YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

It's two decades since Tasmanian vegetable growers led one of Australia's biggest agricultural protests to Canberra. The tractor-powered Fair Dinkum Food Campaign pushed for an overhaul of food labeling and for consumers to buy locally grown produce. While labelling improved, farmers say 20 years on, local growers and manufacturers are battling for survival, forced to compete against the rising tide of cheap imports. Landline's Laurissa Smith explains.
