Imagine strolling down memory lane, only to find yourself at the intersection of journalism, farming, and climate change. That’s exactly where the Supermarket Guru Phil Lempert found himself during a recent conversation with multimedia maven and friend, Chip Carter. The founder of CBC3 Media and creator of the evocative television show, Where the Food Comes From. Chip and Phil unpack the complexities of modern agriculture and the seismic challenges posed by climate change. Together, they navigate the hard truths about farming, exploring issues from the impacts of a changing climate on our farmers to the resilience required to overcome such adversity.
As the two delved deeper into the labyrinth of agriculture, they found themselves examining the role it plays in our daily lives, from the produce on our supermarket shelves to the mountainous waste we create. With Chip’s insight, they untangle the thorny issue of food waste in the US, the organizations working tirelessly to reduce it, and how ‘ugly’ produce could be our secret weapon against this mammoth problem. In the final leg of the journey, Phil and Chip contemplate the evolving consumer landscape, the pressing need for sustainable business practices, and how we, as consumers, can play a part in this important change.
So, buckle up and get ready for a conversation loaded with hard-hitting truths and eye-opening insights, where everything from farming to food waste, consumer behaviors to climate change are discussed!
