So why, other than the completely obvious reasons, are the issues of food safety, industrial farming and a globalized food supply so critical now?

It is not difficult to produce safe food, it is not difficult to keep the food safe through processing, it is not difficult for farmers, workers and consumers to share the benefits of a local food system. What is difficult is expecting safe food from a system run by profit oriented corporations and overseen by bureaucrats who were part of that same corporate food system.
Both candidates called for change, so lets see it.
