Why vegetables are getting pricier this winter

Maybe you’ve noticed the big jump in the price of vegetables lately – 38% in November compared to October, according to new government data. Arizona farmers provide most of our leafy greens from November to March - but this winter, production could get worse because of drought in the Colorado River. Plus, what that means for child hunger in the US. And, we’re making you smarter about Sunday’s World Cup final. Guests: Axios' Jeff Tracy, University of Arizona’s Paul Brierley and Share Our Strength’s Lisa Davis.
