V&B Extra: Food and Trump’s Border Wall

By: Jack Anderson

The Lorano Long Conference brought many great thinkers and activists to the campus of The University of Texas in February to talk about, “New Perspectives on the Contemporary Food System in Latin America.” The Secret Ingredient Podcast’s Raj Patel, Tom Philpott and Rebecca McInroy took that opportunity to talk with Dr. Alexis Racelis from the department of Agroecology and Urban Ecology, Natural Resources Management at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, and Farmer Lois Kim about how the proposed expansion of the border wall under Trump may affect communities and food production along the border.
