Welcome back! In this weeks episode, I’m talking with Zack Wyatt, Founder and President of the Carolina Farm Trust, a 501(c)3 nonprofit that works to establish and support a regional food system beginning with the farmer. This work contradicts systems, industries and interests that fuel our current global food system. As you might imagine, this is not an easy mission.

In this episode we discuss what happens between farmers and our plates, why it is increasingly vital that we rely on local food, the outlook and obstacles of farming with a changing climate, the best ways to support local food, the biggest barriers to the success of an all-local food chain, and more!
