Global Mindsets Grounded In Local Work

This episode bridges the wisdom of a Farmer Reformer and a Community Strategist to discuss grounding a global mindset in local work. The Reformer, Martín Lemos, is the Co-Executive Director of the National Young Farmers Coalition. The Strategist, Ma’raj Sheikh, is the Systems and Strategy Manager of the Chicago Food Policy Action Council.

Is it possible to feed communities and the world without capitalism? What happens if people have more opportunities to encounter land and food production up close?

Learn about the ways different communities look at food, the importance of developing local and global mindsets, and navigating food politics while creating a path toward a resilient & equitable local food system.
