THE TRUE COST OF FOOD: A Case For Hyper-Regional Food Production


Listen Later

The true cost of food is something that we all need to be more concerned with, given rising temperatures, worsening weather, and growing populations around the globe. How much did your food cost in terms of water, energy, transportation, and waste? This topic is top of mind for many reasons this week. If you've heard it before, I encourage you to listen again, while truly thinking about what your favorite meal's true cost really is.


Corinna Bellizzi, show host, is presently in her first course in a PhD program in sustainability at Prescott College. As the episode commences, she shares her present lens, and why she's chosen to re-share this episode, originally published on November 8, 2023. She invites you to think about your favorite meal and its true cost as you listen to today's episode. She also encourages you to reach out via email, or message on social channels.

Marc Plinke is an inventor-innovator who started his career as a chemical and process engineer at the makers of Gore-Tex, a fabric you've all used in rain jackets. When he landed in Boulder, Colorado, he retrofitted his family's 1960s ranch house into a Beyond Net Zero Energy home. That experience led him to his second career in green building design. He spent the past decades applying his engineering mindset and expertise to building better greenhouses. Mark started Ceres Greenhouse Solutions with the intention of enabling people to grow their own food sustainably and year-round. His passion is his family, beliefs and leaving the world a better place for his kids and all of ours.
