As more people confront the realities of climate change, our society’s relationship with food is changing. This week, the ways we access our food.

We also hear from an indigenous ethnobotanist who shares the ways we can all lessen our impact on nature. And, a conversation with a young activist and academic fighting to end food deserts. Guests:   William Reid – Food waste expert, dumpster diver and director of the documentary "Trash Empire". Rosalyn LaPier – Ethnobotanist and Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Montana. She is an enrolled member of the Blackfeet Tribe.
