For nearly twenty-five years, I’ve been using my voice as a writer and public speaker and my organizing within civil society and philanthropy to promote the simple idea that our food system should protect the environment and biodiversity, promote health and wellness, and provide quality jobs with dignity. I’ve spent my career focused on working toward a world in which the food we eat is good for our bodies, for the planet, and for all those who work along the food chain. I welcome your collaboration.
