USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins: Food prices are beginning to settle down and stabilize

Published | Video Starts at 06:35

We have an incredible food supply system here in America. But I would like to say it goes to the larger discussion that we're having that we've got to be able to feed ourselves, that Over the last number of years we became a net importer of food. In 2023, we can't do that anymore. We have to feed ourselves. And, and again, this lettuce that we're studying right now came from out of our country. It's time we start reshoring our food back to America and that's what we're working on. (06:35–06:42)
