"Flipping the Table" Podcast

Honest Conversations About Food, Farming and the Future

Welcome to our “Flipping the Table” Podcast

Food production causes more damage to the planet than any other human activity. Global warming, lost biodiversity, degraded soil, water, air and rural economies along with epidemics of diet-related disease illustrate the challenges. And yet there is real hope. Visionaries and revolutionaries are innovating new approaches to replace harmful systems. Our podcasts present dynamic and enlightening conversations with people who are flipping the table to create new ways to feed the world. Their ideas will inspire action and positivity in our challenging times and appeal to listeners and sponsors who hunger for the creation of healthy and resilient people, communities and economies.
