    Food Tank and Duke University’s World Food Policy Center recently hosted the “Empowering
    Eaters” Summit in support of the National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. This
    episode of “Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg” features two fireside chats from the event.
    First, hear from award-winning chef, author, educator, and advocate Sean Sherman, who sits
    down with Dani to discuss the harm colonization has caused to Indigenous food systems, the
    investment needed to undo this damage and support Native communities, and why it’s more
    important than ever before to build resilience. Then, Dani speaks with Baldemar Velasquez, the
    International President and Founder of the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC). They
    explore the false division that exists between farmers and farm workers, the skill and effort
    required of farm workers, and the potential benefits of minimum commodity prices for growers.

    potential.
    First, Luis Guardia, President of the Food Research & Action Center (FRAC), sits down with
    Dani to discuss the barriers to enrolling in nutrition assistance programs; the importance of
    protecting and expanding SNAP, the country’s first line of defense against hunger; and ongoing
    efforts to ensure that all children have access to healthy meals in schools. Then, hear a fireside
    chat between Dani and U.S. Congressmember Valerie Foushee, who represents North
    Carolina’s 4th Congressional District. They discuss the work of the bipartisan House Hunger
    Caucus; the value of programs like WIC, which help to nourish mothers, infants, and young children; and the need to vote for policymakers who are passionate about the communities they serve and represent the values we believe in.
