Darci Vetter - US Department of Agriculture - discusses the EU-US trade deal from an agricultural perspective.

Food insecurity is a lucrative endeavor for U.S. agribusiness corporations. As a matter of course, hunger has taken a backseat to maintaining a dominant trade position when it comes to U.S. trade negotiations and domestic policy.
