Investigate Midwest

A new reporting project from our summer writing intern Caspar Dowdy will examine the growing interest in natural fibers and what it could mean for American agriculture.

Caspar is exploring an unexpected debate emerging from the (Make America Healthy Again) movement. As some advocates and policymakers push for greater use of natural fibers and renewed investment in American production, he's examining what that could mean for farmers, competing crops and the environment.
