Marcie Sillman speaks with Dr. Joshua Meltzer, Global Economy and Development fellow at the Brookings Institution, about the trade talks between the U.S. and European Union on foods labeled with geographical indicators. The EU wants companies that make products like Parmesan and feta to stop using those names.

Marcie also hears from Rhonda Gothberg, founder of Gothberg Farms and cheesemaker, about how these label changes would affect her business.
