As a consequence, our agriculture sector actually is contributing more greenhouse gases than our transportation sector. And in the mean time, it's creating monocultures that are vulnerable to national security threats, are now vulnerable to sky-high food prices or crashes in food prices, huge swings in commodity prices, and are partly responsible for the explosion in our healthcare costs because they're contributing to type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease, obesity, all the things that are driving our huge explosion in healthcare costs. That's just one sector of the economy. So what the heck does he want the farmers to do? Grow what HE thinks is right to grow? Besides being insane and totally ignorant of agribusiness, this man is a megalomaniac!

Meat/dairy industries are next on the radar...cows fart producing tons of greenhouse gases.

Food is OUT to save the planet? That’s just diabolical. The guy who talks about common sense has none. Guess we’ll be eating dirt.
