The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the shortcomings of the system and threatens to disrupt the entire industry, from farmers to processing plants to grocery store shelves. Former Iowa Governor and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack explains how food banks are reporting a 70% increase in demand from communities while farmers are forced to dump milk or let animal products go to waste.
