On today’s show Congressman Dan Kildee joins us to talk about the dispute arising from Mexico’s ban on genetically modified (GMO) corn from the US, which contradicts the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Former President Lopez Obrador’s decree, intended to protect Mexican growers, uses non-scientific barriers, breaching the agreement’s terms. The current dispute resolution aims to lift the restriction and reinforce US farmers’ rights.
We also talk with Drue Banta Winters, campaign manager for Stronger America Through Seafood, who discusses the organization’s goals to expand aquaculture in U.S. federal waters. Winters highlights NOAA’s National Seafood Strategy Implementation Plan, focusing on improving U.S. aquaculture through regulatory and legislative support for offshore operations.
