There's a saying in food justice: "There's plenty of food to feed everyone! The problem is distribution."
But when we talk about reforming the food system, farms get all the spotlight. We rarely focus on distribution- even though we know it's the key to solving hunger. How does food get from the farm to people? Who decides where crops should go? Wow do those decisions trickle down to the place where most Americans get their food- retail grocery stores?
Errol Schweizer joins the pod to talk food systems, reform, and how some of the most lauded food reformers in America missed their goals by ignoring nuts-and-bolts distribution issues. If you like nerdy deep dives into topics that don't normally get much attention, this episode is for you! This interview is a two-part series. The second half releases on Farm to Taber's Patreon later this month.
Errol Schweizer writes and podcasts about food systems, based on over 20 years in food handling and distribution.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
