Sustainable Outlook: Designing Sustainable Food Systems From Cradle to Grave: How the State of Rhode Island's Director of Food Strategy is Tackling 21st Century Obstacles

Our global economy has never produced as much food as it is generating today. This requires an immense amount of land, water, energy and packaging materials, and at end use produces a huge amount of carbon and waste. On this episode, we talk with Rhode Island's Director of Food strategy to hear what the State of Rhode Island is doing to ensure the most productive, efficient, and sustainable use of land feeding its residents, how the state is working to manage the carbon emissions attributable to food sourcing, what methods they are using to minimize waste, and their efforts to address environmental food injustice.
