Food Tank and Duke University’s World Food Policy Center
recently hosted the “Empowering
Eaters” Summit in support of the National Strategy on Hunger,
Nutrition, and Health. This
episode of “Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg” features two fireside
chats from the event.
First, hear from award-winning chef, author, educator, and advocate
Sean Sherman, who sits
down with Dani to discuss the harm colonization has caused to
Indigenous food systems, the
investment needed to undo this damage and support Native
communities, and why it’s more
important than ever before to build resilience. Then, Dani speaks
with Baldemar Velasquez, the
International President and Founder of the Farm Labor Organizing
Committee (FLOC). They
explore the false division that exists between farmers and farm
workers, the skill and effort
required of farm workers, and the potential benefits of minimum
commodity prices for growers.
