Finance Rea Hederman Jr. talks through several key recommendations from the Buckeye Institute's report to reduce the harmful economic impacts of ESG and net zero policies on farmers and the food supply. These recommendations include withdrawing from international climate accords revoking funding and tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act building coalitions against ESG and promoting beneficial farming practices at the local level as alternatives to top-down government control.

Kevin Freeman and Rea Hederman Jr. discuss the direct and indirect costs net zero policies inflict on farmers, including increased prices for diesel, carbon, and fertilizer. Problems arising from these inflated costs are compounded by an increase in regulatory compliance procedures, which further impact the livelihoods of family-owned farms and the overall food supply chain.
