Multinational food companies focus almost exclusively on production and profit. Under this system, plenty of food is produced, but because of this system, billions of people around the world remain food insecure, our resources are being depleted, and our climate is suffering.
This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug talk about the public health costs associated with ultra processed foods, and how high levels of wireless radiation in urban areas are raising alarm bells with public health experts. Then Dr. Andrew Flachs talks about our worldwide food system, how small farms actually provide a model for how to fix our broken system, and why he wrote his new book, "Feeding the World As If People Mattered - How Small Farms Produce Value Beyond Yields.”
