Episode Summary: In this episode, hosts Leekei and Jenn dive into the topic of making more responsible food choices for both our health and the planet. 

The conversation starts with Jane discussing Barbara Kingsolver's book, "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life," which chronicles Kingsolver's family's year-long journey of consuming only locally sourced food.

Topics covered in this episode:

• The impact of Barbara Kingsolver's book and its relevance to making better food choices.
• The hidden costs of convenient, packaged foods on both personal health and the environment.
• Strategies for moving away from industrially produced foods that have adverse environmental and health impacts.
• The challenges and opportunities associated with gaining access to locally grown foods.
• Innovative approaches to urban agriculture, including growing food in apartments and the world's largest urban farm located on a rooftop in Paris.
