143. An Appetite for Adaptation
Welcome back to our series on the Future of Food!
In this episode, we\u2019ll explore the significance of adaptive transformation in global food systems.\xa0 How do farming and consumption play into creating an inclusive, just, and beautiful future?\xa0
From empowering women farmers in Africa, to telling the story behind every piece of organic produce, from considering food value over food price, to what to ask at your grocery store, we examine why urgent transformation is needed to protect the people \u2013\xa0and land \u2013 growing our food against the increasingly devastating impacts of climate change.
