In this episode of the Plutonomix Podcast, Barnaby Levin continues his and Laurie's discussion on land on his own, while she's traveling. He recaps the history and transfer of ownership between farmers and institutions and why (in this case) it's important for government to get more involved, so we don't lose control of our own food and water supply to other nations. He also talks about the pros and cons of farm-related investments.
