In this week's episode, we dive into all things glyphosate with the one and only Glyphosate Girl. Her name is Kelly Ryerson and she came into the advocacy space after her own health journey and a court case that happened in her own backyard. She started writing about what she was learning and experiencing and now she is on Capitol Hill raising awareness of the harmful effects of glyphosate in our agriculture and food systems.
Kelly works at the intersection of pesticides, nutrition and health as a writer, speaker and policy consultant. She started the news site Glyphosate Facts, an educational resource to help spread awareness of the health impacts of chemical agriculture. Kelly previously worked in investment banking, private equity, and NASA technology commercialization. She has a BA from Dartmouth College and an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
In this episode, we dive into topics like:
- What glyphosate actually is and why it's harmful to humans and the planet
- How big business creates both the problem and the solution
- What advocacy in the USA's capitol looks like
- How citizens can practically be advocates for a cleaner, healthier future
- About art and why it's the missing piece
