MAHA movement may reshape our food and looks forward, proposing needed policy reforms.
