Eating Matters

On this episode of Eating Matters, host Jenna Liut speaks with guests Alicia Harvie, Advocacy and Issues Director at Farm Aid, and Brian Barth, writer-at-large for Modern Farmer, about farmers' overwhelming support for Trump in the 2016 election. We discuss the policies and motivations behind why farmers arguably voted against their best interests, and what the expected repercussions the Trump Administration will have on the farming community.

Today on Eating Matters we will be talking all about the need to shift the current food system model, lessons we can learn from other sectors like energy, transportation and water already engaged in modernizing their systems, and how institutional food procurement is one of the most effective intervention points to do so.

Joining us to do so is Paula Daniels. Paula is Co-founder and Chair of the Center for Good Food Purchasing, a social enterprise non-profit founded in July of 2015 as a national spin off from the Los Angeles Food Policy Council, which she founded in 2011. She is a public policy leader in environmental food and water policy, and is currently serving as an appointee of Governor Brown to the California Water Commission.
