Description

"Whether it’s a salad, a hamburger or your morning egg sandwich, your meal has an impact on the environment and on the welfare of animals, food/farm workers and people." That message is at the core of the new website FoodPrint, a platform designed to educate eaters about how agriculture and other links in the food supply chain impact people and the planet. Director Jerusha Klemperer joins host Lisa Held to talk about the site's goals, its detailed reports on farming and environmental impact, and what a sustainable diet really looks like.

The Farm Report is a show about the people, processes, and policies that shape how food is produced today. From the latest agricultural innovations to the day-to-day challenges of running a viable business growing vegetables and grazing cattle, host Lisa Elaine Held engages in conversations with farmers and farmworkers and the people who work alongside them—like chefs, researchers, activists, and investors. Expect from-the-field insights paired with real-world context as guests explore how producing fresh, delicious food relates to environmental and community sustainability, equality and justice, politics and policy, and better health.
