#23 Our Food Supply Chain and the Farm to Fork Gap of Food Accessibility
“It's not realistic for most of us at this point in time to assume that we can be completely independent of the food system and what it has evolved to be."
In this episode, I talk about a topic that I find very important and has been on my mind for quite some time. Safe and accessible food is a privilege and one I believe everyone should have. In this episode, I discuss what quality food is and how it can be different for everyone. I also share my experience with disconnection from food and how it has shaped my thinking about food, as well as my experience with the food shortage that I experienced during peak COVID times and the realization that hit me regarding how we can be more involved in our food production, processing, and preparation. I would really love to hear what you think and have to say about food accessibility, so please reach out so we can continue this important and impactful conversation!
