Description (by presenter): "American agriculture is the most productive in the world. With advances in chemistry, biotechnology, and mechanization we produce food more cheaply and abundantly than any other producer. However, with 20% of America's imported fossil fuels going to agriculture in the form of motor fuels and petrochemicals, any oil shock can send food prices soaring. Is our method of agriculture really sustainable?"
