On this episode of Ranching Reboot, we talk to Mike Callicrate and Brian Alexander about the challenges facing the meat industry and the need to rebuild America's food system. They discuss the effects of Upton Sinclair's book "The Jungle" on the industry and how corporate control has led to the closure of small businesses. Mike Callicrate proposes a model of marketplace development to help rural America keep money in the community and support family farmers. They also discuss the need for more local food systems and enforcement of predatory pricing by big food companies.
