Understanding the economics of healthy food for consumers and farmers

On Thursday February 7, the Healthy Farms Healthy People Coalition hosted an “Ask the Experts” web forum in follow-up to an August web forum in which panelists explored how the price of food affects the health of consumers and economic viability of farmers.
