On July 8th, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced that the administration is determined to reclaim farmland owned by what it calls "foreign adversaries" and to establish a "100% American workforce" in agriculture.

But how much U.S. farmland is actually owned by foreign governments?

When did this trend begin?

Has there ever truly been a 100% American agricultural workforce?

And when did immigrants first begin working on American farms?

In this month’s livestream of The History of Fresh Produce, John and Patrick dive into the historical roots of these questions, unpack the claims made by the current Trump administration, and explore what this could mean for the future of American agriculture.

In our final Livestream of the year, we’re diving into a topic that’s on everyone’s mind: gladiators!

With the release of Gladiator II last month, John and Patrick will unpack the role of produce in the diets of gladiators. Who exactly were the gladiators? Did these fierce athletes eat their veggies? How did their diet impact their performance in the colosseum? Are the chiseled physiques we see on film historically accurate? And most importantly, could John and Patrick survive a gladiatorial battle?

To wrap things up, the duo will reflect on the highlights of 2024, share a sneak peek at what’s coming in 2025, and, if time permits, answer questions from listeners.
