Summary: Climate change is coming for your food. In the American Heartland, farmers are battling increasingly severe weather, with epic floods and heat. Nearly half the land in the United States is used to grow crops and food animals, and agriculture accounts for an impossible to ignore 10 percent of our total greenhouse gas emissions. If we’re serious about fighting climate change, we need farmers to be part of the solution. Hot Farm, a new hour-long documentary based on the four-part podcast of the same name from the Food & Environment Reporting Network and hosted by Eve Abrams, is about what the people who grow our food are doing, or could be doing, to combat climate change.
