In this episode of Rooted & Restless, Marianne sits down with Clancy Harrison, RDN, TEDx speaker, and founder of the Food Dignity© Movement to explore food insecurity through a lens few experience firsthand.

What began as volunteer service became a transformative “aha” moment that reshaped Clancy’s understanding of hunger, dignity, and the deeper structural flaws within our food system.

What We Cover:

• Why food insecurity is more than income eligibility

• How emergency food systems often work against long-term health

• Dignity matters

• Creating a “win-win” system to pay farmers fairly while increasing access to fresh, relevant food

• Why local partnerships and community voice matter in building better models

This episode challenges us to rethink charity, nutrition, and what it truly means to nourish a community.
