On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Catherine Oakar, Executive Director of FRESHFARM. They talk about the mounting pressure eaters face after federal funding cuts, how farmers markets serve as community gathering spaces and economic engines, and why supporting our local food systems helps us build resilience.
Plus, clean energy may be out of reach for farmers, a report exposes the widespread exploitation of food workers, the WHO calls for a new approach to tackle childhood obesity, tens of millions may face crisis-level hunger, and one organization connects food banks with protein- rich seafood.
