Episode 1: China, Meat, & Volatility

In this episode of Local Food TV and Radio, we cover a range of food-related stories from around the world, the nation, and locally. We begin with concerns over China's shrinking farmland and its potential impact on the country's food security. Next, we discuss new labeling requirements for meat products in the USA, which aim to provide consumers with more information about where their food comes from.
