What is the hunger industrial complex, and who is pulling the strings in our nation’s food system? In the latest installment of our Closing the Gap series, Reset brings on a food security expert who says the problem is much bigger than we think — and that “more food” is not the answer to ending hunger in the U.S. 

Also, a farmer joins the show to share why agriculture is the “revolutionary” solution to historic injustice for Black people.
