Today Danielle Nierenberg, the cofounder of FoodTank,  comes on the show to discuss her nonprofit dedicated to cultivating justice within global food systems. Danielle is literally the definition of a game changer, and the Julia Child Foundation agrees.  She now joins the ranks of Jose Andres as a recipient of their annual award,  in recognition of her work towards building a more sustainable and equitable food system.

Danielle and I talk about everything from the rise of community supported agriculture to the future of restaurants and why empowering female farmers is essential to food security and development around the globe.

I think you’re going to leave this conversation feeling enriched and inspired, just like I did. Be sure to follow us on Instagram @kristasimmons @forkintheroadmedia for more.
