African Swine Fever reaches Americas – Threatens #1 Pork Exporter, USA
by Ice Age Farmer | Jul 31, 2021 | Podcast
African Swine Fever, which destroyed 70% of China’s pork, has been confirmed in the Americas. Though the USDA assures us all is well due to new biosecurity measures, failures to contain ASF in China, Germany, and elsewhere suggest otherwise.
Could this lead to the shutdown of the #1 pork exporter in the world – and do unimaginable damage to farmers in the USA? Is traditional farming and ranching really too dirty and dangerous to continue, or is this part of the war on meat? Christian breaks it down in this Ice Age Farmer broadcast.

Fundamental change needed in the U.S. food systemBased upon dialogues with over 100 experts and practitioners, this paper integrates the insight, analysis, experience, and effort of a large array of organizations that have long been working to improve our food system. Drawing deeply on this knowledge, this paper puts forth a framework to build a food system that delivers healthy and affordable food, provides a decent standard of living and safe working conditions to laborers, ensures the viability of family farms and rural communities, and protects the environment and human health while still delivering fair returns to a broader set of shareholders. The systems change described here will take all of us. Federal, state and local governments have a key role to play, and so do civil society and faith-based organizations, social movements, health care and education institutions, national security institutions, philanthropy, research institutions, and private industry.
