Uphold The Truth And Create Real Impact With Miyoko Schinner, Vegan Activist
Manage episode 409080479 series 2990201
Numerous corporations are currently in control of the world’s food production and distribution. Unfortunately, a lot of them are more concerned with raking in huge profits than making a real impact, leaving many people sick, hungry, and underserved. Award-winning chef, author, and entrepreneur Miyoko Schinner is actively working on making a huge difference in this space through her company, Miyoko’s Creamery. She joins Corinna Bellizzi to share how she courageously and loudly talks about the harsh truth on big shots bringing more harm than good to the food system and animal agriculture. Miyoko also explores her own efforts in achieving food sovereignty and prioritizing impact more than mere numbers. Tune in as she describes how she is making vegan cheese accessible to every household and her plans to create the world’s first vegan village in Italy.
