What's For Dinner?

Tonight's Guest: Eric Holt-Giminez The year's first guest is Eric Holt-Giminez, Executive Director of Food First, the group founded by Francis Moore Lappe 40 years ago. Social movements, small farmers, and many policy makers and experts now think agroecology can meet the global south's agricultural development challenges and help restore productivity to the global north's degraded agricultural land. A one-time farmer and researcher working with Latin American small farmers, Eric's entire career has focused on this suite of problems and solutions. Knowing this scene well, Eric believes grassroots work for sustainability, food sovereignty and food justice could make the difference they need to make, as long as local efforts can connect across borders and find supporters to mobilize political will.
