En EE. UU., un agricultor medio gana menos de 15 centavos por cada dólar de un producto que adquirimos en las tiendas. Los agricultores alimentan a nuestra comunidad, pero con frecuencia no pueden permitirse los productos que cultivan. En esta práctica charla, el emprendedor social Mohammad Modarres muestra como poner en práctica nuestro poder de compra para salvar la agricultura local del desastre y transformar la industria alimentaria desde abajo.
