In their second conversation exploring power in the food system, the Feed Podcast speaks with Julie Guthman, professor and food geographer at UC Santa Cruz. Asking: how is Silicon Valley trying to transform the food system, who within Silicon Valley has the most power, and how does their vision compare with the Organic food movement? They also discuss the different ways ‘sustainability’ is understood in these two different worlds and the broader structures that define or limit their competing visions. And how her views on the Alternative Food Movement have evolved over time, and how Silicon Valley might be different if venture capitalists took her “101: Intro to Food and Ag” class.
