Female Farmers and the Future of the Food System with FoodTank's Danielle Nierenberg

Today I’m speaking with Danielle Nierenberg, the cofounder of FoodTank, a successful nonprofit that’s dedicated to cultivating justice within global food systems. Danielle is literally the definition of a game changer. And the Julia Child Foundation agrees.  She now joins the ranks of Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen as a recipient of their annual award,  in recognition of her work towards building a more sustainable and equitable food system.

Danielle and I talk about everything from the rise of community supported agriculture to the future of restaurants and why empowering female farmers is essential to food security and development around the globe.

I think you’re going to leave this conversation feeling enriched and inspired, just like I did.
