What's For Dinner?

Karen Hansen-Kuhn Karen Hansen-Kuhn is tonight's guest. 20 years work on trade and trade policy make her feel it's urgent for the public to learn about and address huge deficiencies in the TransPacific Partnership (now in a late stage of secret negotiations). One instance - it would allow industrial agriculture to undermine sustainable alternatives, since the agreement will prevent types of investment required to make alternatives work. Now at the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, Karen describes the extraordinary, alarming scope of the agreement, and she explains the secrecy surrounding this proposed agreement - past trade negotiations carried out in public failed because the public knew and protested what was coming down!
