In my line of work, feeding people around the world, you cannot ignore the fact that our global food systems are broken. Rampant hunger and poverty, deteriorating public health and nutrition, a rising epidemic of diet-related diseases, and systemic inequities that put these problems on the shoulders of those who’ve been historically on the margins. A climate crisis that is getting worse and worse and putting the very ingredients of our culinary heritage – avocadoes, blueberries, coffee, paprika! – at risk of extinction.
