Planting Seeds of Change in the Cracks with Dr. Brannon Andersen, Part One

We talk a lot about eating more plant-rich to help reduce our carbon footprints. But eating predominantly plant-based has broader implications. To learn more, we spoke with Dr. Brannon Andersen, professor of Earth, Environmental, and Sustainability Sciences at Furman University about eating as a revolutionary act. This week, in part one of the conversation, we discuss: What our food cravings might really be based on. The actual costs of sustaining a Western diet. What it would take to create real change in our food systems. How to reduce the cost of food, and what we’re doing wrong. Tune in this week for Dr. Andersen's insights and come back next week for part 2 where we dig deeper into food as a revolutionary act, how our systems came to be, and so much more.
