Corporate Power in Food: A Conversation with Author Austin Frerick
2024-07-18 19:00 - 21:00 | Via Zoom
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

Join 7th generation Iowan and author Austin Frerick, author of “Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry” for a Rural Caucus Forum. Austin is an expert on agricultural and antitrust policy. He is a Fellow of the Thurman Arnold Project at Yale University, an initiative that brings together faculty, students, and scholars to collaborate on research related to competition policy and antitrust enforcement. He also serves on the Board of Directors for Common Good Iowa and the Socially Responsible Agriculture Project. Barons is the story of seven titans of the food industry, their rise to power, and the consequences for workers, eaters, and democracy itself. Barons paints a stark portrait of corporate consolidation, but it also shows that a fair, healthy, and prosperous food industry is possible—if we take back power from the barons who have robbed us of it.
