Podcasting - The Leading Voices in Food Series

I produce The Leading Voices in Food podcast series for the World Food Policy Center at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy. Our vision is to offer wide-ranging perspectives and knowledge from researchers, community leaders, policymakers, farmers and more. We want to introduce new ideas and people, shift your thinking in topics you know well, and contribute to movement towards equity and resilience in the food system. We feature topics across the food system spectrum such as food insecurity, obesity, agriculture, food access and equity, food safety, food defense, and food policy issues.
