Agricultural production continues to reach record levels, yet serious threats to food security remain. In this episode, Damian Mason challenges the dominant narrative that climate change is the primary risk to global food production. Instead, he examines structural and policy-driven risks that could truly reduce agricultural output.
From regulatory overreach and political confrontation to the weaponization of trade and the collectivization of farming systems, Damian outlines the forces that could meaningfully impact America’s agricultural productive capacity and global food supply chains. This episode delivers a data-driven perspective on agricultural productivity, food security policy, and geopolitical risk in modern agribusiness.
If you work in agriculture, agribusiness, or food production strategy, this discussion provides critical insight into the real vulnerabilities facing the industry.
