Food Tank, in partnership with Barr Mansion and Driscoll’s, recently hosted the All Things Food Summit at SXSW. This episode of “Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg” features two conversations from the event focused on the health and wellbeing of future generations in policy. First, Admiral Rachel L. Levine, Assistant Secretary for Health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, sits down with Dani to discuss the collaborative, whole of government approach that is being implemented to support healthy, nourished, and thriving communities.

Then, Dani moderates a conversation on access, affordability, and healthier food environments which touches on federal programs that need protection and expansion to ensure that people can feed their families and the innovative partnerships that are helping the federal government advance their National Strategy to end hunger and support the wellbeing of all eaters. Speakers include Will McIntee, Senior Advisor for Public Engagement in The White House Office of Public Engagement; Kelliann Blazek, Special Assistant to the President for Agriculture and Rural Policy; Judy A. Monroe, MD, President and CEO of the CDC Foundation; and Hartina M. "Tina" Flournoy, an American political advisor who served as Chief of Staff to Vice President Kamala Harris from 2021 to 2022.
