In this episode, Dr. Julie Guthman discusses her latest book, The Problem with Solutions: Why Silicon Valley Can’t Hack the Future of Food. She critiques the narrow, short-term solutions for food and agriculture promoted by Silicon Valley, urging us to move beyond these capital-driven, "techno-solutionist" approaches that fail to create a truly just and sustainable food system.

Dr. Guthman is a distinguished professor of sociology at the University of California, Santa Cruz. For nearly three decades, her research and teaching have focused on how neoliberal capitalism shapes and limits potential transformations in the food system.
