How One Woman Is Transforming the Food System with Danielle Nierenberg

Published: June 5, 2019, 3:04 p.m.

What if we could lift 150 million people out of hunger? By empowering women farmers with education, money, and other resources we could increase crop yields by 20 to 30% and do just that. And if you\u2019re wondering why I\u2019m specifically talking about women, it\u2019s because on a global scale women do not have the same accessibility to own land, receive loans, and other essential components of farming. Yet, they are leading the way when it comes to agriculture.\nToday on The Doctor\u2019s Farmacy I\u2019m joined by Danielle Nierenberg to talk about the foundational role women play in agriculture all over the world and how we can all become better food activists. Danielle co-founded the non-profit Food Tank in 2013 as an organization focused on building a global community for safe, healthy, nourished eaters.\nTo learn more about Food Tank, please visit https://foodtank.com/ and to find opportunities to get involved in your area, check out the Good Food Org Guide at https://goodfoodorgguide.com/.\n \nLearn more about your ad choices.
