CAFÉ Talks Ep. 69 – The Chef's Garden

It’s hard to imagine two more significant issues than feeding the earth’s population with nutritious, flavorful food, and protecting the planet where we live. Farmers are at the center of both issues.

As chefs and culinary educators, we have an opportunity and most likely – an obligation to work with farmers as advocates for both sustainable practices and paying respect for the farmers work, through effective menu planning and preparation of Mother Nature’s harvest. 

Join CAFÉ Talks for a lively, and extremely important discussion with Farmer Lee Jones of The Chef’s Garden – one of the country’s most vocal ambassadors for sustainable farming, respect for ingredients, and building strong relationships with chefs.

Eight billion people on the planet and counting. Farmers, ranchers, and fisherman are faced with a momentous challenge: “How do we continue to feed a planet that is growing at an exponential rate, protect the integrity of our ecosystem, produce food that is delicious, nutritious, and safe, and do so with integrity”? 

Join CAFÉ Talks podcast as Dr. Alan McAnelly discusses regenerative agriculture and how it can help farmers, consumers, and the planet. Healthy soil builds healthy plants; healthy plants contribute to healthy animals, and ultimately healthy people.
