What happens when climate data disappears and federal funding for farmers dries up overnight? Wes Gillingham, farmer and president of NOFA-NY, joins One Bite is Everything to unpack what’s really happening in our food system right now. From the USDA’s removal of key climate tools to the veto of New York’s Good Food Purchasing Bill, Wes reveals how policy, advocacy, and farmer action intersect—and why this matters to every eater in the country.
