Deep Dive: Fixing Our Broken Food System
Full Session
Featured Highlights
Setup
Making sure that everyone has access to safe, affordable, and healthy food, is a complex task. Consider the complicated production and distribution systems, both large and small, that need to balance environmental and labor concerns, with sometimes competing business priorities. Moving away from a system that incentivizes cheap, processed junk requires not only policy solutions, but creativity from both the private sector and the individual consumer. Failure to act has resulted in consequences ranging from hunger to heart disease. Join us as we explore the latest efforts from the grassroots, to Capitol Hill, to the aisles of your local grocery store.
