On “Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg”, Dani talks with Michelle Miller about the role of the government in ensuring equitable access to food supply chain data. Miller discusses how information asymmetry, where some companies do not have the same access to data on food production, distribution, and consumption, negatively impacts small, independent food producers and leads to unstable food supply chains. She highlights how the Biden Administration is working to address these inequalities in their July 2021 Executive Order.
