392. Lessons on Building Multigenerational Farming and Food Systems

During a recent Summit co-hosted by Food Tank and Niman Ranch, speakers gathered to discuss the role that everyone can play to support independent family farmers, the changing meat sector, and the opportunities we can build through food. This week’s episode of “Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg” features two discussions from the event. First, hear why a strong relationship between chefs and food producers is so important to building a sustainable food system. Then, dive into a policy discussion as experts unpack the recent decision to uphold Proposition 12 and protect animal welfare.

Speakers include Gustavo Arellano, Columnist, Los Angeles Times; Helena Bottemiller Evich, Founder, FoodFix; Jamey Fader, Chef, Marczyk Fine Foods; Chris Green, Executive Director, Harvard University’s Brooks McCormick Jr. Animal Law & Policy Program; Julia Jordan, SeniorSustainability Director, Compass Group North America; Jo Lerma-Lopez, Chef, Luna Mexican Kitchen; Pushkar Marathe, Chef, Ela Curry Kitchen and Stage; Chris Oliviero, General Manager, Niman Ranch; and Michael Showers, Chef, High West.
