IDFA (International Dairy Foods Association) published its first podcast on focus on how the COVID-19 pandemic has helped stir up unprecedented volatility, while exposing government’s invisible hand (or perhaps just it’s thumb, resting on the scales of the market) during the crisis. In the podcast Senior Research Fellow Joseph Glauber breaks down the federal government’s intervention in food and commodities and explores why the government currently favors direct payments and purchase programs over more traditional safety nets. Republished in Cision PR Newswire, White Salmon Enterprise, Daily Sun, WFMZ, Benzinga, and more than a dozen other media outlets.
